The fact that I'm FINALLY off to see Frank Turner in March, coupled with my missus's strange OCD-like compulsion to learn every word of every song has led to a LOT of Frank Turner being played in my car!
Not a bad thing at all, though, as Frank Turner is fucking brilliant! There are moments where he's in danger of becoming the Levellers on this album, but he manages to dodge it, and turn in yet another near-perfect album. Go buy it now! (Don't download it off the internet or owt, though, as that makes Frank ANGRY!)

Tragedy - We Rock Sweet Balls And Can Do No Wrong
The Haiti Project led me to this. An all METAL tribute to the BeeGees! Does exactly what it says on the tin, basically, and is hilarious on first listen. After a couple more plays, though, unfortunately, it just becomes annoying. A lot like the real BeeGees, really.
Various Artists - The Haiti Project
You might have guessed from the title, but this album's proceeds all go towards relief efforts in Haiti. You can get it from here, for the tiny sum of £5.
And, for an album featuring a brand new track from Ginger Wildheart's new band The Sonic Graffiti, along with tunes from Eureka Machines, The Wildhearts, Electric Six, and Tony 'Terrorvision' Wright's Laika Dog amongst others, you'd have to be an idiot not to buy it (not buying it also makes you a racist by default.)
Full tracklisting:
The Sonic Graffiti – Mystery Number (Exclusive)
Eureka Machines – Being Good Is Ok, But Being Betters Better
Electric Six – Newark Airport Boogie
Jackdaw 4 – Jesus Wants My Soul Back
The Loyalties – Sofa Surfin’ UK (Acoustic)
Antiproduct – When We Find Love
The Organ Beats – Happy Birthday/Come On Home
The Wildhearts – Unbroken
Tragedy:All Metal Tribute To The Bee Gees – Nights On Broadway
Radio Dead Ones – Take It On Trust
Ricky Warwick – Love Owes
Brijitte West (Feat. Jesse Malin) – How To Be Good
Moi? – This Is All That I Wanted
Laika Dog – Piano Song
Sorry & The Sinatras – Riverside
Children of The Unicorn – Nightshark

Keane - Perfect Symmetry
Ok, so I haven't updated this thing for a month - too busy at work, and too lazy to update from home! :) A massive backlog of crap to post means updates will be shortish and shit-ish until I'm done!
Anyway, Keane. Following the age-old Good Album, Shit Album, Good Album progression, this, their third album, is actually good! Hurrah! Even if they have gone a bit Simple Minds.
Not the best thing in the world, but good enough for me to keep coming back for another listen.
No sample songs for you to listen to, because I can't be arsed. I might put some in later.
