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.

Tagged with a song meme! My five current favorites span Goldfrapp to Art of Noise. My iPod is broken again, curse Apple, but I'm eyeing the new flash-memory minis in NYC. Also tagging five friends and welcoming Bob to the blogosphere.

Give me your top five artists or bands you're loving right now.

Been using AudioScrobbler to track my listening habits. Jellyfish dominates everything, all ten of my top songs are theirs. Also loving JC Chasez's underrated album and Alanis's return to form. I'm getting more into music than ever, and I'm not sure why.

Soulwax's 2 Many DJs have a new album out and it's already sounding great four songs in. Go grab it before the link disappears.

Currently loving Jellyfish's Spilt Milk (get it now), Scissor Sisters, Outkast's double album, Dido's surprisingly strong ballads, George Michael's Patience, and Maroon 5's bitter, Jamiroquai-ish sound. Albums worth your time, not just catchy singles.

Been ill and binge-reading Something Positive, a webcomic with geek, gay and random humour. Most importantly, it has Choo-Choo Bear the polymorphic chemo-cat. Highly recommended.

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.

Found the "Do the Evolution" video by Pearl Jam. The lyrics are great, but the video is stunning. Track it down and watch it.
