Some stories you just couldn‘t make up. The tale of
young Blunt going from armed forces orderly to
supermodel serial dater is one you couldn’t make up. The secret behind his ascension into the upper echelons of international stardom? Those songs. The ubiquity of ‘You're Beautiful’ is only the start of it, his second album All the Lost Souls is shifting in similar hot cake style. It may lack depth but it has a sincerity that is so earnest it hurts. So, fair play to him I guess.

REASONS TO GO SEE
1 Indulge your musical whims indoors Instead It's January. you're skint. it's cold outside and there are hardly any decent bands playing at this time of year anyway (the ones worth seeing we've told you about elsewhere in the mag). You got some gift tokens at Christmas, so here are our recommendations for how to spend “em on a music themed night in.
2 AO/Dc’s Plug Me In Air guitar in the comfort of your own living room with this gargantuan box set DVD collection, which has seven hours of classic live footage spanning almost 30 years. Get your school uniform out. shout ‘Angus!’ and frighten the neighbours' cat.
3 Slash: The Autobiography If anyone's got a story to tell, it's the world's best and most famously debauched guitarist (and that probably includes Keith Richards). Cat Deeley once asked Slash live on CD:UK to talk about an outrageous thing he did on tour. then was treated to a story about the guitarist getting a blowiob under the table. What a ridiculous thing to ask Slash on live kids' telly.
4 SIgur Ros' Heima Redefining the tour movie, this sumptuous and moving documentary follows Iceland's favourite sons as they play a fortnight of unannounced free live shows around their homeland, performing everywhere from environmental protest camps to disused fish factories and tiny tearooms. Genius.
5 Bit of a Blur by Alex James It Slash's mayhemic life is too much, relive those heady Britpop years with the floppy-haired, Ivy- hanging, country-fopp James. Expect smugness aplenty. but much fun also. (Doug Johnstone) Eat Your house, all fortnight.
