Well I have recovered from my Girls Aloud ending, V festival high and am ready to get back into the swing of things - at least until I pop off to Sitges for a week on Saturday...

Despite me slamming the boringness of Keane live, I do quite like their Crystal Ball single that is currently doing "the rounds!" Along with Somewhere Only We Know and Everybodys Changing, it was one of the highlights of their hour long set...Check out yesterdays post for an acoustic version of the single, and below for two perfectly nice b-sides...

MP3: Keane - Maybe I Can Change
MP3: Keane - Under The Iron Sea (magic shop version)

That will probably leap up the chart to number 8 or 9 this week, when really this song by The Upper Room (which was meant to be released today) should be charting at number 8 or 9. Tragically, there is no justice in the world so it won't. I have been sad for the Upper Room ever since i read this, but am encouraged by foxy new haircuts, good new tunes (Bad news) and a cover that I now remember to be U2's I Will follow in their live set...

MP3: The Upper Room - Never Come Back

Don't forget that the should be famous by now, but not Protocol are posting free mp3s on their website each week. This weeks is a simply lovely acoustic version of Those Things I Do. I like that they are branching out their style somewhat :)

MP3: Protocol - Those Things I Do (acoustic)
