The Midweek Chart

1) Amy Winehouse - You’re Wondering Now
Sunkissed gospel ska b-side to Amy‘s new single, which sees our beehived hero asking herself “what to do / now you know this is the end” and “how you will pay / for the way you misbehaved” over jaunty skiffle type business. Get well soon you daft bat.

2) Grace - Stand Still
The chorus of this song, despite being absolute bollocks and patently terrible advice, is one of those moments when shoegazing indie grows some bollocks, starts to mean something and makes it feel like the entire fucking universe is flowing out of the speakers and into your heart. Best played several times very loud.

3) Sugababes - About You Now
This is seriously fucking good, the best ‘babes single for a long time, and a clear reminder that the sentiments echoed in the lyrics (basically, “yeah, so, sorry for messing you around, but I’ve realised I actually like you so if it’s okay with you can we get back together or something”) only ever work when spoken from the mouths of attractive young women.

4) Girls Aloud - Sexy! No No No
Hearing the amazing new Sugababes single has not dampened our appetite for this any; nor has seeing the video, which features big flowing dresses, ridiculous eye make up and Nicola looking more beautiful than every other woman on the planet combined.

5) MIA - Kala
Still.

6) Keys Money Lipstick - 1st Birthday Mix
To celebrate their first anniversary, the lovely people from Keys Money Lipstick have put together a mix which you can download at their MySpace. Featuring gunslinger favourites MIA, Feist, and the killer CSS remix of The Cribs ‘Men’s Needs’ (plus loads more), it should give you some idea as to how amazing the KML night itself actually is.
