Currently streaming (this week only) on MySpace is Forth, the new album by The Verve. I've only been waiting a year for it. Here is my verdict as I listen to it for the "first time"

A few free tunes for you (whilst they last). Registation needed for most or all of these.

All this means is that I have a backlog of CDs to listen to . . .

Midweek I found a new blog on NME about new bands, namely The Courteeners, Q Without U and The Invisibles.
