Spinning Around

Robyn - Robyn
Finally! Review soon.


Darke Horse - Text Me Back
Ace new old metal (metal!!) from Sheffield. Includes a diss-tastic McFly reference. We’ll be writing about this band at some point, they’re very good.


DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

- Boom! Shake The Room
Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell records, and nor does he to get on our playlist. Actually features some priceless lines, this: “I see the one I wanna sic come here cutie/I flip 'em around and then I work that booty” - that’s what Justin really means when he talks about rocking your body.


Dragonette - Take It Like A Man
At the age of 15, hip young gunslinger wrote a letter to the NME about wanting to hug the chorus of ‘Hard To Explain’ by The Strokes. This makes us want to do the same. The hugging, not the writing letters to NME.


Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough
Marginally better than that ‘Underdogs’ tripe, mainly due to the involvement of Nina from the Cardigans and her lovely voice.


*NSYNC - Pop
The second blast from our slightly-less-distant past. This is BRILLIANT, and will one day be seen as a very important pop song.


Ghosts - Stay The Night
The fashion police will lock us up and throw away the key, but this Feeling-meets-Guillemots stomp never fails to incite toe tapping with its bouncy melodiousness. What better way to usher in spring than with lightweight guitar pop?
