Extra ticks

Robin Thicke - this is really lovely! Like if Justin laid off the sechsy. Awww. Not quite mum-pop but close.

Wombats - lively intro and slightly-above-annoying-threshold vocal, but ultimately botherd.

Enemy, Cherry Ghost and Scouting For Girls - what a waste of bandwidth.

I had heard the Kate Nash before - borderline non-tick due to my inner Nash turmoil (ie I should approve in principle but I don't want to hear this again). The music and melody are fine (though nothing particularly astounding) but her vocal delivery totally spoils the brew. Aiee.

Had a proper listen to the Timbaland - the synth reminds me of Salt n Pepa's 'Push It'. Lex is right about the rave bleeps but they're not good enough to hold my interest right now, what with this bland melody/video/lyrics/god I'm boring myself here.

Bloody hell, Bon Jovi have 'Living On A Prayer' on their myspace! That seems so... weird! They would have to pull off something spectacular for me to tick a ballad of theirs though, however mum-ified I have become. I am still a little flabberghasted that Bon Jovi have a myspace at all.
