A dagger in the heart of popism, from its very own ideological godfather: Paul Morley's obituary for Girls Aloud , condemned with the kiss-off "canned candy pop". This from the author of Words and Music, the Mein Kampf of Popism!

Joy, being a veteran of NYC Eighties clubland, pointed out that Trader Joe's occupies the same building that once housed the Palladium, a reasonably legendary New York nightclub owned until quite recently by Peter "The Limelight" Gatien and before that originally opened by Steve "Studio 54" Rubell. So where people once lined up behind the velvet rope hoping to get inside and partake of the electric vibe, now they queue patiently in the street outside hoping to get in there and load up on tapenades, organic salsas, fresh soups and other delicacies for the domestic larder. That's your culture-into-pleasure relapse right there! (In fact before it was a nightclub it was a theatre I believe).
