VH1

I'll admit it, I watch VH1 when I'm getting ready for work in the morning. (Or, I used to until I realized one channel up on the dial is VH1 classic videos in the morning and I much prefer what they show on there)

Anyhoo, VH1 pimps these new artists using their "you oughta know" grouping...and usually I'm not that impressed with them. Cases in point: Regina Spektor (Sorry Ron, I gave her a try and I just can't dig it), Corinne Bailey Rae - what is she doing that a million other soft spoken girls with a guitar can't do?, and K.T. Tunstall...it's nothing new.

However, sometimes they get it right. Amy Winehouse, who I had read plenty about on PerezHilton.com but never heard, is one of their new "you oughta know" artists and she is the bomb biggity, for really-reals. (I mean come on, she uses the word 'fuckery' (as in, "What kind of fuckery is this?") and manages to make it sound classy! ) Also, they are pimping this kid Paolo Nutini, he's 20 and I feel like such a sucker for liking the song "New Shoes" but it's so catchy and it makes me happy...lol
