Our thereotically weekly round-up of the best things of now.

1 Marina And The Diamonds' Hollywood Now, we're fairly sure Marina was in all those hot tip lists last year, but everyone's pretending she wasn't and tipping her for success in 2010. Her 20th (at LEAST) single Hollywood is the one to do it, coming on like ABBA trying to break America and throwing in some "what? Little old me?" lines about looking like Catherine Zeta Jones and Shakira. Album The Family Jewels in all good stores on Monday.

2 Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service Jarvis continues his campaign to become the next great national treasure and does his best Bob Harris for us all on a Sunday Afternoon. If Ver Tories do get rid of 6 Music along with anything else on BBC that isn't Murdoch/Mail-approved, we will personally walk into 25 Victoria Street, SW1 and start shooting, like a John Woo flick with a Wes Anderson soundtrack.

3 Saint Etienne's Like A Motorway Sometimes it can take you ages to work something out. HP stands for Houses of Parliament, Team Bath is a joke as well as a team name, and the arrow in Amazon's brand goes from A to Z. ALSO that Like A Motorway is based around Kraftwerk's Autobahn. The hints are all there. The chord pattern, the bass and yes THE TITLE. But for some reason it was only just this morning that the penny dropped. And it's such a lovely song that, like whenever we hear Harlem Shuffle, we regret ever so slightly that it is not Jump Around, we'll always rue the fact that Autobahn doesn't feature Cracknell.

4 Ben Frost's By The Throat VICIOUS avant garde noise, cinematic and grand and as big as architecture. Australian via Finland noisemaker Ben Frost has made a soundtrack to lose your mind to. Reminds us of David Thewlis in Mike Leigh's Naked. That good.

5 The Besnard Lakes' Albatross Don't be alarmed, it's not an alt.country take on Fleetwood Mac's bluesy noodle; instead this teaser for the Montreal crew's third album is a shinier MBV, dusted with soaring vocals, shivering guitars and hooks to warm the spine. And you can download it for free now or get it on 12" on Monday. Choose a side in the digital/analogue war.
