My weekly review of some of the singles out now. You know the drill...

***** Commodore 64
**** Atari 400
*** BBC
** Commodore Vic 20
* Sinclair ZX Spectrum

"The Bones Of You" - Elbow
Obviously a cash in of their thoroughly deserved success at last month's Mercury Music Prize awards.
But why not? It's a lovely rollercoaster of a song which shows exactly what impressed those judges.

"Love You Anyway" - Boyzone
See, the easy thing here would be to trash Boyzone. So I say, why make life difficult? Desperately trying to ride in on Take That's comeback success but, unlike them, Boyzone have not improved.
Why did Keith Duffy leave Corrie to to return to this?

"Girls" - Sugababes
Get "Here Come The Girls" by Ernie K Doe for a real, classy soul tune but this is a fine cover nevertheless and a great pop song.
Possibly their best effort post-Mutya. Although expect to be sick of it in no time as it will no doubt be played to death.

"So What" - Pink
While this isn't bad, I can't see why some people seem to be raving about it.
It's typical angry Pink telling people to accept her for who she is (again).

"He's A Rocker" - The Vines
Wow, The Vines are still going?! Saw them in their "Highly Evolved" days and they were mental.
But, sadly, this is a little plodding and doesn't really standout like their old stuff.

"She Made It Easy" - Kotchy
Stumbled across this tune purely by accident and, boy, am I glad that I did!
A shot of eclectic, eccentric electronica - not too unlike Beck - and a real treat. Single of the week for me.
