Amidst the autumn gig fever I’d be surprised if there’s spare change in your pockets to pick up any of this week's singles but, for the spendthrifts amongst us, here are some of the aural extravagances you can look forward to, you Rockefeller you.

Cloud Nothings’ latest offering, Hey Cool Kid, seems to be faring well online but on first listen I was in two minds. The catchy intro kicks in like a muffled Go Team track and is both fun and forboding in the same instance. There’s a certain surf element to this track so a bit repetitive in that respect, yet it’s much more substantial than most of the 60s influenced lo-fi we’ve been hearing of late. The catchy little guitar hook keeps your attention throughout and on second listen I warmed to this much more, it’s unfortunate then that Dylan Baldi (the man behind the moniker) makes the hamfisted decision to fade to end. The B-side shifts further away from Cloud Nothings' lo-fi beginnings with a rich sound not dissimilar in style to The Strokes. …

6 Day Riotannounce new single "All I Need" + new School of Seven Bells track "Babelonia", Midnight Juggernauts album stream and thoughts on New Pornographers' "Together" in This Music Wins weekly round-up.

1) Take your top 10 played tracks.
2) Check the artists' page to see what # in popularity that song is.
3) Add it all up. The higher you score above 150, the more unique music you listen to. If you score less than 150, you just listen to what's popular.

Bella – Oceans Blue #20
6 Day Riot – Emmanuel #13
Midnight Juggernauts – Road To Recovery #4
Rob Dougan – Clubbed To Death #4
30 Seconds to Mars – The Kill #3
Lolita Ritmanis – Justice League Theme #5
Shirley Walker – Batman: The Animated Series Theme #72
Adam Panic – Buy Me Out #1
Linkin Park – [[My<DSMBR]] #65
Shuntaro Okino – Cloud Age Symphony #1

Total = 188

Well, I like that this does measure whether you just listen to one hit wonders, but I think that some of these artists (Adam Panic) are so obscure that all their songs are tied for #1. Me only scoring one for Adam Panic seems to be counter to the point of this quiz.
