Entertainment For Lively Minds
Have I missed the memo?

This message from Live Nation just bounced into my inbox.
The gargantuan Kasabian take their even bigger Velociraptor! album on the road this winter for a ten-date tour, flexing their muscles in some of the country's best arenas.
Since releasing their first album in 2004, the Leicestershire-based four-piece can lay claim to being bona fide rock legends, with three albums (two of them UK number ones) and a host of awards under their belt.
Gargantuan rock legends. Surely worthy of a Word cover methinks. Where does one start to appreciate their 3-album, 7-year stratospheric career to date?

Hyperbole...
is a wonderful thing.
It's only...
...the bestest thing in the world ever and I'm not even joking!!!
Can you warn me next time, please?
I didn't have anything to ejaculate into..
You know there was a thread earlier....
... asking how music journos can live with themselves for writing what they do?
That question is surely more applicable to music PR's and press folks? Like journos they are undeniably fans (why else work in music) but faced with the task of "enthuse about Kasabian" surely, even if you quite like them, your heart must sink a bit?
Either that or the person writing that is simply taking the piss. "Bona fide rock legends" indeed...
Have pity on press folk...
I once spent the day ringing journalists and gauging their reactions to the Bernie Torme solo album I had sent them. By the time I went home I had lost the will to live.
I like Kasabian
but my God, that PR puff piece doesn't do them any favours........
I wouldn't mind
but after 30+ years Dave Bartram has handed in his mic and now the 'wads don't have a frontman. When will the boy Tom step up and take his rightful place at the front of Leicester's second best Mud tribute act?
It would be great
... to live at a PR person's level of intensity for a while.

Class A Post-Oasis stadiun sated wankers.
See cover of this months Q (the rag for discerning Post-Oasis stadiun sated wankers) for full details.
ASA
I contacted the ASA as soon as I saw the cover. I mean, really. Kasabian? "Most Exciting Acts On Earth"? They can't get away with that, surely?
Agreed
Awful band! Terrible songs with very little to them beyond "attitude". Recently said they had "made their Revolver" and had been "living life at 100 miles an hour". Cliché by the dustbin full. Seems to be working for them though...
100 miles an hour....
....that would be drinking in the Rutland & Derby which now has a deli counter and making shite records with your old mates who are third rate Kasbian copyists anyway.
Sorting out Leicester's fact from fiction for several years now. You're welcome.

'Indie Club' sketch from the Fast Show:
What did you expect?
Well played. I forgot how funny that sketch is. How prescient too. I mean, that band could easily be mistaken for the future of music, The Vaccines.
Kasabian
Cunts' music.
Are the nominations open yet
for Massive post of the year?
A prime example of why this blog is losing it's appeal......
PC - takes one to know one, kiddo ;)
What DOES Serge Pizzorno look like?
A prize knob, that's what.
