TREVOR CHERRY
I've run out of ideas for posts, so have looked through my archives.
This is the equivalent of finding something crumpled from the bottom of the wardrobe because everything else is in the wash.
Still, the following post is fairly timely, because at the weekend The Kaiser Chiefs play at Elland Road Stadium on Saturday and Leeds United are facing Doncaster Rovers in the final of the League One play offs at Wembley on Sunday. Click here to see a 1970's style interview and crap photo of The Kaiser Chiefs self consciously waving scarves about.
... so, in the most tenuous way possible, this post is dedicated to Leeds supporter Beth off of Girl On A Train (who has mastered the art of the short and well written post and therefore I am envious of her) ... even though she probably doesn't like The Kaiser Chiefs and will be biting her nails down to the quick on Sunday. Best of luck, Beth.

I had a dream that we were on holiday in my childhood home town. We were walking around the backstreets and memories of days gone by came flooding back.
I had a dream that we were on holiday in my childhood home town. We were walking around the backstreets and memories of days gone by came flooding back.
The reverie was broken by the sound of a screeching car swerving up the kerb. We had to run for our lives.
The driver was that keyboard player with the hat on from The Kaiser Chiefs.
It turned out that Geoff had written something that wasn't particularly complimentary about The Kaiser Chiefs on his blog. The man with the hat on had obviously not taken kindly to it.
It was fucking scary. He followed us around the streets, slowing down then speeding up again.
In the end, we had to hide under the bridge by the town's railway station. That threw him off the scent, thank gawd.
The surprising thing is, I would've thought that the one out of the Kaiser Chiefs to have got upset would have been the drummer. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, that drummer is a sinister bugger. He has megalomaniac tendencies. How many other bands have drummers who write the songs? How many other bands have drummers who do all the interviews and seemingly shoo the singer out of the spotlight?
Exactly ... the only other drummer I'm aware of who has such control freak tendencies is Dave Clark, who now owns about a quarter of the world and has Flying V eyebrows.
You see what'll happen. In 20 years' time, that drummer from The Kaiser Chiefs will be Rupert Murdoch. Don't say I didn't warn you.
That keyboard player in the hat though ... MENTALIST ...
