I think it's time for possibly the last in 2013 of my almost-regular round-ups of the newer music that has caught my ear. I will of course ignore the latest from the saintly Mrs Knowles-Carter, whose album has hit the headlines this week, as I don't like her; and also dear Robbie Williams (his second go at swing music is a bit half-arsed) and dear Sophie Ellis-Bexter (whose new album generally sounds a bit miserable).

I think we deserve a bit of eye candy after that - and who better to provide it than a pair of Scandinavians in their scanties, calling themselves Man Meadow? The song's quite good, too:
And finally... speaking of totty, apparently this Andrew Christian video featuring her song Take It Like A Man was sent to Cher as a gift. She liked it so much she posted it on her YouTube site:
As ever, enjoy - and let me know what you think!
