Imagine a family of garden gnomes, posed as if enjoying a picnic, in a perfect, English country garden. Toy windmills circle prettily amongst the garden hedges, and bluebirds trill sweetly in the sweet summer air. A fresh-faced postie drops a naughty seaside postcard on your welcome mat. The kettle is whistling.

This week’s SOTW is Total Eclipse of the Heart, as massacred by the cast of Glee. Don’t get me wrong; I have nothing against people who enjoy watching Glee – some of my best friends watch Glee. But for me, the experience is akin to taking pleasure from watching a Rottweiler butcher a squirrel. Fascinating? Undoubtedly. But enjoyable? No, no, no. Bad and wrong and so disturbing it may haunt me for the rest of my days.

Bloodbuzz Ohio is a steadily building mini-epic that will lift your spirits and break your heart; a perfect introduction to The National’s new album. Lead singer Matt Berninger’s deadpan baritone murmurs through a simmering intro of stammering drums and rousing brass.

Every so often a song comes along that is so horrifying it is impossible to ignore. Like watching a dog take a crap on the street, despite all your better instincts, you find you have no choice but to notice it. Take Taio Cruz and Ke$ha’s Dirty Picture - truly the Ashley Cole of love songs.
