And Now A Word…from Brandon "Jayson" Ulman
  This week it's all about Holly Valance. The sexy U.K. artist debuts at No. 1 on the album chart with State Of Mind, while its title song finally ascends to the pole position on the Track List, where second single "Desire" enters at a smashing No. 14. State Of Mind is Valance's follow-up to 2001's lesser Footprints, and is an amazingly fun disc, an '80s throwback that never sounds dated, driven by Valance's stirring sexual confidence. A nice addition to my collection. > In at No. 2 on the album list is Nellie McKay, with Get Away From Me. She has the sad fate of arriving the same week as Holly, and, great and innovative as it is, her record must play second banana, at least for now. A spunky artist whose main musical influences seem to be '50s-era jazz and modern hip-hop, McKay should likely stick around the J-SKWD charts for a while.  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
     
     
   
     
   
  Quote of the week: "...mister bushie says / I'm your president / I have lots to say / hey hey hey / and click goes the remote / there you have my vote / catchin' the next boat out of here..." -- Nellie McKay, from "David," on Columbia Records release Get Away From Me  
   
  THE END. Thank you very much.
