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??

Gym Class Heroes - not as good as the supertramp one.

Elvis - still good. TICK

Hard Fi - the kerfuffle about their cover art is quite amusing. Mixed opinions on the song itself: good intro but boring verse, ok chorus. His eyebrows scare me. Marginal non tick as I couldn't be bothered to listen through to the end, though it's the best thing I've heard them do.

Pigeon Detectives - I'm trying to search for something redeeming about this. It's quite fast? If the guitars, bass and vocals were taken away that would definitely be some drums playing, over which a better song could be written? Gaaaaah make it stop.

Fiddy Pee - I quite like this! Fiddy's rapping is still a bit off the boil but the backing sounds like an old-school Amiga game and that's always good. Justin is wasted on the chorus though: "tired of technology"? Sort it out man! Marginal TICK.

Foos - good intro and reasonable build-up. Doesn't really grab me though. Marginal non-tick.

Tunstall - Yeah this is alright. Can't expand more as I have to leave work in a second to let the plumber in. TICK.

Ben's Brother - rub piano balladry. Come back Keane all is forgiven.

Athlete - low expectations, met.

Not the most encouraging week :-(
