Cushioned excitement

Silverchair have returned to the studio, with the intention of breaking a record for the most Australian number one albums, although NME reports the record is currently shared between Midnight Oil and Cold Chisel - so, surely, the best Silverchair could be doing is trying to equal the record rather than break it?

Still, it sounds, uh, thrilling:

[W]hen recording the new album songwriter Daniel Johns reportedly wrote "more than 20 songs" about insomnia.

Then he decided to try Horlicks, which worked.

He could try listening to his wife's new single...

Uh, what? Theyre a bit behind/misinformed. They broke the record upon its release in Australia (in April) with 5 #1 albums.

But even so, that's not breaking the record. It does make sense, though - the one they're recording now *will* break the record, it's just the NME forgot to mention they currently were joint holders.

Hi. I cant see the article, but if these dates on this page are correct then NME has made a very odd and very wrong article. Silverchair's album "Young Modern" was released in Australia in March or April 2007 and after that moment they became the only Aussie band to have 5 #1 albums. They already broke that record months ago. Theyre not returning to the studio or recording an album now, theyre in the middle of a big arse tour.
