Haha and I was gonna put Johnny Borrell in... But Bono- Now that is a touch of genius.

Johnny Borrell is the gobby lead singer of what pretty much amounts to a bad Libertines tribute band who get far more attention than they deserve. He has absolutley nothing to be self deprecating about

somewhere else isnt a bad song though.

Yeah it follows that Razorlight trend of having what should be really crummy lyrics, and a simplistic tune, but still manages to be really good. If anything there a top-class pop band, I dont know where their indie cred comes from.... And to be honest Urban Hatemonger, I think The Libertines are a lazy comparison, the two aren't really that alike.

Johnny Borrell was in my local bar last Tuesday night. Happy days! So so so much pleasure was taken from seeing him look at me, I walked up to him, said "excuse me" and as he smiled and was ready to sign my chest or something similar, I asked if he could move out the way as he was blocking my way to the toilets. He looked gutted!!

I like the Block Party because of their light rock sound. My favorite song by them is This Modern Love.
