"Saturday night, I watched channel five, I particularly liked CSI." -- Kate Nash, 'We Get On'

Music For over a year, Guardian Unlimited has been running a New Band of the Day column in which they talk up some new singer or group. It's actually a great way for some unknowns to get a fragment of exposure, much needed in the post-John Peel world. It's also been surprisingly successful in predicting some successes. The Wombats are in there, as well as Amy Macdonald and All Angels. And, nearly a year ago when she was still with an indie label, look who's knocking about at No.20 -- it's the artist behind one of my favourite albums of the year, Made of Bricks. It's Kate Nash:

"And talk about fate. Less than a year ago the aspiring actress was rejected by the Bristol Old Vic theatre, so to cheer herself up she saw Brokeback Mountain in Harrow, where she fell down some stairs and broke her - no, not back, foot. Her mum and dad bought her a guitar, and, stuck in bed for three weeks, she wrote songs and recorded them on her laptop."

The title of this post features what might be my favourite lyric of the year. The album's full of them.
