I wasn't terribly impressed with that article, to be honest. It came across as a wee bit fawning... I like the Wire for its irrationality, its inconsistencies, but sometimes their desire to keep pushing a person's 'avant stripes' annoys me. There's nothing particularly 'trangressive' about Grinderman, nor has there been with Cave for nearly 20 years - doesn't stop him being good, does mean the journalism (often top-notch) seems to fall into NME-esque pits of fallacious rhetoric.
