Bitchery - Luke Haines on Damon & Justine

 
Haines was the leader of The Auteurs who preceded the golden days of Britpop slightly. From his first memoir Bad Vibes. Caustic, but not I imagine completely unjustified as neither ever bothered to hide their full on naked ambition.
 
'Frischmann is a drag, an ambitious media arriviste... but with a couple of impeccable notches on her bedpost: Brett Anderson and now Damon Albarn.. I haven't paid much attention to Albarn until recently, but now the fucker seems to be popping up all over the press, always with something bitchy to say about my band or Suede. The man is becoming a pest. Clearly he has been paying attention. The first time I see Damon and Justine together they are practically dragging each other down Camden High Street. A gruesome couple. A pair of greedy hobgoblins, knocking down small children in their path, batting away passers-by and anyone they perceive as a possible threat to their rise to the top.'
