It happened in the same week The Long Blondes split up, in which Kate Jackson ironically appeared the next day on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Citing Dorian's health as the main reason the five-piece are no longer, most fans are holding out for Dorian's recovery - and perhaps a reprieve.
I on the other hand am none too fussed, but two years ago I definitely would've been. I remember a time when Someone to Drive You Home was pretty much all I listened to and the video for Giddy Stratospheres temporarily took over my disco brain.
But new-era Long Blondes? No. I remember the incredible sense of disappointment listening to Century for the first time. That's not the band I spent the last half of 2006 obsessing over. Their Couples album was such a disappointment, and when I saw them live this April there was very little old stuff played. No Giddy Stratospheres, I wasn't taken to them.
Still, if just for the early demos and the first album only it's still a pretty sad event - especially as its due to Dorian and his stroke back in the Summer.
I'm not even nineteen yet.
