One thing that gave me the biggest urge to come straight on here and moan is Kings of Leon's new single! What??? Is??? Going??? On??? They already made me very sad from watching their strop and abuse on the Reading Main Stage last summer, but to be fair it was slightly out of their hands seeing as they can't really be to blame from the curse of the mainstream... but I still loved them - just a little less, as I kept hold of the masterpiece that is Aha Shake Heartbreak in my memory of them plus some of Only By The Night is alright... But what is this!? If I was listening it to one of the ten times it's been played on radio one then I probably wouldn't have been so... disappointed. I saw it on good old nme.com and it is very... African Child with Russell Brand from Get Him To The Greek. Since when did they play with little children?! Surely that's for the old rock bands who need to revive their career and are easy to get to go to those type of places? And what's with the title Radioactive? (yes I have only listened to the song once and it is probably in the lyrics) Are they saving these deprived children from radioactivity? Is that why they're hanging out in a barn in the countryside? Very random. The music is promising, it sounds like a good tune until the weird gospel-y chorus.
A new direction I would not like to go down thanks. But they play to a different crowd now, and I'm sure they will like it. If not radio one will make them anyway.

In other AMAZING news, apparently naked pics of Pete Doherty have leaked online. Best news I've heard in a while. Let's hope it doesn't go far though, might have a negative impact on his career. Oh wait.
