			<title>Goldfrapp - The Singles</title>
			<description><![CDATA[&#60;u&#62;&#60;b&#62;Words&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/u&#62;: Elaine Buckley

So you're not very au fait with the way of &#60;b&#62;Goldfrapp&#60;/b&#62;. That's okay. It's never too late to introduce your ears to the wonderful electric stylings of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, as they unleash this...]]></description>

			<title>First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar</title>
			<description><![CDATA[A Fleet Foxes cover version posted to YouTube in 2008 brought them buzz, their debut album &#60;i&#62;The Big Black &#38; Blue&#60;/i&#62; released in 2010 brought them acclaim, and now &#60;b&#62;First Aid Kit&#60;/b&#62; - a.k.a Swedish siblings Klara and Johanna S&#246;derberg - return...]]></description>

			<title>Django Django - Django Django</title>
			<description><![CDATA[&#60;b&#62;Django Django&#60;/b&#62; have been on the periphery of many musical radars since 2009 when songs like 'Storm' and 'Love's Dart' found their way onto the internet, showcasing the sort of promise which saw utterances like &#34;ones to watch&#34; and &#34;keep an eye...]]></description>

			<title>Delorentos - Little Sparks</title>
			<description><![CDATA[&#60;u&#62;&#60;b&#62;Words&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/u&#62;: Elaine Buckley

&#60;i&#62;You Can Make Sound&#60;/i&#62; was very much a &#34;difficult second album&#34; for &#60;b&#62;Delorentos&#60;/b&#62;, surviving a near-split in its making, as a potential record deal crashed and burned beyond their control. Thankfully,...]]></description>

			<title>The Roots - Undun</title>
			<description><![CDATA[You might be forgiven to think that &#60;b&#62;The Roots&#60;/b&#62;' new album was subject to the inspiration of their boredom. The Philadelphian band have always eschewed the standard practices and fares of the contemporary music industry but &#60;i&#62;&#60;b&#62;Undun&#60;/b&#62;&#60;/i&#62;,...]]></description>

			<title>The Maccabees - Given To The Wild</title>
			<description><![CDATA[It might have taken slightly longer than expected but finally, three albums in, &#60;b&#62;The Maccabees&#60;/b&#62; seem to be fulfilling the untapped potential which saw the music press proclaim them to be the saviours of the indie rock movement in the UK. Their...]]></description>

			<title>Chris Cornell - Songbook</title>
			<description><![CDATA[There was a time in the mid 90's when &#60;b&#62;Chris Cornell&#60;/b&#62; and Soundgarden were at the forefront of popular music. Songs like 'Black Hole Sun', from their &#60;i&#62;Superunknown&#60;/i&#62; album, was the soundtrack to many hours of misspent youth but, like so...]]></description>

			<title>Drake - Take Care</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Let's be honest here, television isn't often a path taken by rappers to get their name out in advance of their impending musical careers (unless, of course, you're Will Smith) but that's exactly the route that &#60;b&#62;Drake&#60;/b&#62; has, perhaps unwittingly,...]]></description>

			<title>Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow</title>
			<description><![CDATA[It's difficult to say what made &#60;b&#62;Kate Bush&#60;/b&#62; so proactive in 2011. Having flown conspicuously under the radar since 2005's &#60;i&#62;Aerial&#60;/i&#62;, Bush returned earlier this year with &#60;i&#62;Director's Cut&#60;/i&#62;, a collection of reworked material from earlier...]]></description>

			<title>Rihanna - Talk That Talk</title>

I often wonder - does &#60;b&#62;Rihanna&#60;/b&#62; ever sleep? Seriously. Here we have her at the grand old age of 23, releasing her 6th studio album in as many years, which was recorded and released whilst still very much...]]></description>

			<title>Amy Winehouse - Lioness: Hidden Treasures</title>
			<description><![CDATA[As we have seen with Michael Jackson's &#60;i&#62;Michael&#60;/i&#62; and any one of Tupac's several posthumous releases, any music put out by a, well, 'expired' musician rarely hits even close to the heights of their best material. This is also the case with...]]></description>

JLS's self-titled debut and its...]]></description>

			<title>R.E.M. - Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage 1982-2011</title>
			<description><![CDATA[When evaluating &#60;b&#62;R.E.M.&#60;/b&#62;'s thirty year career it becomes apparent that it can be broken down into three very specific categories. Their early years, where they were the champions of college rock, were spent adopting and defining the sound...]]></description>

			<title>Come On Live Long - Mender EP</title>

Rather than use the relative youth of the band as an excuse...]]></description>

Dublin schoolteachers John Duignan and Conall O'Breachain, better known as &#60;b&#62;We Cut Corners&#60;/b&#62;, are without a doubt one of the most intriguing acts on the Irish music scene at the moment. In theory  short...]]></description>

			<title>Cher Lloyd - Sticks + Stones</title>
			<description><![CDATA[It's certainly interesting that &#60;b&#62;Cher Lloyd&#60;/b&#62; saw fit to name her debut album &#60;i&#62;Sticks + Stones&#60;/i&#62;, a seemingly pre-emptive &#34;I don't care what you say&#34; war cry to music critics everywhere. She needn't have bothered. While this album doesn't go...]]></description>
