Of this week's highlights and lowlights...

Snow Patrol: Open Your Eyes [Eyes Open] 33 (26) Snow Patrol - Open Your Eyes A storming track, starting off softly before blasting out all over the place, it was used during the finale of last year's ER season as a shootout left Abby collapsing in a pool of blood - but her baby was just born a little premature and she hadn't miscarried, and Kovac had been stabbed with a paralysing agent, Veck, which actually would've done little to incapacitate a big hulking bastard like him, and as we saw at the start of season 13, Kerry wandered in and saw the pair of them moments later so everything was fine after all. Anyway, back to the music and this one is superb. Miss it at your peril. Cool video as well, as it uses footage from C'ιtait un rendez-vous ("It was a date"), a short film made in 1976 by Claude Lelouch, showing an eight-minute drive through Paris at 5:30 A.M.

Kaiser Chiefs: Ruby [Yours Truly, Angry Mob] 1 (2) Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby *1st Week at No.1* Their first No.1, but compared to tracks like I Predict a Riot and Oh My God, it's distinctly pedestrian.
