Oh goodness, aren't there a lot of miserable boys in the chart this week?

Busy day on Poptimists today - we have Pop Premiership results up later on.

Why can't Muse go away and leave everyone alone?

With every new album the first single is vaguely interesting, and I think "Oh, perhaps Muse are going to do something a bit different now instead of all this overblown epic wank". And they never do! The ballads are always the worst bit too.

This is very true. They are also the most insanely pretentious people on the planet. As are many of their fans. 'OMG MAN MUSE REINVENTED MUSIC HOW CAN YOU NOT HOLD THEM AS YOUR GODS' etc.

It's like Placebo (as a phenomena, although they are vaguely sonically similar in places too) only vaguely more offensive insofar as at least you know where you are with Brian Molko and he probably doesn't think he's Jimi fkn Hendrix or whatever.
