Loving the new Snow Patrol album: depressing lyrics set to upbeat music, Sufjan Stevens name-checks, communal singing, and clapping. Also, Muse's "Supermassive Black Hole" sounds surprisingly Goldfrapp-esque, which the world needs more of. Good albums are overdue.

The Scissor Sisters' debut tracklist maps the lifecycle of The Gay Pop Artist, from innocent twink with fag-hag to scene queen to bitter, dried-out wreck. Laura doesn't fit, but the rest holds up. Too tired to analyze further. Run with it.

Gwen Stefani's debut solo album is out. Go get it immediately. Review coming soon.

Basement Jaxx's *Kish Kash* is an absolute must-buy. Drop everything, grab your wallet, sprint to the record store. Seven songs that make you want to dance immediately, all on one album. I'm putting it on permanent repeat until I know every word and breakbeat by heart.

Garbage's Beautiful Garbage is their best yet. "Androgyny" is perfectly me, and I'm manifesting a live performance while wearing my "Nobody Knows I'm a Lesbian" shirt. "Cherry Lips" makes me wish I'd written the lyrics myself.
