Oh b0ll0cks, I thought Hadouken was something else - must go back and untick.

Ronson/Allen - vast improvement on KC version, my attitude toward M.R. has softened since Glasto where I could hear the New Bands stage from my tent & it was quite pleasant listening. TICK

Fergie - "I'm not gonna miss you, like a child misses it's blanket." TICK

Gwen - reasonable effort tho not as good as Sweet Escape. TICK

Timbaland - been spectacularly unbothered considering his awesomeness last year. I own the album and have listened to it 0.3 times. NO TICK

Not heard the rest.

Hadou Ken vs Afro Ken?

I never thought I'd say this but COME BACK KAISERS ALL IS FORGIVEN.

God I hope "crap 80s soulboy covers" aren't the new "sensitive indie covers".

The Coldplay cover is the best one I've heard, very KPM allstars...

Have you heard Ronson's cover of 'Toxic'? You don't want to. Really don't want to.

Is this the same version as was on Lily's mixtape (literally YEARS ago) or has it been reworked for the Ronson album? The track sounded fine to me in the context of the mixtape anyway.

I saw the video for this the other day. This Ronson chap is worse than bloke who did that song about the eighties.
