Ricky Wilson’s tiny little mind is hurting today. It turns out Kaiser Chiefs infant-school anthem Ruby has been overlooked for a Brit award.

The band had made the shortlist for the Best Single prize but, in an act that has reaffirmed hecklerspray’s faith in democracy, Ruby did not make it into the final five, all thanks to a vote amongst the Great British public.

The Hoosiers, Mark Ronson, Mika, Take That and Leona Lewis will all be battling it out in Kaiser Chief's absence - meanwhile the band be sitting around listening to I Predict A Riot and trying to rearrange the chords in a not too dissimilar order, whilst deciding whether "na na na na na" or perhaps "ah ah ah ah ah" suits the new song they’ve just created before repeating the process eleven times, having the gall to call it an album, then wondering why the entirety of healthy-minded humans, as well as the people behind the Brit awards, disregard it as a total waste of theirs and our own existence.
