Thanks be to D.J. Mark Ronson.
Guest on a recent edition of NPR's All Songs Considered, Ronson threw a blinding bit of musical anthropology in to the mix.
What's inspired his horny production of Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen?
Answer: the totally brilliant Stone Roses' Fool's Gold.
Madchester is usually a hermetically-sealed sea of rave. A snow-globe of floppy fringes and fishing hats.
Is it coming out of the cold? Or have I just been living in the fridge?
The gold roads sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days...
(And Rowena Ronson, if you read this, please get in touch!)
