From what I remember Weaveworld would be ideal for a tv series. "we've got the carpet!" "We've lost the carpet!!" etc. Cliffhangers a gogo there
Is it just that this recent spell of cover versions is symptomatic of a larger problem? With these "remodelled" takes on old stuff, what I'm reminded of isn't pretty. Revising history can only lead to a dearth of new ideas as mistakes from the past get forgotten about and then sadly repeated due to a closed system of "approved" thoughts.
Ahem. As you were.
