This week's post ...

Funeral For A Friend
Your History Is Mine: 2002-2009
new album 12 October
Gosh is it really seven years ... don't it fly. FFAF have released an essential collection here with sixteen of their biggest songs including 'Juneau', 'Streetcar', 'She Drove Me To Daytime Teleision', 'Escape Artists Never Die' ... a fine gathering from one of South Wales most successful bands.

Mr Hudson
Straight No Chaser
new album 19 October
Looking good for the Hud ... Supernova hit number two while this week 'White Lies' is straight in at 20. Equally reassuring for the young Ben Hudson is the adulation heeped on from sources like Kanye and Jay-z, recommendations that seem to carry
great weight. Kid Cudi makes a sterling performance on the short sharp sweet 2'40" 'Everything Is Broken', more fine trax like 'Anyone But Him', 'Stiff Upper Lip' and 'Time' should make this a top five album.

Mumford & Sons
Winter Winds

With Mumford & Sons debut 'Little Lion Man' arriving inside the top thirty, here's another fine track from their debut album. The accoustic based 'Winter Wind' with its wry lyrics and top vocal doesn't disappoint ... very endearing, a certainty to grow

Pearl Jam
Get Some
new single 9 November
Disappointing that a single as great as 'The Fixer' should miss completely but here's another chance for the grunge legends Pearl jam to crack the top forty in 2009. New single 'Get Some' is equally forceful, a sharp three minute gem of a track with a simple ideology akin to 'Fix It' here comes 'Get Some'. Top ten if any singles chart justice remains.

Wolfmother
New Moon Rising - Remixes new single 19 October

Four superb remixes here include the 'Riton Club Rub', the 'Yacht Remix', the Fontan Version and our fave, the 'Riton Vocal Rub' in an exciting electro stylee with wizz bangs here there and everywhere ... 'New Moon Rising' is Wolfmother's great comeback rocker now spruced up with electro dance variety... very nice.

This week's Top 40 ...

Top 40 Sun 11 Oct 09

Taio Cruz is toppled after three weeks by fellow MOBO Chipmunk, straight to the top with 'Oopsy Daisy' which beat off the challenge from The Saturdays who get a second successive number two following the runner-up peak reached by their Comic Relief version of Depeche Mode's 'Just Can't Get Enough' back in March.

In America, after 26 weeks it's the Black Eyed Pea's no more.... Congratulations to former medical student 25 year old Londoner, Hounslow boy Jay Sean who's become the first British Urban act to top the US chart with 'Down'.

Whitney Houston's comeback 'Million Dollar Bill' enters at 12 and Mumford & Sons brilliant 'Little Lion Man' in at 24 make up the new entries, while three re-entries see the return of Jason Mraz 'I'm Yours', Lady GaGa's 'Paparazzi' and Daniel Merriweather's 'Red'.

4 new entries & 3 re-entries – 6 up, 24 down, 3 non-movers

Breaking news that Prime Minister Gordon Brown wants to sell £16 billion assets to help pay the £170 billion national debt he's accumalated. Germany is very interested in buying the British Army. Boom Boom. That used to be a joke ...

A report by the Centre for Economic & Business Research suggests that it will be years before interest rates rise in Britain with 0.5% remaining until 2011 and it will be 2014 before interest rates reach 2%. The CEBR also expects the £1 to soon be worth less than one Euro ... so that's it for Sterling then.

The Ministry Of Defence monthly journal Defence Focus reports some Afghan troops being trained to take on the Taliban need to be shown how to turn taps and use a light switch.

YouTube has reached a new milestone of daily viewings ... one billion. That's one thousand million - aka 1,000,000,000 videos downloaded from YouTube each day!

Marge Simpson gets her kit off for November's Playboy, twenty years since the family left Tracy Ullman in obscurity.

Shame on fashion giant Ralph Lauren ... retouching a photo of 23 year old model Filippa Hamilton to make her head appear bigger than her tummy.

Is this a world sales record? Jay-Z sold out his 4 November 2009, London Alexandra Palace gig in ... 15 seconds!!

What does Katy Perry see in big knob Russel Brand?

One hundred and eighty thousand student loans have yet to be paid...

Pamela Anderson bankrupt? Well the dear old Daily Star reports that after a £5 million renovation of her Malibu home the Baywatch star allegedly owes £690,000 and has only £2,300 in her bank account. What happens next ... well surely there's a great idea for a new reality TV show based on the movie Indecent Proposal. Or will the Daily Star be apologising and correcting three fictional stories they published about Sheryl Gascoigne on Saturday.
