In bed tomorrow: 27/8

Quick one today, as we're laid up with a bad stomach bug. This is the sort of commitment that'll get those BT/DMA voters going, we tell you. So top singles are the return of cynical Brummie nuts Misty's Big Adventure with double-A side I Can’t Bring The Time Back/Serious Thing and energetic young scamps Cajun Dance Party's Amylase. Not too sure they're got that much past this, but that's their problem. Slim album pickings, including the Super Furry Animals' slightly below form (which of course is well above most people's top form) Hey Venus!, Blue States' return from indie-dance trio to Andy Dragazis' downtempo mood music favouritism on First Steps Into and a second CD being grafted onto Shearwater's gem Palo Santo. Warning: half the album has been re-recorded.
