More Girls Aloud Fans Read Dead Kenny Than Simon Reynolds: OFFICIAL!

Difficult to credit it, admittedly, but Parallax View was officially the 22nd best-read British blog last week according to publicly available counter stats. Dead Kenny never realised his peers were struggling so badly! But seriously, this is of course mainly due to 90% of our readers coming here trying to look up Cheryl Tweedy's silver micro-skirt rather than hang on every word of our album reviews, and by way of thanks it seems only right and proper to deliver those Girls Aloud pictures from Arena March 2005 in full (dubious work safety). Meanwhile, Dead Kenny has instructed his PA to field all calls from broadsheet hacks seeking a profile, and will be embargoing all awards ceremonies for fear of getting a tongue sandwich from David Walliams.

It's still sinking in just how seriously ill Edwyn Collins currently is, and we wish him all the best for a full recovery. Collins fell ill on Sunday, just two days after being in gloriously grumpy form on 6Music's Roundtable.

Also:

Editors interviewed by Drowned in Sound. 'We're a bit like The Monkees...but without being twats'.

Alt-country pioneers The Jayhawks apparently call it quits.

Her first new album in 12 years still isn't with us yet but The Kate Bush backlash is already in full swing.

Robot Wisdom is Jorn again.

Album reviews will resume following this brief linkdump.
