Blur’s bassist Alex James has decided he wants to get into making cheese. In his column for the Independent, he said loves cheese and as a result he wants to go into independent cheese making.
He followed up by claiming that his “heart always beats a little bit faster in the cheese aisle of a French supermarket. The Italians, too, eat more cheese than us, as do the Danes. Danish cheese is not as well known, but well worth exploring.”
And if that wasn’t enough, Marilyn Manson wants to set up his own line of absinthe and went further, saying he wants his brand ready for Christmas. The only problem with that is the fact that absinthe is illegal in the States. Oops.
The former Blur man will be releasing a double A side on October 23rd on 7″ vinyl and also via download.
