Well whatever you do - if you happen to pass through wales, DON'T put the local radio on because you'll hear "america" by razorlight. Guaranteed! As for that Borrell bloke - he comes across as being an arrogant swine in interviews. The same sort of arrogance of the Brothers Gallagher ensured I was prejudiced against every release by them!
I can't see what's so special about Razorlight - the lyrics are hardly that inspiring, vocally he's alright ( a bit whiny) and the songs are not that uplifting.

Yeah, what happened with the Kaiser Chiefs? I have the exact same feeling - I loved their first album and had bought it as soon as I heard "Oh my God" - it was such a different album and reminded me of some of the new wave bands from the 70s that I like. Kind of sham 69 "hurry up harry" for the 2000s I thought.
However - that "Ruby" was a poor showing and I didn't rate the follow ups either. I didn't invest in their second album. Back to "Hurry up harry" and "angels with dirty faces" for me
Another song I've had following me around for the last couple of days that is doing my head in is that Girls Aloud - can't speak french. Well, neither can I but who gives a monkeys??
