So tonight I saw Beck at the Islington Academy. 

It was very hot, but very good.  And given I know hardly any Beck songs I was a bit dubious.

Songs I knew were The Devil’s haircut and new single E-pro.   The rest was mainly stuff of the new album but it was all good!   

From tonight’s TOTP

This week’s big releases…

       and it’s all about the
electro.

 

Tipped by the
music industry as the number 1 act to watch this year, The Bravery give us their debut single Honest Mistake.  Think a more New Order-y version of the
Killers and you’re not far off.  This indie disco stonker will be getting
you on the dancefloor of your local club in no time at all.

And from the cool to what we might expect to be the downright dull. The Stereophonics are back. 
Unexpectedly casting aside the horror of the last two albums, they’ve leapt on
the current trends and brought us the 80s synthesised sound of Dakota. It’s this week’s tune
you’ll hate to love.

Ms Spears is the second best female this week.  The
video for Do Somethin’ sees her
riding high with a flying car, pink guitar and a girly rock band. It’s a dirty, sleazy track, but it’s sure as
hell fun to dance and to do your best trailer trash Britney impression to.

Top prizes, this week however, go to our favourite Norwegian pop princess, Annie.  She’s back
with Heartbeat, the 2nd single from the delightful Anniemal.  This
infectious piece of detached electro disco happily bounces along, and her curiously endearing, accent gives it that
added X factor.
