Heavy Rotation...

What's had us swinging the walkman phone around with glee this week?

Guillemots - Annie, Let’s Not Wait
The kind of song you’d want to run away with, if it were by any means socially acceptable to do so. CD2 features a version of Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’, which is true to the original in every sense and not one of these “ooh let’s make a pop song slow to reveal its true meaning” pieces of bollocks that you normally get off the live lounge.

Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High
We don’t like Fall Out Boy very much but we absolutely love their new album. It is full of great songs. Also contains at least one type of horn, and a song in the boyband “vein”.

The Killers - Sam’s Town
We bought this on the “three good singles” rule and we’re not disappointed. Bling (Confessions of a King) should have been painfully executed at birth, though.

The Enemy - It’s Not OK
This song has a misleading title - it is actually very OK. Nothing more though. “Biggish” chorus.

Pendulum - Hold Your Colour (LP)
Quite why we don’t know, but we’ve been hit recently by an uncontrollable urge to PUT OUR FUCKING HANDS IN THE AIR. A daily dose of completely inappropriate drum n’ bass should be made compulsory.

Robyn - The Rakamonie EP
Please. Release. The. Album. Soon.

12”/80s/POP
We could list all the great tunes on this, but the tracklisting is readily available elsewhere. Best served in small portions, like the nibbly bits at an eighties fondue party.
