Late Of The Pier are well and truly back!
“Blueberry” has been released digitally on December 14. The band will put out the song as a double-A-side together with
“Best in Class” in February 2010 on the label of their producer
Erol Alkan, Phantasy.
As singer
Sam Eastgate states in a radio interview the song had been one of the very early songs of
Late of the Pier and had needed five years to develop, but is now ready to be presented to the fans as an unintentional Christmas gift.
To my taste this song is amazing! You can hear a refference to the 60's psychedelia in that. In the meantime, it's certainly getting some
Bowie vibes.
Is There Nothing We Can Do and is the soundtrack for a British TV movie called
The Fattest Man in Britain and a title track from a new
Badly Drawn Boy album. The record will be BDB's first new release since 2006's Born in the UK.
The song keeps holding on no.2 position this week.
Here you can see an acoustic version of this song.

London-based-band
The Temper Trap climbed 4 places to No.5 this week.
With hugely successful shows across the US this Fall,
The Temper Trap have established themselves as one of the best live bands of the year.
The New York Times said,
“The Temper Trap…plunged into anthems of self-discovery with the martial drive of U2, vocals heading for falsetto and instrumental buildups that were clearly aiming for arenas.” The New York Post added,
“The band’s music is atmospheric, approaching grandeur…This band is on the cusp of fame.”

I'm looking for "TOP POPS/MUSIC NOW" and "MERSEYBEAT / MUSIC ECHO" Charts to complete my 60's singles charts collection.
