Kano: 140 Grime Street

Quite why Kano is not number one in every country in the world is a poser which has us scratching our barnet on the daily. Especially given that 140 Grime Street is quite literally AMAZING. 'I got so many garms, I'm clobbered' he says. Our review, in the new handy, cut-out-and-keep pictoral style, after the jump.

Ladyhawke - Ladyhawke

Ladyhawke's debut album came out on September 22, but we've been too damn busy listening to it to actually sit down and make a nice collage about it. Until now. We officially love it, because it makes us think of these things, and all of them are good:

Yo Majesty - Futuristically Speaking... Never Be Afraid

Yo Majesty's debut album is properly mental. We tried listening to it on a Monday morning once and it was not a success. However we have listened to it on Thursday night, Friday afternoon, Saturday day and Sunday lunch, and at all of those times it works. It's insanely danceable in parts, riot grrrl shouty in others, and the only drawback is that its length makes it a bit sloppier than necessary. But it is still loads of fun. Here it is, in pictures.

The Streets - Everything Is Borrowed

We tried to like Everything Is Borrowed because it's got that nice way of being really jaunty musically while having depressing lyrics about the end of the world.

With a touch more charm and cheek. In pictures:

10 Things We Would Rather Do Than Review The New Oasis Album

The new Oasis album, Dig Out Your Soul, leaked onto the internets yesterday, so it's about to get brung out a week early. We were going to review it but after careful consideration decided there were a lot of things we'd rather do than actually have to listen to a new Oasis album...

Plastic Little - Welcome To The Jang House

We've been enjoying Plastic Little's gross-out party hip-hop since Crambodia first came to our attention back in 2006, but since Welcome To The Jang House is their third album, we've got a lot of catching up to do. While we do that, you can see our review of the record, done as a cut-and-paste collage.
