When a Subway babe kissed my bike

Music-wise, this week sees the release of two great albums for all you rock lovers.

There's The Subways' return with All Or Nothing, the follow-up to 2005's amazing debut Young for Eternity.

So what have they been playing at for three years?

Well, the lead singer had to recover from career-threatening surgery to remove nodules on his vocal chords, there were also band and relationship issues, but thankfully all of them have been resolved, and to see them happy and making amazing rock music is awesome.

These guys and gals played a Live @ Kerrang gig during the week, and blew me away.

They have always had the ability to combine dirty riffs and scuzzy bass with complicated harmonies, but with this album they take it to new levels, and it gets a big Luke thumbs up.

If this wasn't enough, the track Turnaround is one of the best things I have heard for ages, and even on first listen had me prancing around like a kangaroo on a trampoline.

They also signed my motorbike (kindly donated by those excellent folk at Streetbike), which we are getting loads of bands to sign and then we will auction off for The Teenage Cancer Trust later in the year.

I pretended that Charlotte, the rather attractive bass player, actually put a kiss on the fuel tank for me but I think she was just being friendly. If only I had more chloroform! Check it out!

Another album worth checking out is the eagerly anticipated return of the Electro/rock/pop legend that is Beck with Modern Guilt.

Produced by Dangermouse (the genius behind Gnarls Barkley and many more!), this album is slightly more eclectic, but with added beats and electric noises adding to Beck's already impressive soundscape.

It's one that you can mellow out to but also play at a party and people will get up and dance on their hands!
