What am I listening to this week?
These are the tunes that are irritating the population of London on various Tube journeys at various times of day this week:
1. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (Gaga, Ooh La La!)
2. Alexandra Burke - Broken Heels (damn the X Factor)
3. Chicane - Hiding All The Stars (Gary Numan's cars with a new female vocal - oh yes!)
4. Calvin Harris - Flashback
5. Madonna - Celebration (Benassi Mix) - nasty!
6. Beyonce - If I Were A Boy (Karmatronic Remix)
7. Lily Allen - The Fear (Stonebridge Remix)
8. Kings of Tomorrow - Finally (Acapella mix from Shakedown 2 - a monster!)
9. Tiesto/Calvin Harris - Century (Hello? Can you hear me??)
10. Lady Gaga vs Marilyn Manson - Love Game (Chew Fu Ghettouhouse Fix) - yes, that's right lady Gaga AND Marilyn Manson. Whoah!

NEWS ABOUT CHEQUE PAYMENTS
Member payments are currently being heavily delayed by the Postal Strikes affecting the UK. The time taken to receive cheques is varying considerably but (puts on foil hat for the conspiracy theorists) please note that the Dooyoo team is not purposefully delaying payment, nor is the site about to go bust. Please remember also that sending them a shitty email every day will not influence their ability to push your cheque through the postal system.
As an alternative, members might wish to consider ordering Amazon vouchers (not affected by the post) or waiting until after Christmas (the post between now and then is going to be slow). In either case, a sensible dosage of patience is also probably a good idea.

Hey! I'm Phil and I'm generally quite odd. I'm also the co-guide for Music, which doesn't mean I'm important or anything, but does mean that if you need any help with the category I might be able to help. Feel free to leave me a message.
I can't say that I'm a music academic but I know what I like and I like what I know and I love reading and learning about new music. I'm also not one for musical snobbery (as evidenced by my personal tastes, ahem) so it's your writing that will impress me, not your choice of subject matter. Reviews that focus on every track on an album individually don't generally fall into the 'impressive' category for me, but that doesn't mean they can't be very useful if they're done very well.
I've decided not to leave comments explaining ratings on reviews. If you'd like me to explain something about a rating that I have left, then please send me a private message and I'll do my best to explain. A wise person once said that 'feedback is a gift', but on Dooyoo, this generally only applies on request.
When rating reviews, please don't be intimidated by members who react very badly to anything less than a very useful rating. These hysterical reactions are, thankfully, very few and far between and above all else, this should be a community that thrives on interaction and feedback. The Dooyoo team recently advised us that 95% of reviews here are being rated very useful, which just can't be right, and a more honest, realistic approach to rating is required.
If you're new to Dooyoo, can I recommend that you spend a little time reading around and seeing what other writers have to say? It might give you a few ideas about how to get the most out of the site and (trust me), you'll soon be glad you did.
