- New Young Pony Club ‘living up to the hype’ at 02 Wireless.
- Download’s decision to offer a free webcast – which bagged them nearly a million hits.

- This year’s Glastonbury – hailed ‘one of the best’ despite some sound issues. In particular Shirley Bassey’s diamante wellies.
- Hot Chip storming Wild In The Country.
