FRESH, NEW MUSIC isn't scarce. In a world of too much information, it's just harder to find.

What have I found? Some new cuts, after the jump...

Boybands (or all-male singing groups, in ka-ostheory terminolgy) are often remembered for their debuts. B2K is Uh Huh, MN8 is I've Got A Little Something For You, and Blue is All Rise. So JLS, the first proper All-Male Singing Group in, like, forever, disappoint with the uninspired Beat Again. And to add insult to injury, there's little flesh on offer (okay, beautiful Aston teases with a little cleavage).

If you like your bands a bit more real, Kid British might be more up your street, where you'll find Our House Is Dadless. This multi-racial band were described as 'the best new band in Manchester' by The Guardian. What I would say is, it's got cute boys and this is a cute video, as far from JLS's hopelessly dated clip as Nighty Night is from The Good Life.

You're always in safe hands with the boy from Bow, and for his latest Dizzee Rascal has teamed up with Armand Van Helden. Bonkers. Really.

Given their video pedigree, it's astonishing that the Pet Shop Boys could sanction what must be one of the worst videos ever. I mean really: why? The song, however, is proper old skool PSB. Not that there was anything wrong with nu skool PSB.

Aqua is a funny one. Barbie Girl is a nightmarish 90s trip we'd all like to forget - but the Danish Eurodance troupe's Around The World was pure pop heaven. Back To The 80s isn't as good, but this new track is sweet (okay, sickly sweet) and pure guilty pleasure. Lock the door and shut the blinds - don't get caught.

I never liked Take That. But I have to say since they relaunched I've had to pay attention. Both Shine and Rule The World are excellent, and their latest offering, Said It All, keeps pace. And it's got the circus in. A scary circus with scary clowns. I like that.

If there was one song that should never have been subjected to The Remix, it's Annie Lennox's Why. But this effort, by QK, plays to the original's strengths. It's utterly gorgeous.

DISCOGRAPHIC: VIDEO CLASSICS YOU NEED TO KNOW, EVERY TUESDAY...

SETTLE DOWN NOW boys and girls.

Pay attention to the nice boy, because he has a jolly nice story to tell you. His name is Dylan, but his friends call him Dizzee. He's a rascal! He lives on a big council estate in Bow with his mummy.

Dylan doesn't have a daddy. Dylan was a bad boy in school and he had to leave. He was a little bit naughty and stole some cars. But Dylan went to music classes and a kind teacher helped him to learn how to make music that everyone likes. Dylan made a very good record called Boy In Da Corner (watch your spelling now, children!) which lots of people bought. Dylan is such a nice boy he even said thank you to all the mummies and daddies who bought the record. In fact, if you listen closely, you can hear him say thank you on this jolly good film clip of his song, Dream. So make yourselves comfortable and listen sharp as Dylan tells you all about his life...

So maybe I was hasty

Exactly one week ago I wrote of my disappointment at Barack Obama's comments on gay marriage. I was angry and it showed. But don't doubt that I think he's the best man for the job right now.

I'm not a disciple and I'm not a cheerleader. As Dizzee Rascal said on MTV Base (oh, I'm so high brow), it doesn't matter what colour the President is, as long as he does what a President is supposed to do.

With that in mind, it looks like the man challenged with cleaning up Dubya's mess is making a good start, with this news, and this.

So kiss my battyman Irish ass, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mister Obama seem to think you're garbage too. Kisses.

And Mister Obama? I'm sorry I called you a jerk. Don't let me down.

Don't let us down.
