A stack of new CDs has arrived. Here is the list. Hours of listening pleasure awaits!

• Step Up 2: The Streets – Various. This is a soundtrack to a film about dancing in the rain, judging from the cover.
• Set in Stone – Brian McFadden. Ex-Westlife member and bingo caller, this is his second solo album.
• Juno – Various. This is another soundtrack, but with much better music.
• Riot – Paramore. This band from Tennessee is big in alternative music circles.
• Bittersweet World – Ashlee Simpson. Not so big in alternative music circles.
• Blackout – Britney Spears.
• Beautiful Machine – Shihad. Did you know that Shihad formed 20 years ago? I’ve seen Jon Toogood shopping at the supermarket, interestingly.
• Hard Candy – Madonna. I can’t quite picture Madonna pushing around a shopping trolley.
• Rockferry – Duffy. She has the highest-selling album in the UK this year.
• Clubbers’ Guide ’08 – Various.
• Konk – The Kooks.
• Keep Me On Your Side – Goodnight Nurse. The album cover is cool! It moves!
