This week's post ...

The Fray
Heartless
new single 28 September
There was a time when rcok covering r'n'b was an unusual event, nowadays with Live Lounge and sessions in so many radio, tv and newspaper websites it's
become rather more the norm. The extra special songs stand out in this light especially well and even so it does come as quite a surprise to hear The Frays soft-ish accoustic treatment of Kanye West 'Heartless' with such bite, equally surprising is the quality of his lyrics, they're right in it - what a superb tune. This could be a massive selling genre crossing number one, it's brilliant!

Just Jack
The Day I Died
new single 17 August
Yep this is a sharp little song
"The day I died was the best day of my life .." drenched in an ironic vocal with an edgy pop feel which could either go mega or get lost in the crowd ... not sure which but I like the production and the song itself is rather different so thumbs up from me.

The Shallow Call
I Wanted You More Than You Wanted Me

new single 31 August
Unrequited love alas, a short sharp 2 minute 30 second listen, uptempo drum beat intro to hook in, yeah these guys have potential, good tune.

This week's Top 40 ...

Top 40 Sun 2 Aug 09

Just preparing for their U2 US support slots, Black Eyed Peas make it a straight sixteen weeks at the top in the USA with eleven for 'Boom Boom Pow' plus another five for 'I Gotta Feeling' and now they've replicated that brace of number ones here.

New entries from 'Captain Jack' John Barrowman ( Barrowman's got big lungs but next to Barry Manilows' original, very poor), Flo Rida & Nelly Furtado, Little Boots and Sub Focus.

Interesting that it's taken 26 weeks but King Of Leon have finally broken into the Billboard Top Ten with 'Use Somebody'.. what a superb song.

5 new entries & 1 re-entry – 8 up, 22 down, 4 non-movers

What's Occurring...
Currently filming their final series for televisual broadcast early in 2010 'Gavin & Stacy'
have just spent an enjoyable day taking over Llandaf North's tantalisingly good Five Star Fish Bar, I bet Salty's rueing the day.

Ah chip shops ... our three favourites along with The Five Star Fish Bar we make a detour to Toff's in London's Muswell Hill and the Chinese chippy on Peniston Road near Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium ... lovely

Not quite what you'd expect in a stately home eh what what? Well someone in BBC1's 'Country File' sound team had a laugh while filming Julia Bradbury & Matt Baker at Belvoir Castle using an Eminem instrumental as an underlay...

Barfly? W'happen?
Friday 24th July 2009 - They've been refurbed no doubt and just to clear up any confusion following another enquiry as to whether we'd be at The Barfly tonight? No is the answer. The source of the queries seems to be a listing at barflycub.com which has yet to be deleted from their website (well give them a chance - they're still showing SkinnyGene ten months after that ended). This listing is incorrect and in fact has been incorrect (in other ways) for two years. So Dear Reader, please note from us we are no longer at Cardiff Barfly.
