Scouting For Girls move up another place on the annoyingometer

Have a read of this.

ARGRGHHH!!!

(Left to right in The Sun's picture: the man off that Channel 4 doc­u­ment­ary about people who wrap their poo in newspaper and hide it in the loft and then the council have to come round, Johnny Knoxville in the back of a spoon, would have been in a boyband if this was 2001.)

This might be a good time to come clean about something we've been meaning to mention for a couple of weeks now which is that the new Pigeon Detectives single is actually quite brilliant.

Brilliant in a kind of "band forced by label to make festival anthem along the lines of 'Monster'" way, but brilliant.

Whatever next, The Zutons turning in an unex­pec­tedly tri­umphant glam rock epic? :(
