This week just gone

Sunday, traditional day for a look-back at the week on No Rock and Roll Fun.

The ten most-accessed individual pages were:

1. Presumably inspired by her naked PETA pics, people were visiting the Jamelia page
2. ... and then for the legendary Heather Mills McCartney nude calendar
3. Lily Allen wasn't really dancing with her tits on display on board the Eurostar
4. ... but sadly, you could see McFly waving their cocks about
5. The ever-popular 'are KT Tunstall's songs about lesbianism and/or her?' debate
6. Mariah Carey: yes, in Playboy. No, not naked
7. Live coverage of the Brits: Anything could happen, but... didn't
8. Grammys awarded: Blunt gets bum's rush
9. Seventy million well spent? The Police reunite
10. R Kelly's sex video to be played in open courts: a 2006 story

Away from naked pop stars and glittering awards ceremonies, the big stories this week included Cheryl Tweedy supposedly pulling her reality series; the first night of the The Long Blondes tour; a first listen to the new Dinosaur Jr single; the not-entirely surprising discovery that illegal filesharing doesn't affect sales; Robbie Williams checking into a spa ("rehab") and Tony Wilson announcing he has cancer.

Five years ago this week, Epitonic users suggested indie music and pornography were similar (not because both are popular with paranoid virgins); Elton John appeared on Newsnight to condemn his own Best Of collection and the whole music-as-cornflakes approach of the music industry; South Mendip Council made it a licence condition for Glastonbury that it had to invite Mean Fiddler to run the logistics; the secret of Tim Burgess' new high voice was revealed, and Oasis announced the Hindu Times. Oh, yes, and Radio One "rested" John Peel for a month, which we suggested might have been a dry run for ways to replace him.

You can read all the stories from the week on one page,
or skim the week before in one post.

And during the week, we tried to flog you some of this stuff from our little suitcase:

The Makes Nice. Cristo at Harmony in my Ears says they're "liberally looting the pop style of British invasioners like The Creation; this trio punctuates the ruckus with emphatic harmonies and guitar breaks to make your legs quake."
