Keane are at number one in the album charts. To celebrate this turn of events they're this week's subject for
10 Things.... We realise that this isn't exactly a hugely inspired choice, but hey, they started it! Anyway, here are ten entirely true and in no way made up facts about the nations favourite cherubic faced piano rockers.
- Cherubic is a euphemism for 'Chubby'.
- Keanes' Hopes and Fears are essentially filed under two categories: Fears that they'll get beaten up by the school bullies and hopes that they won't get beaten up by the school bullies.
- Keane are so posh that their underwear is handwoven from the finest cashmere and they still believe that the Big Issue is nothing more than an extravagant sneeze
- Tim and Tom are both massive fans of the Flintstones and both have hats crafted to look like their favourite character. Tim's is a replica of Barney Rubble, while Tom's is Fred shaped.
- Rice-Oxley is a popular style of Vietnamese cooking.
- Newie Under The Iron Sea is a concept album about how frustrated Tim had to deal with a massive pile of creased shirts.
- Like Chicks on Speed, they don't need guitars. This is just one of one ways in which Keane are like Chicks on Speed.
- Top audio scientists have invented a machine that can tell the difference between all of Keane's non single tracks. Due to the apparent impossibility of this, many are calling for them to be burnt as witches.
- Tom Chaplin isn't a real chaplin. He is a real Tom Tom satellite navigation system, though.
- Somewhere Only We Know was really ace, mind.
