In these divided times, here’s something I think we can all get behind: James Blunt has promised to legally change his name to “whatever the public wants” if the new reissue of his Back To Bedlam album tops the charts. So far, the predictable Blunty McBluntface seems to be the online favourite, though other popular options include Yerb Eautiful, James Sharp, Blunt Force (I would add Trauma as a surname) and the spot-on (if somewhat wordy) Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pop Star Four Chord Song Machiney. While you brainstorm your suggestions, cruise through the other 420-some new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes looming on the horizon. If only there was a dirty word that rhymed with Blunt…
