One might argue that the MySpace Of The Day feature is all about championing fresh, up and coming music acts. One might be right. But there's always a reason to break the rules, and on this occasion, championing a TV presenter who's doing very nicely, thank you, and who doesn't make any music at all seems fair enough. Of course, Simon Amstell does have a link to music, and it's not that tenuous. Firstly, he presented Pop World, one of CMU's favourite things in its Amstell-Oliver heyday (that doesn't mean I don't like Alex Zane - I do - but does anyone watch Popworld anymore?). Secondly, and this is the reason why I'm doing his MySpace today, he's the new presenter of BBC2's music quiz, 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', which starts again tonight at 10pm. Hurrah. It'll be funny, and it's music related, so I can call it 'work' and watch it with a clear conscience. To be fair, there's not a great deal on his MySpace page, no music, no blog entries, etc. That's not really the point though. Just make friends. Watch the show.
