Brits, A Proper Nash Review, and Why Colds Suck Ass

The Brit Awards (also referred to as the British version of the Grammys) are tomorrow (or Thursday, I can't remember which) and it seems that whoever runs the ceremony has decided to shorten the list in the category of best single. As some readers might remember, the Kaiser Chiefs were one of the groups originally nominated for this award. As of today, that is no longer true. So what does the band do in reaction? Have their lead singer open his big mouth. "I am just a bit annoyed" is the least offensive part of the quotes used from Mr. Wilson's interview with BBC 6Music earlier today. Bashing the singles that did get nominated was something else he did. Now it's been a long time since I've criticized a group or individual, but there are time when keeping one's gob shut, especially when one is being interviewed, would be a very good idea. If one doesn't do that, then one will be ridiculed in this blog, it's practically my job. On the other hand the only good song on the now shortened list is "Valerie" by Mark Ronson. The other songs, as far as I know or can tell, are shite. Still, it's just not good manners to bash. So remember that next time Richard. >_<
I'm going to admit something. I've been trying to write a review of Made of Bricks for hours and I can't do it. Let's just say my main issue with the album is that, much like Mel Brooks, Miss Nash doesn't know how to end things. Mel Brooks can't end a movie well and Kate Nash doesn't know when to end a song. Otherwise the album is pure gold.
You know why cold suck ass? They suck ass because they suck all the life out of you and make playing the clarinet harder than it already is when you don't practice as often as you should. It also makes life generally difficult because the instinct to stay curled up in ball is often overridden by the need for food, which is hard to get because it's far away and you just want to stay curled up in a ball. Colds also suck because they make your nose all congested and so you have to blow your nose all the time which is, in and of itself, a pain in the ass. Generally colds just suck a big one and should go away. Stupid rhinovirus.
