Play It Cool in June

I'm feeling pretty smug this month. In the past couple of weeks I've bought nine new CDs, a couple of singles, and still had change from a twenty pound note. The best places in town for bargains in my experience are Borderline on Gardner Street and the Record Fairs at Brighton Centre (next fair - Sunday 28th August), if you know where to look and what you're looking for. Here's my pick of the bunch for this month:

• Joy Zipper - The Heartlight Set (Mercury)
• Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain (Mute)
• Do Me Bad Things - Yes! (Atlantic)
• Katy Rose - Because I Can (V2)
• Brakes - Give Blood (Rough Trade)
