Wow! thanks for posting that, p, as I'm sure I'd have missed it otherwise, but now there'll at least be one broadcasting highlight of Christmas day for me.

Martha was nominated for a Juno.
New Artist Of The Year.

On the Juno website it says:

"Part ingénue, part punkster, strong and vulnerable all at once, with a hugely expressive voice and an arsenal of powerful songs, Wainwright delivers it all with her self-titled debut. And who can be surprised with her family heritage - daughter of folk legends Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, sister of Rufus."

I don't think she has much of a chance, but you never know...
