It must be the middle of the summer, because things on the NME charts are dull, dull, dull. All the same songs as last week except one, and the same, terrible #1 (Biffy Clyro). Baffling.

Our new entry:

Foals – Mathletics: Good name, pretty good song. Same sort of the new rave Klaxons-like sound, but this one is more interesting than a lot of that bunch. Not sure why. The odd, echoeing guitar line is pretty cool, but I suppose when you strip the song to its basics, it is nothing we haven't heard before. That being said, I still kind of dig it. I guess I'm just a riddle wrapped in an enigma today.
