You might find this slightly immature, but it’s always nice to win a bet, no matter how trivial it is. On June 18, 2009 I posted this article , which I called at the time “a public bet I made with myself”. Basically, in it I’m saying (or joking ?) that Kasabian’s music would fit perfectly in a Guy Ritchie brit-gangsta-movie and guess what, it turns out my prediction was pretty right. In a September 12, 2009 article, NME.com is informing us that the director is indeed very impressed with Kasabian and might just ask them to score a movie for him. I guess, I do know my Guy Ritchies…

First of all, this is not any form of news, it is just a public bet I made with myself. Just for laughs. It’s just that Kasabian’s first single off of West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, by the name of Fire (which contributed to them having the second consecutive charttoper album in UK) would fit perfectly on a Guy Ritchie brit-gangsta movie. Maybe the psychedelic-heist video has a lot to do with it, but the song would surely fit on an action sequence or a parallel montage Ritchie-style. I doubt that there will be any Kasabian on Sherlock Holmes (2009) the up-and-coming flick, starring Robert Downey Jr., but the end of RocknRolla did promise a sequel. Remember ?
