Crikey, I almost forgot!

Is it just me or does it seem to anyone else that the Pigeon Detectives are releasing a single a month??

What is Elvis doing in the charts again?

The Fiddy is OK. I predict I will be the only one to tick it though while some indie bobbins will pull ahead, ROLLEYES.

The video for the KT Tunstall is quite fun, the song is v boring as ever.

This is but the first of many Elvis reissues.

They're commemorating the 30th anniversary of his death by re-releasing lots of his singles that didn't get to #1, giving them the once-in-a-lifetime chance to not get to #1 again.

Oh christ. *unticks on principle*

Yeah, and the brainiacs running the campaing released the single on a Thursday so it only had three days worth of sales for it's premier chart (which, as far as I'm concerned, is the only week it will make number one as all the big fans will run out right away and buy it).

The Fiddy might be better if they'd bothered to create a beat rather than held the mic vaguely near an Atari ST loading screen.

how dare you sir. the Atari ST had MIDI support. this is more Amstrad CPC

I have ticked Ayo Technology but it should've come out 2 years ago - the 'Minority Report' pastiche in the video says even before that.
