Tidbits




-Franz Ferdinand's third album, called Tonight: Franz Ferdinand will be released January 27. I'm excited. They are a fun band with some truly great songs. The first song, not a single though, from the album that I've heard is Lucid Dreams. I heard it twice on FNX yesterday and it is a tempo-changing romp. I really like it.

-Girls Aloud's new album Out of Control will now be released on November 3, a week sooner than originally planned! I heard a clip of their collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys on Popjustice the other day, and it was good, very good. The song is called The Loving Kind. The album cover is lacking though. I like the outfits and poses but too many words, too busy. The Promise was released to the UK iTunes today. Here's the link for The Loving Kind clip:

-The new Keane album, Perfect Symmetry, is really good. Spiralling, The Lovers are Losing, Better Than This, You Haven't Told Me Anything, and Pretend That You're Alone are standouts, but the whole album is delightfully poppy and wonderful. I love the lead singer's soaring voice.

-The Saturdays' second single Up was the number 5 song on the UK charts for the week. Congrats, girls.
