EOIN BUTLER's guide to singles, downloads and free audiostreams

Marina and The Diamonds

Hollywood 679 Records ***

Hollywoodis purportedly a damning indictment of Tinseltown and celebrity culture.  To these ears, it could easily pass for the exact opposite. Marina wants the single (from her forthcoming Family Jewelsalbum) to be "consumed as a theory that encourages [the listener] to ask question of themselves". Well I've listened to it six times and I have only one question: What's for lunch?

Daisy Dares You

Number One Enemy

Jive/Sony RCA **

This video is a compendium of virtually every single irritating fad and trend now in vogue. Attitude-heavy Mockney vocals, check. Autotuned chorus, check. Singer a doppelganger for one of the Geldof sisters, check. She probably has a Twitter page too. Oh, God . . . move over Tubridy, I’m now officially the world’s youngest old fogey!

Everyonebody was in the French Resistance... Now!

G.I.R.L.F.R.I.E.N (You know I've Got A) ****

The is Eddie Argos of Art Brut and Dylan Valdes of Blood Arm. Together they sound like Dexys meets The Fall meets The Auteurs meets Television Personalities. The track was apparently written as a response to Avril Lavigne's hit single Girlfiend. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. www.myspace.com/fixingthe charts

Little Comets

Joanna Columbia **

The Newcastle four-piece claim Debussy, Roald Dahl and Ella Fitzgerald as key influences. Odd then that they sound exactly like Maximo Park. The best anagram of Little Comets? Well, it can’t be printed here, but it involves omelettes.

Honorebel Featuring Pitbull & Jump Smokers

Now You See It Spinnin Records *

“Shake that ass for me/Come on shake that ass for me/Shake that ass for me/Come on shake that ass for me.” Marks the arrival of a major new voice in hip-hop, I think.

PS I Love You

Facelove Hype Lighter ****

Are the latest Pitchfork- approved Canadian indie rockers really named after a Cecilia Ahern novel? Hilariously, it would appear so.
