Kaiser Chiefs on album two: "We are full of inspiration"

Kaiser Chiefs have apparently polished off their second long-player, currently scheduled for an early-2007 release.

Drummer Nick Hodgson has been speaking to Billboard about the album, the follow-up to breakthrough debut Employment.

"We're not retracing any steps here. We are full of inspiration. It's a big world out there. There's a lot of things to draw upon. Just like that album was written about what was happening then, this one's written about what's happening now."

That album, of course, is Employment. I don't own a copy, which must make me one of, oooooh, eighteen people nationwide? Something like that. This is quite a short article, isn't it? Perhaps I should pad it out some more. We won at the weekend, Southampton; Mario Licka scored his first goal for us. That's a funny name, Licka. Rhymes with Snicka, which is nearly a type of chocolate bar.

and still play it.

Wooooooooooooooooooargh!

I know Rick Wilson is carrying a bit of timber but to accuse them of eating their own product is something else!

and on a completely unrelated note, I also don't own a copy of 'Nevermind'.

have long been aware of my disdain for their taste in music. I'm awaiting 'the phone call' from my mum to say 'ooh have you heard of the Kaiser Chiefs?'

I'm with Joey Ramone on this. Loved DiS so much they ran as soon as more wedge was dangled in front of their tight arsed yorkshire noses. Funny that!

me too!!!

although i do have 'Bleach'

is incesticide, because i saw it in a secondhand record shop for £2. it looks pretty stupid sitting there on the shelf by itself

its not pronounced so it rhymes with snicka though, its pronounced "litch-car".

you are such an arm-chair fan

mediocre band. why is everyone so obsessed and in love with mediocrity these days? what IS it with the world?

wank.

hope 2nd album is some sort of improvement

The padding gag..... This could bring a new meaning to all killer, no filler.

their new album will be great
they have a knack of writing very catchy songs and the only reason Employment feels a bit tired now is it's been burned by radio adoration. I reckon they'll do well all over again. What a bummer for the fools on this board. Remember you started it all.

...for some reason I've always seen fit to steal their music from others. I think its because I like them, but Thom Yorke's 'ooooh I'm soooo socially and politically aware that I don't even need to write proper songs anymore, and anyway I'm so bastard clever that you'll still love the random nonsense we come up with because, admittedly, we are absolute musically geniuses and there's nothing you can do about it' pretentious clever arse aurora makes me try my best to dislike them. I feel better for sharing that.

She then asked me about the Artic Monkeys.

in my collection either.
They can fuck right off.

I'm guessing the second album will consist of the lead singer going "whoooooooooooooo" though in a penalty shoot out style.
Such a fucking wanker!
