That joke isn’t funny any more…

Surely this is all a big joke?

With a song that sounds like it was written for a junior school competition and then performed by Catherine Tate I find it incredibly hard to believe that Kate Nash is an artist with material to take seriously. And yet she’s somehow on the ‘play once every show’ playlist at Radio 1 and has even made it onto the 6music playlist… Is her dad high up at the BBC? When will this current slew of regionally accented not-singing-not-rapping-just-talking talentless kids be recognised and dropped by the powers that be in media-land? What’s happening? Clearly I don’t get it. Am I alone or does anyone else experience revulsion at the sound of her burbling “…cos they are much fit-ter”? Someone please explain!

Does anyone know anyone who actually likes this stuff? Or are we all too old?

The track in question is on inexplicably heavy rotation on Radio1 and 6Music. I don’t get it at all and have put it down to some kind of label-payola-conspiracy. Surely it can’t actually be popular? It’s so very very bad!
