Expect a special halfway report later this week or start of next.

Borderline tick for Kate Nash - I quite like this and it would be a pleasant enough indie one-hit wonder type thing (do these even exist anymore ? every single band/artist seems to get to at least "difficult second album" stage before being shown the door these days) but as she is being touted as "nu-Lily" I can see her really starting to grate in a few months time.

Also a tick for Cherry Ghost because my Mum used to teach the lead singer. This song is not great but 'Mathematics' was OK, it's all a bit radio 2-friendly, I don't suspect they'll get much love round here especially if I reveal that even their band-name is taken from a Wilco song.

Cherry Ghost has indeed been playlisted by Radio 2. I don't think Wogan has played it yet though, which is the only way I'm likely to hear it.

That said, I wish The Bees' new single (also R2 playlisted) had charted instead.
