Brut Force
And so we come to the end of our somewhat disappointing effort at covering a few of the great singles which have been released this week, but we've still got one last chance to pull it back with our final choice for the week, ladies and gentlemen, we give you Art Brut's Good Weekend.
Now, some of you may wish to argue that Art Brut aren't exactly what you'd call pop, but you're wrong because:

Now, some of you may wish to argue that Art Brut aren't exactly what you'd call pop, but you're wrong because:
- Thanks to his effortless friendship with Mr Tune, his penchant for writing songs which are the musical equivalent of bouncy balls, his ability to perfectly sum up the euphoric sensations of being in love within the confines of a three minute pop song and his impressively witty way with words, we reckon that Eddie Argos is the, albeit not as nattily attired, new Neil Tennant.
- We say so.
- DO go to either Fibbers in York tonight, or Newcastle's Other Rooms tomorrow to see Art Brut playing live, and possibly falling off the stage.
- DON'T go anywhere near the north of Scotland, as Rick Witter and the Dukes appear to be playing every venue he can find in that vague area. Yes it is that Rick Witter, and no, even if he does play Disco Down it won't be worth going to.
- DO watch X Factor on Saturday night. It's the bootcamp stages, and the sooner they're out of the way, the sooner the live programmes start, and the sooner the live programmes start, the sooner they finish and we can all get on with our lives once again. Once they do start, we'll be bringing back our weekly report on the proceedings as they struggle to see if they can find an artist marginally less annoying than Steve Brookstein. Basically we'll watch it so you don't have to.
- DON'T watch Rock School on Channel 4 tonight. Deep down you know how rubbish it's going to be, don't even be tempted.
- DO listen intently to the chart on Sunday night to find out what position Jo O'Meara enters at if you've entered our competition. And if you haven't, what's stopping you? All it requires is thinking of a number between 1 and 40, something which even a member of the Noise Next Door could manage.
- DON'T bother listening after you have that knowledge. It's really not worth putting up with JK and Joel for any longer than is necessary. The Sugababe's are number one if you really need to know.
