This week's hitses! It is getting rly difficult to remember which I have or haven't done. Is this REALLY the first appearance for that Twang record? Everyhit seems to agree with me about this week's though.

[Poll #993229]

Last week's was a record-breaker for ticks, I hope some of the tickers will stick around.

I am HAPPY TO HATE. Except I like the music on it quite a lot but the lyrics are so offputting.

Aren't they just too boring to bother with? 'Ooh we have a slight Arctic Monkeys connection and sound like them toned down for your dad, the trick being that he already likes the Monkeys!'

Are they the first post-Monkeys band?

I don't get any of the above references (or the ArcticPulp one below). It sounds like Duran Duran to me (OK, maybe not the lead vocal in the verses, but everything else does). Or, for a more recent reference point, Young Love.

A marginal tick, I think.
