Unrealistic ideas behaving like reindeers

Feel good hits of the 7th of August, 2006:

Rival Schools - "High Acetate"
Sugababes - "Push The Button"
AC Newman - "The Cloud Prayer"
The Moldy Peaches - "Nothing Came Out"
Architecture In Helsinki - "Like A Call (Screwed & Chopped)"
Wire - "Former Airline"
Au Revoir Simone - "Back In Time"
Broadcast - "Unchanging Window"
Matson Jones - "Welcome Back, Mr. Audiotechnica"
Lupine Howl - "This Condition"


"Push The Button" is just a massive unreasoning monster of a pop song, isn't it?

I love 'Push The Button' - better than 'Round Round' but not as good as 'Freak Like Me' in the first-single-off-new-album stakes. 'Overload' wasn't bad either.

I like it better than "Freak Like Me" (and have never heard "Round Round"), but "Overload" was my first exposure to them (thanks to, of all things, the NME) and retains a special spot in my heart.

"Overload" is still my favourite too although "Push The Button" is close. And sorry if I misread what you meant, Ben, but shouldn't it be (rather forgettable) "Hole In The Head" rather than "Round Round" is we're talking first singles?
