Out This Week

So 'Big Brother' is over for another year and you suddenly have an extra eight hours in your week. Why not make a start at filling this new expanse of free time by perusing this week's offering of singles...

The Go! Team 'Doing It Right' (Memphis Industries)
Back in 2004, Brighton's The Go! Team reignited the old sampling dilemma (in our minds at least) as to whether it was OK to enjoy a record that would probably be complete crap if it weren't for the successful inclusion of someone else's far superior music. Having seen (and walked out of) numerous terrible gigs by the band (why do they insist on burying the vocals in the mix?) we were fairly convinced that no, it wasn't. But new single 'Doing It Right' has all the same infectious charm that drew us to 'Thunder, Lightning, Strike' and while the bratty vocals are just following the melody of whatever old vinyl they're plagiarising and Ninja's rap isn't likely to win any emcee battles, it still makes us want to dance like loons. And that's probably all that matters in the end.
