Joss Stone: Continued Mentalism
Credit: Found On Internet
Back in a more innocent time, as I lay on my bed after school and listened to whatever new CD (remember those?) that I'd bought during the lunch hour, I used to read the sleeve notes and ponder such questions as "I wonder why they felt the need to give 'big respect' to 'Danny G and the Aldwich Crew' and the rest?", and think to myself, "wow, wouldn't it be cool to get my name on a record sleeve!"
Then I grew up, realised that Danny G was probably the band's drug dealer, and that only the worst kind of leech-like self-absorbed hack would get any kind of satisfaction from being mentioned in the sleeve notes.
It seems that Joss Stone is a big fan of sleeve notes too - having written such a long 'Thank You' spiel that her record company have had to dump the whole thing onto the web. All 7000 words of it. You can see the full missive here:

If the sales figures this week are anything to go by, Joss might be in need of some additional help from all those people she's thanking. She's going to need "much love".
Music Towers approached bookmakers William Hill to ask if they would give us odds on Joss going into rehab by the end of the year. Curiously, the refused to give us any odds.
