(JP: 'Here's something sensitive. Well, to start with anyway.')

• Levellers 5: 'What's The Matter? (LP-Clatter)' (Probe Plus)
• Planet Cook: 'The Magic Roundabout (12")' (Beast Baseball)

(JP: 'Of course, everybody's now pretending that they've always really liked the Magic Roundabout and that it was all to do with drugs anyway, which is complete nonsense of course. But perhaps it was last week's thing. Perhaps it's still this week's, I'm not sure.')

• Telescopes: 'Celeste (12")' (Creation)

(JP: 'It's curious how last year they were terrifically hip and now suddenly not so hip at all, really. I think it was the Reading Festival, they somehow got it wrong at the Reading Festival: I was standing on stage watching them, they weren't terribly good but there was more to it than that somehow.')
