Mick Quinn, the bassist for british rock band Supergrass broke 2 vertabrae in his back and shattered his heel in a bizarre accident in the south of France. Apparently he was sleepwalking and walked right out of a first floor window. Thankfully the doctors expect him to make a full recovery, but the band has had to cancel a few shows as a result. Get well soon Mick!
When Cantinero broke through a couple years back, it was easy to be staggered by the subtle genius of what he was doing. Simple melodys laden with nuanced lyrics, delivered with a sly semi-European accent that makes you question your own integrity. News of a new Cantinero record to come is certainly good news, to be titled “Better For The Metaphor” and this will only serve to whet the appetite:

Also, be sure to scan YouTube for a few hilarious “making of” promo clips from this record.
