That’s the one. I went to see David Bellamy talk about ozone damage after school one day in 1985 at Carrs Lane Church central Birmingham.

My mate took his shoes off mid speech and stank the place out.

I always remember Matt Bellamy saying he could understand why people would like Coldplay and hate Muse. I might be making that up, but that battle is the epitome of NME circa 2001. Guess we’ll finally see for sure.

Muse vs Coldplay is the difficult one. I just about prefer Coldplay but I really don’t want them to win the whole thing. Can I vote for Muse twice in a row?

Biffy better fucking destroy Queen or I will be quite grumpy for a few minutes
