MILEY CYRUS

7 Things

Hollywood

According to this song, there are seven things that Billie Ray's discomfortingly sassy daughter hates about you. Spoiler alert: The seventh is that she's still in love with you-ou-ou! Which comes as something of a surprise, after she so thoroughly disses you in points one through six. But there you go. Swings and roundabouts, eh?

JEFFREY LEWIS

A Quick Biography of Barack Obama

Rough Trade

From Will.i.am's celeb-heavy It's a New Day video to a mooted new album from Bruce Springsteen. There have been plenty of musical responses already to the US presidential election, but I have to give props to New York anti-folkster Jeffrey Lewis for coming up with what's certainly the most informative Obama tribute to date. (Sample lyric: "From Jakarta to Hawaii to Columbia U in New York/Where he studied International Relations and Political Science . . . ")

ENYA

Trains and Winter Rains

Warner

Holy crap, Enya has gone trash metal! The woman is a rock monster; I had no idea she could shred like that. I'm joking. Sadly, I'm joking.

MALIBU SNEAKERS

Get Down Again

DATA Records

If the video for this kitschy Gilbert O'Sullivan remix doesn't put a smile on your face (think dancing girls, comically indifferent canines and Tony Blackburn), then you must truly have a heart of stone. www.youtube.com

CHEEKY CHEEKY AND THE NOSEBLEEDS

You Let Me Go

Twenty Years of Boredom

It's already been a vintage year for the stupidly monikered indie band (The Ting Tings, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Joe Lean the Jing Jang Jong, etc.) But making a late burst for glory on the outside lane are Suffolk's Cheeky Cheeky and the Nosebleeds. It's a catchy song, I can't deny it.

FRED

The Lights

RCM Music

The third single from Fred's Go God Go was recently made Single of the Week on iTunes Canada. Impending international superstardom notwithstanding, the Cork lads have an Irish tour beginning in Dolans in Limerick on November 29th.
