It seems football's not coming home after all. While it's delayed in the departure lounge, try these five albums to lessen the pain.

Music to stop your brain from melting, your soul from catching fire and your hearts from burning like the fires of Hades

We're bringing pop home this week and celebrating summer sounds while we're at it. There's the occasional cloud, but the main vibe is upbeat. We'll jangle our way to the beach with some 90s legends a...

Great music for wherever you are in the world, and whoever you're cheering for in the World Cup

As England, Scotland and an unfeasibly large contingent of other countries kick off their campaign to bring football home, the international flavour of this week's reviews feels appropriate.

I Helped Edward Ball Escape – A Tribute To The Times & Edward Ball : Various

Five albums and potentially five different audiences. Which one are you in?

Start light. Go dark. Dig Deeper. Whether you're a fan of hummable pop or dystopian ditties, you'll find something for you among these records.

Time to remember the joys of youth, manage the stresses of middle age and accept the importance of remaining true to yourself. These records will help:

From harrowing to uplifting and from chaos to calm, there's a broad spectrum to choose from this week. Featuring:

On this show we give you reminders of 70s TV and punk rock. We reminisce over Britpop. We travel the world to France, Wales and the foot of Afrikka. We explore the avant garde and tempt you with some ...

There's quite a bit of grief to process in this edition. Add to that a few examples of poetry in song and a band that smash through the rules and boundaries of traditional pop and you're in for a star...

The music is this week's blog is soothing, not jagged; uplifting not downbeat; melodic not harsh; a respite not a challenge.

The music is this week's blog is a heady rush that takes you from the depths of damaged introspection to the glorious heights of enduring ecstatic pop. Fasten your seat belts, here we go.

It's our Anniversaries show, featuring albums from 10. 20. 30. 40. 50 and 60 years ago. It will bring back good memories and help you to feel old. Elsewhere we have some dodgy links and dodgier language, pristine past pop and and present pop pearls to savour. Settle down with a ton of chocolate. Pop In The Real World - guaranteed to melt away all the calories you can consume. (in 9/10 cases!)

Happy Easter. You'll find these artists the perfect accompaniment to regretting the unfeasible qualtities of chocolate you've consumed over the Easter weekend

We're back to full strength this week, with a selection of great albums that fall firmly in the category marked 'Great Listening', irrespective of genre :

Something a little different for this show. You won't be hearing me until after the third tune, but the reason for that will be made clear. After that we are by turns, electronic, new waveish, contine...

It's a condensed set of reviews this week, and it covers the downbeat to the upbeat with nothing inbetween. Raise a glass to :

Spring is here. And so are these beauties.

Spring is here. And so are these beauties.

Here you find quiet and loud, young and old, future and renewed friendships. Enjoy.

Give a warm welcome and make some noise for these girls and boys.

Ready to tickle and massage your eardrums, here's this weeks acts.
