As we're stuck inside waiting for our new iPod Touch to be delivered (which is looking less likely by the second. If they meant next *working* day delivery, why did they say 'next day delivery', stupid bloody... no, it's not about that), here are some quick music recommendations. Click the pictures for the YouTubely goodness.

Robots In Disguise: We're In The Music Biz

'The most unsuccessful duo the UK has never known'

A super album, a true step up from their enjoyable but slightly patchy eponymous debut. Like a compilation of the very best bits from Chicks On Speed, Peaches and Electrocute, reworked to ramp the catchiness up an extra couple of notches, and to pack in nicely self-effacing dumb pop lyrics. ("Look at us dead drunk Brits deep in the shit/Kicked out of a cab miles from the hotel/My purse empty no money in it/Can we cadge a lift on your beat up moped?"). Pop gold, right there.

Vive La Fete: Jour De Chance

The best noise to come out of Belgium since Front 242 hung up their wires. Fantastic electro, with the occasional peppering of guitars, as might be expected from a band co-founded by Danny Mommens, formerly of Deus. Marvellously catchy at their best, largely down to the gorgeous voice of other half of Vive La Fete, Els Pynoo, even if all the lyrics are in French, which we can't actually speak. It's even more proof of our pet theory that French is by far the official language of Good Music.

('Aventures Fictives', which there isn't actually a video for, but it's worth a listen anyway.)

April March and Steve Hanft: April March and Steve Hanft

At last. After what seems an age, during which her music has been used to provide the best bit Tarantino's disappointing Death Proof, April March is back. Her new album, created with Steve Hanft, is more of a return to 60s-style French pop than her last album, and all the more welcome for it. Slightly annoyingly, it isn't available in any physical format yet (as far as we can tell), but it is available through their MySpace page. And best of all, thanks to the current crisis in the American economy that will see us all eating out of bins by the end of 2008, it's less than £4.50 in our money. A Pyrrhic victory for music lovers everywhere!
