New Releases Windsor for the Derby exist “in a world of slow movements” and “represent slow music”. I don’t know what that means but I swear to God that’s what they say in the press release. They even put the slow in quotation marks. Maybe they play all their songs at half speed, maybe they take a while to grow on you or maybe they just aren’t that bright, you can decide which kind of “slow” they are when they release new album ‘Against Love’ on June 18th.

The five sparkly little jewel(case)s that have taken my fancy this week are as diverse as they are….. different. Got to work on those metaphors if I’m going to be writing this every week or so… We start with: Manic Street Preachers - Journal For Plague Lovers Disclaimer first - I like a huge amount of what the Manics have done over the years, I thought the last album was brilliant and they’re one of the best interviews I ever did, back in April 2007. This is their new one though and slightly different. This is the legendary album. The one with all of the late Richie Edwards unused lyrics… It easily stands up with their stuff from the past.
