Top five men I am in love with today. Marry me, Jarvis.

top five bands that can fuck off

The Killers Brandon Flowers is quoted as saying that Sam’s Town would be “one of the best albums in the past twenty years”. Perhaps it might be remembered as derivative, vapid crap, but one of the best? Bitch, please.

Coldplay Pompous, mawkish drivel. Moving on.

Arctic Monkeys and Bloc Party Hey, Gang of Four called. They want their sound back. Snooze.

Kings of Leon Proving that there is a correlation between the lack of facial hair and selling out.
