The Foals - Mathletics (Transgressive)
Another magical single from The Foals sees their mix of A Certain Ratio and early Orange Juice to full effect. This will be the song to liven up every student disco up and down the country. More infectious than foot and mouth and twice as deadly. So limited on 7” only that it hurts. Buy one today.

Manic Street Preachers - Autumn Song (Warners)
Hardly their best single especially as “baby what have you done to your hair” is possibly the worst lyric ever but worth getting CD1 for a fantastic cover of obscure gem Red Sleeping Beauty originally by McCarthy (some of whom who went onto be Stereolab).
