Some Things For The Weekend

Get this lot on your mp3 player, hook it up to some speakers, TURN IT UP LOUD, and you will probably have sex with every person in the room (NB. Don't try this round at your mum's house).

Foals - Hummer

We really cannot get enough of this.

Bloc Party - Flux
This is quite good, and very danceable, but Kele and Co. might want to think about whether positioning themselves somewhere between Fischerspooner and The Bravery’s ’Honest Mistake’ is their wisest plan of action ‘going forward’.

Remi Nicole - Go Mr. Sunshine (Punks Jump Up Remix)
In which faintly irritating Nash/Allen amalgam Nicole gets her breakthrough tune remixed into arse-shaking reggaerave glory by the Dance To Our Disco duo. Tight and bouncy, like an over-inflated football.

All of The Real Heat’s tunes.
They are basically perfect.

The Ting Tings - Fruit Machine
Ditto.

The Duloks - (I’m Gonna Follow) Your Star Trail
Listen carefully to this and it sounds like a lot of shouting with some drums thrown in. Which is kind of what it is, albeit wildly addictive shouting and drumming, with some lovely keyboard noises in the background. Turn this record up really loud and it sounds like dancing under a waterfall made of stars.

Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts
Still not rubbish, this one is ‘a grower’. The whole ‘Chungking as done by a burlesque kickline’ thing is still working. The “woo” bit is fun. You either like it or you do not.

Britney Spears - Blackout (LP)
Totally and unexpectedly amazing.

Digitalism - Idealistic
“I have an idea” scream Digitalism. Clearly that idea was to make a properly fierce bastard of a club track, which goes off in about 43 different directions before ending in precisely the same way as it started. Squelchy and acidic, like a rotten lemon.


HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!
