Cornershop...time to shut up shop?
2007-06-22 11:08:00 It was nice to see Cornershop picked by Jarvis Cocker to play as part of his Meltdown selection. It would also have been nice to hear from the man himself the reasoning behind his choice. This is a band who haven't released an album in over 5 years ( 2002's Handcream for a Generation).
