For example, when standing at the foot of The Great Wall of China, you can't help but think that's amazing. Watching a school of piranhas turn a fully grown cow from something to nothing is one of natures most amazing sites. What about the Giza Pyramid Complex? That's pretty amazing. How about the old Anna Kournikova sports bra billboards? You couldn't help but stop and stare in amazement at those plastered everywhere.
However, if there's one thing that amazes me more than Anna Kournikova in a sports bra getting chased along The Great Wall of China on her way to the Pyramids by a school of piranhas, it's that Wolfmother have only released two albums in nine years of performing together. That is amazing.
Yes, I understand that there has been trouble within the group with band members coming and going quicker than Dale Winton sounds his beeper on Supermarket Sweep. Even still, Two albums in nine years? Surely they can do better than that.
I'm a big Wolfmother fan, and the news that Andrew Stockdale is back with a new cast and ready to blow the cobwebs off his instrument and start strumming, fills me with nothing be happiness. The brand new album, 'Cosmic Egg', is out today - and I for one, can't wait. I'll be looking into it further on in Wednesday's helping of 'Filling the Airwaves'.
Now, just like listening to Sara Cox on the radio comes complete with a box of paracetamol, new albums come complete with new tours. And this one is no different. They kick off in Paris on Wednesday and touch down in London Town on the 21st to play Elephant & Castle's Coronet club.
Let's just pray all the madness has been lost and forgotten. Hopefully Stockdale has assembled a group in which live up to the Wolfmother name, and record more than two more albums before 2018.
