So here's today's challenge. Watch the first seven seconds of this Olly Murs 'video content' without shouting OH FUCK OFF YOU MASSIVE CUNT at your computer.
JESUS CHRIST.
The following 44 seconds aren't much better either. WHO chooses the hospitality area of Glastonbury (?!) as the place to plug their new single? Was the demand for 'video content' so immediate and so extreme that a video plug HAD to be recorded right there and then? And WHY is Olly Murs telling people to buy the single when he knows they haven't even heard it yet? Is he suggesting that it doesn't matter what the single actually sounds like or how good it is?
Apparently the single, 'Please Don't Let Me Go', was eventually played on Capital FM this morning but we missed it because we were listening to Chris Moyles instead. It's not on YouTube yet, which may speak volumes. Perhaps it is brilliant. Where Annoying Hat Wearer Of The Year 2009-2010 is concerned, anything is possible.
Perhaps the final word here should go to Maureen from the Popjustice forums. "I saw him on Brick Lane the other week," she writes. "He was wearing an England shirt with suit trousers.

We jest, of course, readers. This is not the Professor Green album at all, it is in fact just a parade of not-as-good-as-the-radio-edit remixes (Wideboys, you've failed us this time) of the new single.
As for the real album, it's a shame the songs on it aren't a bit more samey. By way of explanation, here's 'Just Be Good To Green' and 'I Need You Tonight' represented pictorially.
In other words, WE WANT ALL SONGS ON ALL ALBUMS TO SOUND LIKE SINGLES. NO ARTISTIC EXPERIMENTATION. HITS A-GO-GO. NO LIGHT OR SHADE. JUST BIG BRIGHT BLINDING LIGHT ALL THE TIME. Thank you.

We have been thinking a bit about the so-called (by us) 'reinvention' of The Hoosiers and we have come to the conclusion that almost everything about them remains the same except for the fact that they are no longer operating in a 90% terrible sonic environment. By which we mean that if the first album had been produced to sound like their new stuff, it probably would have not been such a harrowing listen.
Anyway we have now been given the 'green light' to play you clips from two more songs from the new album.
Firstly, here is 'Giddy Up'.
And here is 'Unlikely Hero'.
We were once surprised to find a chocolate bar in an old coat pocket - it was an unlikely Aero.
In addition to those two Quite Good songs, and just to recap a couple of tunes we've already featured on the site, this is 'Bumpy Ride'...
...and this is 'Choices'.
Now correct us if we're wrong but is every single one of these clips not Actually Really Good? We have sadly come to the conclusion that the 'Choices' video is basically shit though, sadly.

This video is brilliant.
It's for the new Martin Solveig track 'Hello', which features Martina from Dragonette on vocals. Last year Martin and Martina teamed up for 'Boys & Girls' and Martina appeared alongside Jean Paul Gaultier in the extraordinary video; one year on Martina's taken a back seat but Bob Sinclar does appear, along with tennis players Nocak Djokovic and Gael Monfils.
The video (we're basically copying this straight off an email now) was filmed live in front of a real audience at Roland Garros during the French Open.
