Tiding you over

* Domino Rally posts imperial Dexys and, oh, some other song that only real losers would take up as inspiration for their own ideas

* You Ain't No Picasso sources new Colin Meloy solo material and his recent KEXP solo session

* Bald, angry man with acoustic Hamell On Trial has a new album out next month and songs from it to share

* The Of Mirror Eye, a title we've never understood, lauds the Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs

* Clap Clap Blog and Popmatters take on the journos

* the blog we're never quite sure whether it's called M3 Online or Good Weather For Air Strike has the top 65 videos of 2005 (when it starts working again)

* The Art Of Noise A-Z Of Music gets to H

* Quite a few have this on various hosts, but Mr Red Penguin finds proper room for Arctic Aloud

* And very much finally, Period Pains - Spice Girls (Who Do You Think You Are?) Curiously, the singer has since performed a stylistic about turn and is in Pure Reason Revolution.
