For those wondering about the upcoming schedule:-

Next episode of the podcast will be next weekend (since while I’m back in town this weekend, Al isn’t).

There’ll be a wrestling preview on Sunday, though since I haven’t actually seen any of the build-up to this show, it might be a bit sketchy.

And I have an enormous pile of X-books (and other comics) to wade through, so rather than try to do it all in one post – which would kill me – I’ll be doing a series of catch-up posts over the next week or so.

Continuing our chart catch-up, this is the chart that includes sales over the week following the Olympic Opening Ceremony.  Since the soundtrack was helpfully made available on iTunes – with most of the tracks available for individual download – the result is three new entries from the show, and a couple of unexpected acts appearing.

But first…

1.  Wiley featuring Ms D – “Heatwave”

(more…)

Just a reminder that we’re still on a break, and I’m speaking to you through the wonder of time-delayed posting.  Normal service will be resumed shortly.

As mentioned on the last podcast, we’re taking a break for a few weeks following my wedding, and we’ll be back in mid-August.  Thanks for all your comments, and we’ll see you then!

This week: very little is released, and none of it is very interesting.

1.  Florence + The Machine – “Spectrum”

(more…)

Reviews on Monday, people, since I won’t get the books till then. But there’s a podcast just waiting for you, two posts down.

Reviews won’t be till Monday, due to my perverse insistence on reading the books first, something which I have not yet done.

Just for anyone who’s wondering:-

The next podcast will be next weekend.  (If we did it today, there’d be an enormous gap before the next one.  Trust me, it’s neater this way.)

Chart post and wrestling preview to follow later this weekend, and (probably) reviews on Sunday night – depending mainly on whether I manage to find the time to actually read the comics before then.

Just a reminder that, as we mentioned on the last show, the next podcast will be up midweek.

Reviews probably tomorrow, people. Busy, busy, busy.
