an open letter to the kaiser chiefs
dear kaiser chiefs,
i think i might like you. i have certainly like everything i have heard from you. unlike a lot of your contemporaries, you don't make me shakingly angry when i hear you on the radio.
in short, i would like to purchase your new album, yours truly angry mob.
but, i can't.
you see, kaiser chiefs, in your "hippness" you have made a grave error. when i say that i would like to buy your album, i mean i would like to purchase the following:
- one (1) compact disc containing the tracks on said album
- one (1) plastic jewel case (any of the known variations; a suitable substitute would be a "digi-pak" case)
- some catchy art work on the front and back of the case/package
what i would NOT like to purchase is:
-a small hardcover "book" that contains a compact disc AND a mandatory DVD of you playing in berlin.
no, kaiser chiefs, i just want to buy the album. please let me know when it is available.
i look forward to your response.
sincerely,
cade

Sr. Cade,
Thank you for your interest in The Kaiser Chiefs.
In an effort to give people a reason to buy a CD as opposed to downloading our music off the internet, we thought a "small hardcover book" and DVD would be a good idea. Clearly we are not reaching our target market of "early 30's music afficiandos"
Please feel free to download like crazy as we no longer deserve your business. You then can take those digital audio files, burn them onto a CD containing the tracks on said album. Take a plastic jewel case from your secret Richard Marx CD and draw up some catchy artwork on the fron and back of the case/package. Perhaps a picture of Bill Self.
Regards,
David Tran
wow. i've never been called an afficiando before. thanks, dave tran.
i find it odd that David Tran came up with a suggestion for the Bill Self pic for the cover of your album. if this truly was David Tran he undoubtedly would have suggested Bunnie, hustler's honey of the month.
If Bill Self is on the cover I suggest you make him wear one of the dark suits he owns. Those light ones are an eyesore and the real reason I believe KU lost the game on Saturday night.
james- i just find it odd that he was able to string together two whole paragraphs without screaming "I gon kill you johndale!"
it was his trademark after all.
I like the phrase "shakingly angry." That is so fitting of how I feel about music on the radio these days, and the local news at night.
I never give you my Bunnie postah!!!!
I gon kill you jondale!!!
