Notes:

1. Deaths And Entrances = set phasers to epic!

2. Click here. Enjoy.

3. One of my favourite songs of the year so far. No matter how much Panda Bear and co might try to disguise it beneath clever-clever instrumentation and artsy production trickery, there's a classic pop band in there.

4. First impressions of The Eternal? Yet another storming album - but then you knew I'd say that. Having been at their poppiest ever last time out with Rather Ripped, this album has a real fire in its belly.

5. Four years on, has time judged 'In The Backseat' Funeral's best track? Maybe, just maybe. But the competition is so very stiff.

9. When The Kinks were good, they were very, very good. But - as listening to their whole Singles Collection underlines - when they were bad, they really were fucking awful.
