Johnny Cash's posthumous album Out Among The Stars includes lost material from the 80's. It's enjoyable but not some of his finest material.

Eels deal with their recurring themes lost love and despair on The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett.

The Amazing Snakeheads scream their psychedelic Cramps style songs in a strong Glaswegian accent. Amphetamine Ballads is an awesome debut.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus has entered the UK charts again at number 56. It seems this song is well and truly a classic teenager anthem.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

The single Turn Around by Jingo has a 60's flavour, and an essence of Fleetwood Mac with their boy girl harmonies.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Sam Bailey's debut is nothing to be proud of. The Power of Love may have topped the charts, but a bunch of bland covers isn't impressive.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Walk Me To The Bridge by Manic Street Preachers is nothing groundbreaking, but at the same time isn't completely rubbish.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Manics latest single Europa Geht Durch Mich is another politically fueled tune but blended with a disco beat.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Black Stone Cherry's 8th album Magic Mountain is a fine example of hard rock music in the 21st century.

Ray LaMontagne has turned his back on his old self with Supernova. Sadly it's an unconvincing sell out in an attempt to recreate himself.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

MØ's debut No Mythologies to Follow is a neat example of dream pop, however none of the songs are as catchy as they should be.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Bob Dylan has unveiled the cover Full Moon & Empty Arms. A rough voice to a delicate song doesn't fit, and even Dylan can't pull this off.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Candyman by Darlia is a promising start to any career, as this single gets a massive grunge stamp of approval.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Scottish trio Paws have released their album Youth Culture Forever, which has lo-fi tones of Pavement and cute teen pop melodies.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

The single I Want To Drag You Around by Blondie is a mellow electronic mood setter, however quite different from their previous work.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Children of the Universe by Molly is a promising Eurovision entry. That's if you like cheesy forgettable one hit wonders.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

The single Hot Squash from Pulled Apart by Horses remains true to their heavy roots, but has a quality that appeals to wider audiences.

[Alice @mushroomhat]

Step Into My Room by Uncle Frank. This single is feverishly catchy, and not to mention sexy. Frank is keeping the funk alive and kicking.
