The Kaiser Chiefs and the Arctic Monkeys need to shut up. Tonight, London hosts the NME Awards Show and the only thing people are talking about is the possibility of a hostile exchange between the two aforementioned British bands. That's because they've been talking a bunch of baloney about one another. It started with Alex Turner, head ape for the Monkeys, stating that if the comparisons to the Kaiser Chiefs--their recent release, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, continues to tear up the British charts-- keep up when they release their upcoming album, Brianstorm, AM will quit making music. That's a load of rubbish. So then, rather than smartly saying, " We don't waste time talking sh*t about another band, because it's lame," which it is, Kaiser Chiefs keyboardist Nick Baines replied through Gigwise with the following:
"We're an easy target because nobody ever slags off a small band. It'd be better if they were writing better songs than us, but they're not, so they can shut up."
And as if that wasn't enough, he topped it off with this:
"It's not as if I'm hurt or lying awake at night or anything. We'll get on with what we're doing and you get back to packing shelves in supermarkets again."
If it doesn't matter, then don't say anything. Maybe they'll get in a fist fight tonight at the NME Awards. That would be really tough, huh? I don't even know why I'm posting about this. After all, Notorious has already spoken the truth about "beef." Don't remember. Here's a refresher.
