Notes:

1, 2 and 3. Reviews of very good recent gigs to come.

4. I'm a bit obsessed with Houdini at the moment.

5. A double album that isn't completely overindulgent? Well, not quite, but not far off.

6. Brilliant live and really rather good, actually, on record - who'd've thunk it?

7. My verdict on Teen Dream might change, but at the moment it's: good, but go and listen to last year's Infinite Light by Lightning Dust instead.

8. The result of flitting around on YouTube last night. The Shangri-Las' Mary Weiss is now performing new material with the backing of a garage rock band, The Reigning Sound - nice.

9. So remind me - why did it take me so long to give Reservoir a spin again?

10. Nope, still not got Embryonic - I'll keep you posted if/when it happens.
