This week's post ...

The Firm - Soundtrack
Various Artists
new album 21 September
Well this is an easy CD to review, it's brilliant from start to finish .. personal faves Rene & Angela's 'I'll Be Good' and Gap Band 'Outstanding'. Top notch!!
The Soundtrack to Nick Love’s classic new film. Nick Love (Football Factory, The Business) has remade Allan Clarke’s cult classic film from the perspective of a different character, Dom. Set in 1984, Dom is seduced by the music, the fashion and the charisma of the Firm but quickly realised that he wants no part of the violence. The film is a brilliant coming-of-age film set to a killer soundtrack of music from the era - the real sound of the streets in '84.

Atlas Sound
Walkabout
new single 19 October
An unusually quirky listening experience. Interesting use of sound on the 122bpm 'Walkabout' -
"what do you want to be when you grow up..." with a little bit of luck and some airplay Atlas Sound could make a breakthrough.

Biffy Clyro
The Captain
new single
Superb, another great single from Biffy Clyro .. top ten again I hope!

Codeine Velvet Club
Vanity Kills
new single
There's a little of the Amy Winehouse 'Back In Black' on the atmosphere of Codeine Velvet Club's 117bpm 'Vanity Kills'. Catchy tune with a similar chunky sixties feel ... radio friendly, so a good start and a maybe.

The Dead Weather
I Cut Like A Buffalow
new single
Perhaps not as threatening as Dead Weather's first single, nevertheless there's a mean intent here ... hard to ignore ... a challenging, gruesome, unstable listen. The usual top quality Jack White and friends.

Duck Sauce - Armand Van Helden & A-Trak
aNYway
new single 26 October
Floorfilling Armand Van Helden combines with New Yorker A-Trak to form Duck Sauce and deliver another fine dance floor gem. The 127bpm 'aNYway' should do the business with it's catchy chorus and quality mixes. Top Ten.

Lady GaGa
LoveGame
new single 21 September
Another great track from GaGa's 'Fame' album ... a fourth straight hit, and with another quality set of mixes surely another top tenner.

LMFAO
I'm In Miami Bitch
new single 28 September
An unusual pairing of uncle and nephew, RedFoo and Blu Sky aka LMFAO. These guys have been remixing the likes of Katy Perry, Fergie and Kanye West and release their own 128bpm edgy dance floor pounding 'I'm In Miami Bitch' with UK regional varieties - Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester etc - available on download. For such a novel idea, even more airplay should be available if there's a mix with 'chick' substituted for 'bitch' ala Guetta & Akon. Top track.

This week's Top 40 ...

Top 40 Sun 20 Sep 09

Taio Cruz is the latest of eleven chart-toppers currently listed in the new chart.

Great Stuff..
It's not what you know, it's what you know about who you know....

Not typecast is he? Vinny Jones is heading into American TV with two new roles, as a hardman and as a drama comedy hitman.

Rolls Royce Ghosts are on sale now at £193,000 the most dynamically interesting drive of any Rolls - it'll go from 0 to 60mph in 4.7 seconds.

Following the backlash over Arlene Phillips exit from 'Strictly' and 92 year old Vera Lynn topping the album chart, the BEEB has promised us more older women - Director General Mark Thompson says "the industry needs to be reminded of the value of highly experienced presenters and performers".

Talking of experienced presenters, Mastermind host John Humphries has described his job as 'money for old rope' at an after dinner speech where he was paid £10,000 - boy he's gonna be popular.

Man City's 1968 League winning Mike Summerbee says "It's like '68 again, we're on the verge of something really big!"...... Man United 4 Man City 3 :- free transfer Michael Owen scored, £47 million Carlos Tevez didn't.... ouch!

It's official 9 out of 10 rats prefer 'Rub on Viagra' - Researchers at New York's Yeshiva University plan to test it on humans but it should be ten years before it reaches shops.

Labours exam watchdog Ofqual is being ridiculed after banning the word error - consultants have been paid £3,000 to come up with a script of alternative words to use when speaking about reliability to avoid undermining public confidence.

Handwriting can reveal whether someone is lying, a study in the Journal Of Applied Cognitive has found that liars press harder on the paper and make longer strokes and taller letters.

Well I never ... Oasis only million selling single was not a chart-topper. 'Wonderwall' sold 1,015,000 to reach number two at Christmas 1995 and live permanently in the sales shadow of Michael Jackson's 'Earth Song' which sold overall 25,000 more.

The 24 hours later ... update on the two weekend tabloid gossips below ... Amelle's not left Sugababes - Keisha has and Jade replaces her ... Ronnie Wood has not left Ekaterina - Ron and his young lady have moved into his castle .. so much for the press watchdog.

Amelle has quit Sugababes, smart money's on Jade Ewen to replace her.

Rolling Stone 62 year old Ronnie Wood has quit his 20 year old lover Ekaterina.

No Wogan or Woss
So Chris Evans is the new Breakfast man at Radio 2, presumably Monday to Friday and indications are a three hour programme probably meaning bad news for Sarah Kennedy.
This means that Chris Moyles, born three years after Terry Wogan started on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show will never catch his elderly rival.
What's been the secret of Wogan's success? Well, in this excerpt from his 1981 book 'The Day Job', he makes it sound so simple ..
