It's getting harder and harder in the run up to Christmas to find enough stuff to write about single wise. We may as well start with the two big names to release new stuff. First up are those pesky Arctic Monkeys with their illegally infectious 'Cornerstone', with a video featuring a ludicrously skinny Alex Turner. There won't be many better pop songs released this week, and Oxfam again have the exclusive, so there's really very little excuse. I've just realised, Alex looks like some kind of famine victim, so he'll probably see the money indirectly anyway.

Next are the altogether more cack Florence + The Machine, with their oh so original cover of Candi Staton's classic 'You've Got The Love'. I wasn't actually going to bother writing about this, but then I realised I could also post the video to the superior original. Still though, I was undecided as to whether to bother. Then I noticed that the Youtube comments to the Florence + The Machine version were superb. Even in the open minded, enlightened world of Youtube comments, TheMrHabeeb shines through: " I don't give a fuck about her voice, she can't sing when my dick's in her mouth". Well quite. Also worth of mention for sheer simplicity is RazzaTheElite: "I'd tap that." Indeed.

Next up are everyone's favourite surreal comedians after Morecambe and Wise and Vic and Bob, The Mighty Boosh. Flashlight was lucky enough to have attended the Future Sailors Tour, and can confirm that it was dead funny. The clip is taken from the upcoming DVD, which we shall be reviewing imminently..

Not actually new, but we got an email from the good folks at Jagjaguwar to say that Wolf People are the first British rock band to be signed by them. Which is high praise indeed. You can listen to a taster of their forthcoming Tidings LP called 'October Fires' here, which is a natty piece of distorted blues mixed with just a pinch of Creedence and a hint of Merseybeat. The video is of an older tune of theirs, 'Tiny Circle', which contains surely the best flute based riff since the Beasties' 'Flute Loop'. Though it is also the first flute based riff I can think of since the Beasties' 'Flute Loop', so make of that what you will. Either way, they sound like one to watch.

We'll leave you with a quite spectacular piece of techno wizadry from Egadz, who we discovered via that most underrated medium of him requesting one of our brothers as a MySpace friend. Either way, he, and this tune, are brilliant. Check out more of his stuff here. Till next time..
