Oh goodness, aren't there a lot of miserable boys in the chart this week?

Fall Out Boy surprisingly good, I thought (that's two highly tickable singles in a row - I may have to give the album a go).

Klaxongs get a tick mainly for the Cut Copy remix, despite my instinctive annoyance at the title (lazy cred-by-association attempt AND what's more it's the book that destroyed my capacity to enjoy any novel ever again). If Judge Pop ever gets around to bringing the Klaxongs before a jury of their peers, I may vote to acquit. Not a fan, but they're not the worst new band around by a long shot.

Judge Pop is a busy man but rest assured the Klaxons are on the Mega City Pop Most Wanted List.

Do. The FOB album is really very good. So's their previous one. In fact, so's the first one; I think Cork Tree/Infinity are tied for them. I'm far too keen on them to be rational, but they're a great band alltold, and on Infinity they strike a nice balance between "being a punk band" and "being a pop band". MMRS is, at its heart, a big pop song.
