Some Things For The Weekend

Spin these tunes tonight/tomorrow/Sunday if you're into that sort of thing and you are sure to create some sort of mayhem (NB. not an actual guarantee).

Girls Aloud - Sexy! No, No, No…
Despite Rav Singh’s best efforts, Girls Aloud refuse to split up and instead get on with the business of releasing more nonsensical-but-amazing ravepop anthems like this. You can read a little bit more about the new single here.

M.I.A. - Boyz
RELEASE THE FUCKING ALBUM WOMAN.

Architecture In Helsinki - Heart It Races
Surprisingly good summer tune from a terribly-named band. At first it sounds like they’ve pulled the old ’WE are SO ObScure AnD ’AvanT garDe’ LOLOL’ trick of throwing a microphone around a kitchen and shouting a lot, but what they’ve actually done is craft a nice bit of upbeat mayhem featuring steel drums and lots of sunshine. Clever.

Nicole Sherwingerzingeringer - Whatever You Like
Ridiculously bad and self-important shite from PCD’s very own Beyonce (ie. the one who thinks she’s ‘The Star Of The Fucking Show’). From all the noise and bluster, you’d think something important was actually happening. SHUT UP YOU BORING WOMAN. This still shits on anything ‘Fergie’ has done, though.

Timbaland - The Way I Are
Almost too good, and nearly a replacement for our lost summer.

Jojo - Beautiful Girls
Some bloke has brought this song out, but ultimately, he isn’t Jojo. Jojo on the other hand, IS Jojo, which makes this entirely-amazing, ‘Stand By Me’-sampling pop number a sure-fire hit. Coming soon to mobile phones at the back of a bus near you, this gets the award for 2007’s most-inappropriate vocal hook - “Suicidal, SUICIDAL!” - and brings Dame Jo of Jo’s ‘good songs’ tally up to an impressive three. She’s still got a fucking HUGE head, FYI.

Kate Nash - Foundations
Set to topple umbrella-wielding lunatic Rihanna from the number one spot this Sunday, more brilliant tunes like this and we will finally be able to put the Kate Nash debate to bed once and for all, as long as she doesn’t pull any more shit like ‘Caroline Is A Victim’ on us.
