Hello poptimists, I've barely listened to music for the past month and have very very little to do for the next week and a half other than fear ants, so what have I missed? Are there any great tunes, new or old, I should be aware of? I feel the need for new music in my life. I have slsk and I'm not afraid to use it.

I did watch MTVFlux this mornign to help, but they kept playing Mika so I reverted to On The Buses.

Get the new Armand Van Helden stuff, that's pretty cool. Amerie's single is definitely worth a punt, and 'My Moon My Man' by Feist (http://www.listentofeist.com/) is totally ace. Even if she is indier than a B&S fan in a polka dot dress.

Actually, they played You Don't Know Me on the telly today - instant flashback to college, and another record that I'm not sure whether it's good but I'd forgotten or good because it reminds me of a summer or two. I get that a lot with AVH.

The rest of the new Feist album however is k-boring :(

I am really enjoying the Spirit Catcher (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Night-Vision-Spirit-Catcher/dp/B000MM1E92) CD. Funky electro house, sounds a bit like Daft Punk with all the corners knocked off and the rough edges smoothed over. Which on paper is a terrible idea but the reality is mostly great.

All the new M.I.A. stuff is very good.

Boogie Luv (featuring the two better looking girls from Big Brovaz) have a new single out, Dizzee Rascal - 'Sirens', erm the tune from the Becks 'Vier' ad, Just Jack's 'Glory Days' and Beyonce and Shakira's 'Beautiful Liar' remix on Kiss FM. I'll be listening to CSS soon :)

And got very confused for a second. Anyway, is now the time to start Getting Dizzee Rascal? Now that Kano's referencing Jeremy Kyle and Loose Women.

Um, I think you should tell people not to click that in work.

I just saw that when replying to a comment here and for about a minute all I could think was 'MOMUS'. I never believed in hypnosis before...

Bah, can't edit my comment now.

new Dizz single is bad though. Haven't heard the album but someone who has says it's OK, the single is the only "rock urgh" moment thankfully.

don't know your taste so hard to say, innit?

i am v. much enjoying the leaked new Roisin Murphy single (linked here a couple days ago); a few songs off the Siobhan Donaghy album; "Song 4 Mutya"; the Blonde Redhead album (indie alert);

Avoid Patrick Wolf, which is much talked about but mostly rub; !!!'s "Myth Takes" is much more interesting.

I downloaded The Libertine a couple of years ago after a 'Oh, they're playing good music in Topshop' moment. Listened to it again recently and wondered what all those queues were for. Poor the indie crumpet.

Cor, Popjustice just tipped off about this: Alphabeat (http://www.alphabeat.dk/). 'Fascination' sounds like Modern Love by Bowie but MORE FUN! I love it!
