SMOOOOOOOSH!

Simple as winking this one, it's a top top day, so let's enjoy it with the help of two of the happiest songs I've ever cocking well heard.

The Retro Spankees are beautifully plinky plonky noisy noisy with the twee turned up to 11, which is just fine and dandy if you ask me, and 586 are the latest indie-pop upstarts to make their mark on all things musical and more - much more - with some well placed whelpin', screamin', shoutin', bangin' and beepin' and stuff.

Whether you're really, really small, or not a monkey, or... not, these songs will make your day whizzo along that little bit more smartly, and with a springier spring in your step. And as the sweet baby Jesus tells us, you can ask for much more than that.

Get The Retro Spankees frankly wonderful album I Know You Are But What Am I? on Kooky Records from here, and 586's mighty debut single We Got Bored, released on TigerTrap on 22nd of May - best bet is to get it straight from the label, or London's more exclusive vinyl boutiques apparently. And see them both live whenever you can, because a little bit of happiness makes your bits bigger. Or something.

SMOOOOOOOSH! = the sound of my brain melting. Sweet.
