Simple things please the simplest of people, and in our case it really couldn’t be any truer. The thrill of finding £1 down the back of the sofa despite it being caked in dust and mouldy chocolate often sends us in to a spiral of glee for days on end.

Other crap we get kicks from are buy one get free offers from Asda and a game of Uno. Who needs a console named after piss and the thrill of playing tennis with your remote control? But what we do like is music. Ah yes, without the chirps and bleeps coming from the office stereo, we’d actually have to talk to each other. Instead, when communication is needed, we just tap away on MSN to each other and display our emotions in the form of :- ) :- ( or :-------------------------. Work the last one out for yourself. 2007 saw a lot of music come, go, get laughed at or just plain confuse us.

Just like sitcoms when they run out of ideas run one week, we're going back in time to look at some of our favourite moments from last year. 

Silent Night, Away In A Manger and Oh Come All Ye Faithful are the traditional songs that annoying children will sing to you if you are dumb enough to answer your door at any given frozen night about this time of year.

We don’t like these songs very much, they're not very energetic and quite frankly they're not worth giving any money to. But will carol singers sing on our door for free? Will they bollocks. Because we’re miserable old bastards and wish death and destruction over Christmas instead of peace, love and bird flu-free turkey, we thought we’d give you some very nontraditional Christmas music. There’s nothing like roasting chestnuts over a fire whilst listening to the relaxing beats and melodies of Polish Drum & Bass artist Bogdan Raczynski. Polish!

Bah, it's cold, wet, dark and the high street has an unusually high amount of charity representatives asking us for money, even though we barely have enough of our own to buy our friends and family anything better then a box of Lego for Christmas.

Because it's winter we thought we’d calm the mood down a little and bring you some music that everyone can relax to, At first we were looking for some kind of Sigur Ros meets Explosions In The Sky style band that results in some sort of ridiculously gorgeous musical offspring. But then again that might be a little bit boring. This was until we came across The Sky This Night.

We like Stars a lot.

Not only do they have lyrics that almost tell some sort of narrative and paint pretty pictures in our mind, but they've thankfully go the right kind of vocalist to transfer this over to the audience as well. Not once, but twice. Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan have the sort of mesmerising voices that we could easily listen to all night. Their mix of dark moody electronics combined with an uncomplicated backdrop of indie is simple and oh so effective.

We head over to Scandinavia – a place we have visited on previous occasions - to bring you this week’s offering. In particular we are looking at this Danish artist Jong Pang who is, um, amazingly from Denmark. 

Like the majority of people who aren’t from this a particular part of the world – or maybe it's just the ignorant English - we don’t know much about Danish music. Well, that is a lie. Remember the Danish bacon advert? A stone-cold classic in the making and one that was never given a proper release. Every time we munch on a bacon roll the song enters our minds. So fingers crossed that the work of Jong Pong will become our new favourite Danish sound, relegating a song about slaughtered pigs into second place.

At a time when the music scene is seemingly dominated by so called girls with 'attitude' like Lily Allen and Kate Nash we strongly disagree. All they seem to do is complain that their ex-boyfriends are twats and no-one takes them seriously.

What a shame, we are almost compelled to get out our violins and attempt to

MySpace Trawl is a weekly guide to music that is exciting, fun and just so happens to tell the mainstream to fuck off.

We like to think we’re open-minded people and on this page we’ll try and cover everything from mind-bending white noise to moody-sounding guitar sounds laced with electronics and other oddities. After going on a recent bender with stuff that may not to be to everyone’s taste, this week we thought it was about time to go back to the instrument that nearly everyone loves. The good old guitar. Even supposed 'fake' music like electronica uses it, contrary to some people’s impressions. This week, we bring you Slow Club - a band that makes us smile and want to run around like morons. 

If we were to do an award ceremony for bands we feature in this feature, we would definitely consider featuring Roys Iron DNA as the winner for best band name.

Sometimes it's sad to see that a band that will use swearing in their name to gain attention. Calling yourself Shitting Robots, for example, might be funny when Zane Lowe says it on Radio 1 once, but it also automatically eliminates you from Top 40 airplay as it’s deemed to offensive. It’s a shame we weren’t in charge of the chart laws - we’d include all sorts of stuff that's not currently allowed. Not that there’s anything offensive about this week's band Roys Iron DNA, but we’d have them on constant heavy rotation on the radio nonetheless.
