And you call yourselves music journalists?

So much music news to comment on this week but before I write something lengthier, I'd like to quickly draw your attention to a little article currently splashed across the front page of NME.com, which claims that Amy Winehouse covered Green Day's 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' at her comeback show in Brazil last night.

One swift, ten second Youtube search reveals that actually, the reality is somewhat different:



Yes, that'll be the Al Dubin/Harry Warren 30s classic, NME. You know, this one.

And no, I care not that it is actually the good old Sun website that originally made the greivous error. They seem to have retracted all reference to the supposed cover . NME should know better than to source their material from two bit right wing arserags with the reading age of a nine year old.

And they call themselves music journalists.
