Some Things For The Weekend

Earn yourself some ‘cool points’ by whacking these on the stereo this w/e.

The Clik Clik - My Dunks
In which rather good new band The CCs (as no one is calling them) take three of our greatest loves - sarcasm, trainers and indiepopelectrodance - and turn them into a riot of a song in the ‘where the fuck did that come from?’ mould. Apparently they’ve got even more ‘up their sleeve’ (ie. on a computer somewhere).

Lethal Bizzle - Pow
Apparently there is a new form of music knocking about called ‘grime’, of which this track is said to be a fierce (us neither) example. It is early days for the genre but if things stay this exciting it could be brilliant. We will keep you posted on any developments in this new and exciting field of music.

Partyshank - Gary
You’re students for a reason. This isn’t it.

The Real Heat - Hearts Not Innit
We did an email interview with The Real Heat for something else last week, and they still haven’t sent their answers back. Probably because they are too busy being the country’s edgiest and best new girl group. They write this filth themselves, FYI.

Aly and AJ - Potential Breakup Song
We meant to mention this ages ago and can’t be bothered checking to see if we did or not so there you go. This is an amazing pop single. The rest of their stuff is a bit Kelly Clarkson but will probably suit people who enjoyed Pink’s ‘Missundazsszzstood’ just fine.

Kathy Brown vs. Lo Fi Fnk - Change Channel And Turn Me On
Many thanks to Ian from Clique for hooking us up with this track after we ran in his direction the other night, demanding to know what it was. Apparently it is available on a Kitsuné Mashup CD, although “the other tracks aren’t worth bothering with really”. This one is though. This one is amazing.

Darlings of the Splitscreen - Touched By Telepathy (Modernaire remix)
No idea what the original sounds like but if it’s as good as this remix, which, and let’s not judge something before we’ve actually heard it, it probably isn’t, it must be fucking great.
