*insert obligatory, sorry I'll post here more often comment*
Well dears, lets go through some of my favourite songs doing the rounds on radio at the mo....

Girls Aloud: Love Machine
Oh my! This is so so good. Think McFly, Jet and Girls Aloud stuck in the master pop producer Xenomania's cauldron of pop genius and you're close to the aceness of this track. The lyrics are kooky and fun and the track feels a million times more fun that pretty much everything else on the radio. *heart* it!

Annie: Chewing Gum
Every one on popjustice loves it and I can see why, it took me a few listens but this fun little electro-y piece of Richard X driven pop is lovey. I love the quirky "girl talking to her self about gum chewing habits" lyrics and the backing track clicks and whirrs in all the right places. Luffely.

The 411: Dumb
Hmmm. It sounds better in the shampoo ad but there is still lots to like in this song, namely the backing track which rattles along and is apprioately funky, the chorus is hooky as a very hooky thing but some very trite lyrics and bland vocals let the song down. Still exetremely catchy though and it's slowly taking over my radio so watch for it...

V: Hip to Hip
I know it's been around for ages and ages but radio in Ireland (namely one "yoof" station here) has only picked up on this now, and I love it. I'm very anti boyband mainly because they're nearly all boring etc etc but this is catchy and fun and makes me think that the hype on V might for a change be justified.

and finally honourable mention to one of my fave albums of the moment, namely Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope which I'm convinced is an absolutely classic and is definitely a ringer for my 5 fave albums...ever!! Go seek a copy in "all good record stores."
That's all for now kids, let's hope I get the discipline to write on this more often.
