Ooooo

Boyfriend is WORKING that new haircut....

Kasabian at Lowlands Festival

'Where Did All the Love Go?'- Kasabian

Great track, fantastic album. And Serge has eyeliner on, bless.

Oh, BOYS

Let's stick to oneword album titles next time, please.

*shakes head*

Kasabian's new album is called 'West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum'.The follow up to 'Empire' (2007) was recorded in San Francisco last year.Although no tracklisting for the album has been released yet, HMV.co.uk is listing 'West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum' as being released on June 8.

LORD

Oh, Thomas. There is so much wrong going on with your look right now. The hair, the ginormous boutonniere you've taken to wearing everywhere... but I am very, very, very excited about the new album, darling.

Oh holy Jesus

I would kill, KILL, to be at the Heaton Park gigs.

No, actually, I wouldn't.

No, I totally would.

Oasis have announced details of the summer UK dates for 2009 this afternoon (October 16) at Wembley Stadium.After a quick photocall on the pitch, the band's leader Noel Gallagher hosted a question and answer session at the English football stadium confirming the band will play that venue twice, along with two special hometown gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park next year.Support at the shows, which also include the already announced show at Slane Castle, will come from Kasabian and The Enemy.

I'd be way more excited about this

if Thomas hadn't (apparently) adopted Meatloaf as a style icon.

Haircut, love. And a shave. Please, darling. You're hurting me.

New material sounds promising, though.

*high five*

There's a lot of singing at Kasabian gigs. Their songs - enormous chanted choruses with juddering rhythms - are often simple in construction but have managed to locate the secret nerve centre which makes human beings sing along while hurling a plastic beer glass in the air. While they've been away working on their third album, the band's sound has - if anything - got even bigger. Oldies like Shoot the Runner and Processed Beats now sound like Pizzorno's garden UXB has been grafted into the rhythm section.

And the new songs unveiled suggest this isn't about to change. Fire- which sounds like a glam rock Hokey Cokey and actually includes the line "shake it to the left" - is only seconds old when those hands shoot back up in the air. It's surely only a matter of time before the band start taking to the stage in tanks.

Oh, boys

I have MISSED reading your interviews...

Perhaps the most enjoyable of their excursions into abuse was when, on discovering that Keane's posh Tom Chaplain had admitted himself into The Priory, Pizzorno commented that it was to treat an addiction to port.

*snort* Seriously, one of the funniest things ever.

"We can't wait to see Browny," beams Meighan. "It's amazing he's going to be there. He's a kung-fu master. You can't really compare what we do, though. He's a completely different fish from what I am: I'm like a piranha and he's like some kind of amphibian. He can also live on land. He's hardcore."

"Kung-fu master."

"Piranha."

"Live on land."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh THOMAS. Bless your random little heart.

I have no words,

only incoherent sounds. Damn, I have to go lie down now.

(items giving me heart failure are in red)

The lineup for the Guardian's intimate Lounge tent at this year's Glastonbury festival has been confirmed today, with Kasabian, Estelle and Los Campesinos! all set to make an appearance.

The lounge, which will this year have an intimate "old mansion" theme, is set to host DJ sets from Hercules and the Love Affair and Guilty Pleasures. There will also be performances from Glastonbury stalwart Billy Bragg, Swedish pop star Annie, and Helsinki, the new side project from Babyshambles' bassist Drew McConnell.

That's a whole lotta

WHEEEEEEE

'Fast Fuse' is on the new album! WOO! And may I say, Sergio looks FINE in that hat. Boy does love his hats. However, Thomas needs to get his hair 'Cutt Off.' You see what I did there? Am impressed with own cleverness.

Happy birthday, sweetie!

Hope you had a great one, Thomas, and that everyone showed you their hands today. Because that seems like something you'd enjoy...

I'm not ashamed to admit

that I screamed when I saw this.

Kasabian were joined onstage by pal Noel Gallagher as they rang in the New Year in the early hours of this morning (January 1) with a special Hogmanay show in Scotland.The band rounded off 2007 with a spectacular performance which saw fireworks blasted off at the climax of their hour-long set in Edinburgh Gardens. And the Oasis main-man joined them for the last three songs, performing on 'Club Foot', 'Stuntman' and 'LSF'.

Update- I also screamed when I saw this in The Independent.

WITH LAUGHTER. Oh Thomas, you silly, fashion-challenged boy....

...singer Tom Meighan – somewhat metrosexually outfitted in fitted black jeans and shirt, and high-heeled brothel creepers....

Doesn't this sound like fun?

More fun than a barrel of monkeys, actually......

Kasabian will headline the Hogmanay event at Edinburgh's Concert In The Gardens on New Year's Eve.They will be supported onstage in Princes Street Gardens by Idlewild.The Concert In The Gardens is the highlight of Edinburgh's Hogmanay

Singer Tom Meighan said: "It is an honour to be asked to play Hogmanay this year."Scotland is always a special place to play and New Year's Eve will be even more special. We promise."

Somewhere in England,

A certian Star Wars enthusiast rock star is going "WOW! I wish I would have thought of that!"

'Cutt Off'

Mick Rock photoshoot

I had to stop watching this about halfway through. Why? I was giggling so badly, I couldn't hear a thing. SO Austin Powers. Only with cute rock boys, not what's-her-ass from 'Third Rock From The Sun.'

HOT DIGGITY DOG!

'Lord Don't Slow Me Down', the Oasis documentary by Baillie Walsh has received a US release date of November 4.

Gee, I wonder what bit Kazza and I will be watching over and over..... the Serge playing put-put bit?

Or the part where Our Kid is dancing, unaware that the dorkiest commentary in the history of film is going on? (cough, cough, Thomas)
