 Feeder spent most of 2000 at Great Linford Manor studios , writing and recording for their next album . The band also continued playing festivals around the country previewing the new material they were working on , such as V2000 and Glastonbury , but would end the year promoting " Buck Rogers " , their first single since November 1999 and then playing a mini @-@ tour at the end of the year to mainly showcase the new material . The release of the single on 8 January 2001 was coupled with a signing session at London 's now defunct Tower Records store and then a TV appearance on Top of The Pops before the single charted . The single charted at number five , becoming the band 's first top 10 entry in the singles chart before appearing on Top of the Pops again . " Buck Rogers " then spent a second week in the top 10 .
