New Year’s Vice-Solutions (Part One)

For a while there it was tempting to give a few things up, now that it's 2010 and all. Ice cream, smoking... y'know. Maybe we could do without.

But then we thought... hey! Why not take up some new vices instead! Arguably that might be more fun, and yet still create the illusion of change! Perfect.

With this in mind, we've been asking some of our fave rock stars what bad habits they're keen to take up in the new year. Over to them.

EMMY THE GREAT
"This may be a cliché, but I’m going to drink more. I don’t drink at all when we’re on tour, and last year we toured a lot. I also want to watch more films with Diane Keaton in them, and if Steve Martin is involved, I’ll watch it twice. Yearly resolutions are hard to remember, so I find it helps to keep them on a smaller cycle. For example – this week, I’m watching It’s Complicated three or four times. It’ll help ease me into my 2010 of comfortable, divorcé comedies. First Wives Club and Nancy Meyers, here I come."

FICTION
"This year we will be in the habit of shamelessly courting publicity, no matter how inconsequential, irrelevant and detrimental. We will dress as easter bunnies three weeks before easter; we will play on the roof of Mcdonalds smothered in grease; we will donate official fiction jism to the sperm bank. This feature is our first, tentative penetration. Be gentle now."

THE JIM JONES REVUE
"The Jim Jones Revue will not be giving up their quest to breath life & excitement into a moribund UK music industry. The Jim Jones Revue's New Year's resolution is to make even more noise, play even harder & filthier rock’n’roll for even longer and to leave no stone unturned in their quest!"
