Maccabees
Can You Give It
new single 6 July
The Maccabees latest album 'Wall Of Arms' features this peach of a single due to hit the charts in July. Rather more medium paced at 131bpm 'Can You Give It' is a short and sweet 2' 30" and should please the Mac fans, you can see them on their biggest tour yet throughout September and October.

Noisettes
Wild Young Hearts
sampler - new album
It's a shame great songs like 'Don't Upset The Rhythm' take what can seem an eon to bepicked up by an audience, it encaptures the most frustrating aspect of being a dj, you love it but it's the repeated plays on radio and tv that establishes a song foremost. In the case of 'Don't Upset the Rhythm' - a commercial leading to a number two hit. 'Wild Young Hearts' is packed with superb songs including the lush new Summer single 'Never Forget You', if that's not another top tenner it'll be a travesty. The Noisettes are a superb three piece band - well worthy.

Regina Spektor
Laughing With
new single 15 June
"Laughing with God .... " quite simply stunning, stark piano, haunting vocal - quite brilliant. Former Russian citizen now living in New York Regina's new album 'Far' is due on 22 June. Quite possibly unique.

Something In Construction
Listening Is Easy Sampler
promo album
Packed with top new talent this is an enthralling compilation and Something In Construction are to be congratulated for help create and compiling such a collection. The Rest kick off in a confident strong opener 'Walk On Water', then an immediate superb vocal kicks in with The Gay Blades track, the aesthetic crack of thunder into a little electro dance gem by Air France. Akira The Dongoes sci-fi in the up-beat 'We Are Not Alone', Fol Chen's sexy medium pace jiggler 'Cable TV', the strange headier end of the indie spectrum with Gentleman Auction House 'ABCDEFGraveyard'. Memory Tapes create an intriguing electro/accoustic soundscape on 'Bicycle' and The Silent League return with 'Yours Truly 2095', an uplifting 150bpm pop nugget. The dark 'Distorting a Code' of Brody Dalle's Spinerette, love the bass intro on Hopewell's track 'Stranger' with some anthemic guitar crashing before the song kicks in. The intriguingly named Army Navy strike familiar accoustic guitar based indie tones with 'Silvery Sleds, then there's The Leisure Society's charming 'Give Yourself A Fighting Chance', Everything Now's frantic 'Save A Life With Diet Chocolate Sprite', Delorean's danceflor thumper 'Indio/Deli', another Air France and the unusual combination of Animal Collective vs Frankie Knuckles sampling 'You Got The Love' bassline and keyboards. A quite superb collection of great new music. 11 out of 10

T.I.
Whatever You Like
re-released single
Yes TI is one of the biggest stars of the past couple of years and with Dave Navarro on re-mix duty with some tasty lead guitar ... this former American number
one should smash into the UK charts a second time, maybe reaching the top here too!

This week's Top 40 ...

Top 40 Sun 24 May 09

Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas are eclipsed at the top by 'Bonkers', Dizzee Rascal & Armand Van Helden's awesome new floorfiller

The legendary 'Nils Points' Norway have taught us a lesson or two on Eurovision. While Jade's rather limp Lloyd-Weller ballad 'It's My Turn' crawls in at 25 Norways winner 'Fairytale' by former Russian, Minsk born Alexander Rybak charges in at 10. 'Fairytale' and in fact his entire debut album is written by Rybak himself. So there you go, a singer songwriter wins the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time, with a song inspired by Norwegian folk music, it get's a record points haul of 387 and it's a UK top ten smash the following week. Nils points huh?

Daniel Merriweather, Keri Hilson, Paulo Nutini, Starpilots, the superb Empire Of The Sun and Katy Perry each have a new entry and chart check this ... 120 Top 40 hits so far in 2009 compared to 140 for the same period in 2008 and 160 in 2007

9 new entries – 3 climbers, 27 down, 1 non-mover

Money Go Round
Classic Paul Weller song, general election 1983 .. can't blame the current shambles on that lot, here's the lyrics

Its no good praying to the powers that be
cause they wont shake the roots of the money tree
No good praying to the pristine alters
Waiting for the blessing with holy water
They like the same old wealth in the same old hands
Means the same old people stay old people stay in command
Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
They got it wrapped up tight, they got it safe and sound
Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
As you fall from grace and hit the ground

Too much money in too few places
Only puts a smile on particular faces
Said too much power in not enough hands
Makes me think get rich quick; take all I can
Theyre too busy spending on the means of destruction
To ever spend a penny on some real construction

Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round
They amuse themselves as they fool around
Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
Do like they say, make them vulnerable

No good looking to the empire corners,
Civilization built on slaughter
Carrying hopes and carrying maps
The spinless ones fall in their laps
The brave and the bold are the ones to be fooled
With a diet of lies by the kipling school

Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
But I just cant help being cynical
Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
Do like I say, make me wonderful

Their morals are clean and their clear
They bend your arm and they bend your ear
Said they bend your mind as you talk in circles
Bend over forwards, this wont hurt you
Till theres blood in your lap; blood on your hands
Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round
Come spend a penny, go out with a pound
Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round
As you fall from grace and hit the ground

(on the money-go-round, you wanna get on but it wont slow down)

The need your votes and you know where to send em
Be we dont get the choice of a public referendum
On all the real issues that affect our lives
Like the usa base to which we play midwife
Take a cruise and forget this scene
Said come back later when the slates wiped clean

Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
Born of woman, killed by man
Watch the money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
Do like they pray, make it wonderful

The good and righteous sing their hymns
The crimpoline dresses who have no sins
Christians by day, killers in war
The hypocrites who know what they're fighting for
Killing for peace, freedom and truth
But they're too old to go so they send the youth

Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round
I dont think he was an astronaut
Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round
I must insist - he was a socialist!

Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
They got it wrapped up tight, they got it safe and sound
Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
As you fall from grace and hit the ground
