Possibly best TV show ever? After Mock The Week obv.

No Age: My new love this week. Love their two albums, and just ordered the t-shirt...I'm such a hipster.
In-depth reviews of albums to follow soon.

Glasvegas on Graham Norton Uncut. Errrr whut? I could take James Allan going on Buzzcocks, but this just too weird tbh

Twisted Wheel: new Manc/Oldham band, current supporting Oasis on tour. Not too sure what to make of them being honest. The tracks I heard on their MySpace are fairly average, stuff you'd expect to hear from the local chavvy band who've just discovered The Clash. But their new single "Lucy The Castle" is pretty catchy, and miles better than their other stuff. It may be because the video has been played about 972840 on the music channels over the last week or two, but still check 'em out.

Computers and Blues

You know something is up in life when you start enjoying Snow Patrol.
Seriously, Q is playing the top 10 Snow Patrol songs, and being honest, they're all good. That's a sentence I never thought I'd say/type.

In a complete contrast, I've been pretty obsessed with The Streets today. Wasn't really into good music for the first two albums, and also hated rap in every shape and form. How unenlightened I was. But after listening to most of them, it's quite obvious that Mike Skinner is a genius.
