Hello again,
It's a bit of an 'intro in brief' this week as I'm in a rush. There's probably more important stuff to mention, but I'm not sure what it is.

With the CNYD (Chicago New York Detroit) club night happening on Friday night we were graced with the presence of two US DJs doing a bit of shopping; Danny Krivit popped in on Friday and picked up the Perseo and Italians Do It Better CDs, while Tevo Howard dropped by to pick up one of his own records (you'd think the record label would send him one, but apparently not) and have a chat about New Order.

If you're going out this week, then check this:

El Diablo's Social Club (Sat 4th Sept, Deaf Institute, 10pm - 4am, £7) sees the return of resident Neil Diablo, now renamed Evil Kneil, after his festival DJ tour over the summer. Expect disco disco-house and house to make you dance.

Hi folks,

Well it's a bit of a bumper week for 7"s this week, and indeed for great indie labels too!

First up, Great Pop Supplement bring us two slabs of Velvets-tinged goodness: our 'Indie Record Of The Week' from Still Corners and the Moe Tucker produced Charles Douglas.

My favourite label at the mo, Captured Tracks, bring us a whole pile of goodies: Gorgeous Felt-esque pop from Minks, ice-cool synth action from Cosmetics, Kraut-infused beats from Soft Moon, and the pick of the bunch the lo-fi sunshine pop of Hanoi Janes.

Piccadilly is fans of both Sub Pop and No Age, so naturally we're very excited about the new No Age single which is available on both 7" and 12" with diffferent B-sides.

Static Caravan give us 60s influenced folk pop from Goodnight Lenin and a couple of top notch psyche-rock instrumentals from Yellow Moon Band.

The debut single from Flash Fiktion is a great blast of energetic pop that reminds me of early Supergrass, there's a mega limited one-sided 7" from The Cribs, a bit of West Coast sunshine is delivered by Domino new boys Chief and the much talked about Ducktails brings us a sun dappled new-psyche treat.

If you want something to move your feet too, then check out the Monarchy 7" which includes a Holy Ghost remix and the Holy Fuck remixes 7". Or maybe some deep soul is more your style? Well check out the Four Mints 7" or how about some kung-fu blaxploitation funk from Big Pimp Jones?

Plenty to choose from there I'm sure you'll agree!

Cheers
Laura

You'll already know the killer opening track from Numero's second "Good God!" collection and the rest is damn fine as well. Essential, and dead limited on vinyl. ROTW in world music also goes to a Light In The Attic offering, the sitar-heavy Gabor Szabo LP - finally on vinyl! the reggae ROTW is the new Roots Manuva 45, and easy listening is Bruce Haack. Other stuff includes Andreya Triana (last week's soul ROTW winner, now on vinyl), Bilal (boy, does this man want to be Prince), Ultramagnetic Foundation LP/CD, Tricky, Big Pimp Jones, DJtzinas, The Four Mints, Lee Mason and the Transatlantics all on 45, another Fela Kuti CD and "Porno Groove II" picture disc.

Right, Match Of The Day is calling again.
