Sausage, fried egg, hash brown, toast, ketchup. No fifth element for me. I know when to quit.

They clearly want to lose you as a fan, and gain me. Perhaps their evil plan is working - they know how much I spend at the merchandise stall and they'd love a piece of that.

When I was a teenager in the mid to late 80s, I used to look forward to NME coming out every week almost as much as I enjoyed going to the record shops on a Monday. It used to be a subversive, left-field read. Last time I bought a copy, it was championing some terrible made-up subgenre of emo...

I worked one summer in a Cancer Research shop. Was the youngest employee by about 40 years. Got lots and lots of cups of tea made for me and was fed far too many chocolate biscuits. Lovely stuff.

I'm a bit behind the times on this one (I'm having to work long hours at work at the moment, OK?), but I am really liking the Tigercats album. Great tuneful indiepop with a bit of soul, perfect for a late night train home.

When I've finished my busy time at work, I'm going to whack a load of BHA quizzes onto Sporcle. Top 10 most expensive Albion signings was going to be one of them - saved me some research there El Pres: I'll still do the quiz, but I'll just nick the info off this article. Thanks!

Don't get me started on Vietcong...??? I've got 68 songs to catch up on. Currently on Starry Eyed Cadet: one for you and Buzzer maybe (if you haven't already heard them) - jangly guitar, chanson, Scandinavian-sounding singer with silky but light voice, a touch of Alvvays. They've got a Bandcamp...

Little bit too well mannered for me. Like the single though.

They were unlucky on Saturday too. You don't seem to have much luck when you're near the bottom of the table. Maybe we'll get some this evening, or maybe they'll get a deflected own goal off the crossbar, post and goalkeeper's back after the ref ignores a clear foul on one of our defenders.

I don't think, I know. Never listened to APTBS - always assumed they were some EMO kind of thing for teenagers?

I don't mind this album as background, but it drags as foreground. I wouldn't even think of putting this on if my wife were present. Father John Misty, however, is appreciated by both parties - a safe bet for fans of interesting (?) lyrics and rich content.

Thanks Shaun - will give this a spin. Enjoyed the last two singles. Hellfire. This film is on my Lovefilm list, but I could do with some riot grrrl right now. Still, Film 4 seem to repeat everything all the time, hopefully this will come around soon. More likely it will be the exception to...

El Rey by The Wedding Present. Haven't listened for a while.

One Mojito, one Cherry Blossom, one Dark And Stormy, one glass of Port to go with the cheese. Not a normal Friday night's selection.

I don't know if Hood are still going. I think they are, but I'm not sure. My favourite songs by them are I've Forgotten How To Live and (The) Weight, but all of their albums are very nice, transforming from more noisy to bucolic ambience over time. They've released tons of singles. i've got most...

I'll be in for another round at Easter. The first metal album I ever bought was Mob Rules by Black Sabbath. That raw metallic guitar sound on Country Girl sent a shiver down my 12 year old spine. And that Sabbath album with the picture of an old mill house and a cloaked woman in the foreground...

There's also a subgenre of metal you don't mind doing as karaoke when you've had a few drinks. However, we're now in swamp country between irony and subconscious liking. Well, whatever - you'll find Livin On A Prayer and its cousins grazing here.

Pleasure - glad you enjoyed it.

Big head. When I liked heavy rock/metal, my favourites were Number of the Beast and If You Want Blood....You Got It. Maybe Ride The Lightning too. Didn't like Venom, Accept or Merciful Fate though. Or the vocalist from Virgin Steele. Manowar were idiots too. So were Ratt and WASP. Very...

He'd enjoy our all-seater stadium.
