Kaiser Chiefs: 'Albums Are Boring'

KC drummer Nick Hodgson shares the following quote with XFM: *"We're going to record (new songs) and then put them out... albums are a bit boring at the moment, but we'll consider that later... I honestly think it's our best song ever, but I'm not going to tell you what it's called. I'm really excited about the new ones because everyone who's heard them, basically in our crew, are going on about them and saying they're the best ones we've ever done... which is good."* Enjoy a Kaiser Chiefs MP3 below.

Charlatans Team Up With XFM For Free Album

Charlatans frontman, Tim Burgess, explains: "We want 'the people' to own the music and we want the artist i.e. us, to own the copyright. Why let a record company get in the way of the people getting the music? We reckon the people who listen to Xfm are the people who love The Charlatans and we're excited at releasing our forthcoming singles and tenth studio album online free of charge through xfm.co.uk."
