Take aim...

sun city girl 01.17.2007 04:47 AM

boring... but i hope lily allen wins something.

sonicl 01.17.2007 04:49 AM

It's rather sweet that Cat Power is in the International Female Solo Artist category, but she ain't gonna win, she's only there to try to give the awards some credibility.

I'd like to see SY in the International Group category. Although it's more likely that some dimwit would put them in for International Breakthrough.

porkmarras 01.17.2007 04:52 AM

How many 'outstanding contribution to music' awards can Oasis be nominated for?

sonicl 01.17.2007 04:54 AM

And what exactly is their contribution to music anyway?

(That was a bit of a cheap shot wasn't it?)

porkmarras 01.17.2007 04:55 AM

I beg your pardon?

sonicl 01.17.2007 05:01 AM

I said:

"AND WHAT EXACTLY IS THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC ANYWAY?"

and I then admitted that that was a bit of cheap shot.

porkmarras 01.17.2007 05:08 AM

Calm down.

sonicl 01.17.2007 05:14 AM

Hey? You didn't hear the first time, so I said it again louder. There was nothing to calm down about.

There is now though. You've made me angry again.


Grrr.

jon boy 01.17.2007 05:22 AM

porkmarras 01.17.2007 05:23 AM

jon boy 01.17.2007 05:25 AM

i was reffering to the brits but i suppose it could be applied to you two as well.

sonicl 01.17.2007 05:29 AM

Hey, Porky, do you want to be Sam or Mick?

porkmarras 01.17.2007 05:39 AM

You're taller than me so i'll be Sam and you'll be Mick.

sonicl 01.17.2007 05:40 AM

You do realise that that'll mean you'll have to fancy women, don't you?

porkmarras 01.17.2007 06:04 AM

If it's only for one night.........

jon boy 01.17.2007 06:15 AM

My 15-year old niece likes them.

sonicl 01.17.2007 06:23 AM

Yes, the Kooks. I'm trying to think who else she likes.

EDIT - Oh yes, she likes Razorlight and Snow Patrol too. She's beyond saving.

sonicl 01.17.2007 06:26 AM

You Greeks and your rhetoric!

jon boy 01.17.2007 06:28 AM

Shouldn't the Artic Monkey get their lifetime achievement award already? I mean they must be going into what is at least their second year by now.

good point!

jon boy 01.17.2007 08:41 AM

and lilly allen has been around for at least a year so should be getting a contribution to the music industry award.

how drunk will charlotte church get do you think?

Washing Machine 01.17.2007 08:57 AM

You have to admit things are getting better...a few years a list like that would be unthinkable...no matter what you think of bands like Razorlight or The Kooks (personally I think Naive totally rocks) they have done a lot for bringing 'real' music back into the mainstream. I prefer people to be listening to that than say some Pop Idol finalists or some manifactured Pop group.

I wanna see Jarvis, Lily Allen, Muse and Cat Power bring home some awards...

And the lifetime achievement so belongs to the Youth (that would really make me laugh)

sun city girl 01.17.2007 10:01 AM

lifetime achievement would actually belong to the fall, but whatever.

porkmarras 01.17.2007 10:02 AM

So,if Razorlight and The Kooks have brought back 'real' music(whatever that means) where has all the 'unreal' music been disposed in?

sonicl 01.17.2007 10:16 AM

It was all sold off a stall in Walford Market.

fishmonkey 01.17.2007 11:05 AM

same old shite there then
except a different year.
total bollox

Washing Machine 01.17.2007 11:22 AM

What i mean by 'real' music is music that is written and performed by Artists not created like some assembly line Barbie doll (although there will always be an element of that). A few years ago the nominations were things like Westlife, Will Young, Atomic Kitten etc, etc. I'm not saying that bands like Razorlight, The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys are any special or remotely progressive at all. I've just noticed a significant change over the past 2 years from singing groups and pop princesses to singer/songwriters and bands dominating the airwaves, the charts and awards.
