Play It Cool in January

Another busy month for music, I've been listening to tons of stuff in recent weeks, in fact it's been quite hard to narrow my list down to just five CDs. But I have, and here they are:

• Hot Hot Heat - Elevator (Sire)
• Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (Wichita)
• Bird - The Insides (Ice Cream)
• We Are Scientists - With Love And Squalor (Virgin)
• Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine (Epic)
