Who else is actually loving the Kings of Leon but actually...

[WilfSell]

...we're too embarrassingly old.

I don't care though.

[SixSpotBurnet]

Oh me - I love them even though I'm probably old enough to be their mum!

[snigger]

I have just alienated my DSD forever, after twelve years of ardent effort, by singing along to Sex On Fire with the car window down.

36, old enough to know better, and proud !

[SixSpotBurnet]

I haven't heard the new album yet though - is it any good? I read a review of it which made them sound a bit worryingly bombastic and kind of stadium rock - say it ain't so, someone!

[WilfSell]

I am going to go out and buy it this very weekend SSB. I like a bit of stadium rock.

[SixSpotBurnet]

Well, I look forward to your review then WilfSell!

[iLoveIceCream]

My dad is their biggest fan - lol you're never too old. I dont think their new album is out yet, only on pre-release

[WilfSell]

Anyone in the music biz can send me a burned copy?

Come on, it was worth a try? Whiley must MN, no? Or does she hate them?

[moondog]

I thought I'd be really into them.
But CD i bought was a fucking racket.
Must try again.
I must have been in a vile mood.

[SixSpotBurnet]

Which one is that, Moondog?

There is a very Pixies-esque track on the last album which could justifiably be described as a racket. Fine if you like the Pixies (as I do).

[iLoveIceCream]

u must be able to import it from america as my dad got a copy from a lad he works with - unfortunately it jumps the whole way through, i was gutted!!!

[moondog]

Because of the times

I like the Pixies too though.

[SixSpotBurnet]

Ooh, I recommend you persevere, moondog. 'Tis fantastic. Honest, guv.

[moondog]

Alright,will give it another whirl.

I am very into blasting Souther rock anyway.

[WilfSell]

Moondog!



a telegraph reading, Toryish, Phase 8 wearing, Dickenson loving, Welshish, radical BFing...

...Pixies lover.

God, you rock.

[moondog]

Why thank you!

Top band ever is/was Creedence Clearwater though. I reckon 'Fortunate Son' (slagging off sons of politicians who draft dodged in 60s) is poss. in my top 10.
I ran my best ever 5km in gym to this today.

[SixSpotBurnet]

Oh, I love that song - I have it on my iPod!

(I'm an Irish, Guardian-reading, Coast-wearing, Roth-reading feminist who rates the Pixies, just in case you're interested .)

[moondog]

I don't know much about Coast...
Ireland v nice last summer though.
I career through hills full of sheeps, air punching and yowling to that.
I grew up on it. My parents were/are huge CCR fans.

[piratecat]

ah they are so yummy, i went to see them in 2005, at the ripe old age of 36!!!

[AstroPup]

Theyre bloody brilliant.
I said to someone the other day how fantastic the single is (probably my song of the year so far) and he said "oh, whats it called?"
"its called.... um, yeah im not too sure" i couldnt bring myse;f to say 'sex is on fire'

[piratecat]

the sex song

[AstroPup]

Oh @ that song...
and at his voice.
and at him in general really.
And at 1 or 2 of the others while i'm at it, I suppose!

[piratecat]

lol they r 3 brothers and a cousin i believe.

imagine boxing day ruond at their house!!

[Raahh]

mmm LOVE this song...

They SOUND older than they look though, don't they?? ( justifies crush to self )

[southeastastra]

i went to see them moondog and thought they sounded like a racket too, don't mind some o f the songs but they're not a stadium band and they're really for blokes

[niceglasses]

Oh God am obsessed. Saw them at Glastonbury.......want to marry all of them. Am 40 but don't care.
