Too much Radio 5 Live

Sat watching The Brits in the week - my annual attempt to get a little more in touch with contemporary music.

I'm not embarrassed to admit to being a fan of Girls Aloud (who couldn't love Cheryl), Take That (see you at Wembley in June boys), Coldplay and James Morrison.

But just as I was enjoying watching the show, and poor Kylie's attempt to look natural on stage (had she modelled herself on Sam Fox in 1989?), bands started to appear that I had never heard of. Ever. And there were lots of them... Seasick Boy, Elbow, Santogold, MGMT, Beth Rowley, Elbow.

Clearly I need to start listening to more than Radio 5 Live.
