Back to School

Pet Sounds

The new Name The Pet single is a bouncy pop choon more viral than YouTube embeds, while the promo admirably promotes the healthy benefits of physical exercise, although the sheer cheerleader chic of it makes it slightly dubious safety for work.



December is usually tragic in terms of PV updates, but hawk-eyed followers can expect a humongous gig review compendium, a long linkdump and the usual end-of-year lists before 2010 hits!

Pulling Power

The first time we played Bombay Bicycle Club's debut album 'I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose' our initial reaction was of minor deflation, but it's a record which has built and built in our hearts as something treasurable. Central to the record's attraction is the other-wordly charms of 'Magnet', a song you can really get attached to, which is due for release in single format next month.



The BBC boys are on tour to support the release, and we definitely recommend the live experience.

Have Faith

The Dot-to-Dot review is undeniably late, but will be imminent. In the meantime, Katie Stelmanis supplies Single Of The Week with 'Believe Me' (out to buy on June 22 but the mp3 can be downloaded from NME), coming on like an electropop Frida Hyvonen to credible effect.



Witches nice.

Pleasing Friction

While Parallax View unscrambles its brains sufficiently to write up a review of Bristol Dot-to-Dot, please entertain yourselves by watching the promo for 'Young Adult Friction' the highlight of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart's set at The Cooler.



Single Of The Week, and you'd be a numbskull to disagree...
