One-time DiS Records outift Kaiser Chiefs are nominated for Best New Act and Best Album.

Reading stories like this just makes you want to be run over by a lorry carrying a bulk load of next month's Uncut

I think I would actually vote Jem over U2 or James Blunt.

I think a kitten just died.

Are you saying that you just "killed a kitten" over Jem? She is quite a pretty lady, its just a strange admission on DiS.

I haven't killed any kittens directly. It's the Tinkerbell effect, y'know? Every time you vote for U2, several indie labels go under. Every time you listen to Jem's sub-Dido aural wallpaper, several small furry animals snuff it.

Re: Q nominations: Oasis storm the shortlists

What I meant was that on a lot of internet message board "killing a kitten" is a euphemism for wanking. Stemming from the age old Domo-Kun picture with the caption"every time you masturbate, god kills a kitten"

and seeing as Jem makes songs about giving head and is more than normally good looking....

M'eh

She does?
(And she is, as much as her music OFFENDS my FACE.)

Hah, it's so obvious when the lyrics are on screen like that, but somehow, I'd never cottoned on to that when hearing the track.
The dirty minx.

Re: Q nominations: Oasis storm the shortlists

That's exactly how I felt Carrotrope!

i bailed twice and tried to skip a category. when they wouldn't let me do that, i stuck a pin, hoping that the following category would actually mean something. What a fucking travesty of a poll.

Best act on the planet!!!!!
COLDPLAY
OASIS
GREEN DAY
MUSE
U2

this magazine is for oldies who desperately need to be reassured that they're not losing it. fuck me!!!!

I bet the annual CBeebies shindig would be more thought provoking

"this magazine is for oldies " Hmmmm, the last CD I bought is by the Bonsai Kittens - they are not on Q's list.

It's extremely sad that any human being in the country thinks that Don't Believe the Truth is one of the best five albums of the year.

Nearly every category has practically the same bands, it's totally retarded.

Oh my God! Mainstream bands in Q awards shocker!

Or may be those bands are the best bands on the planet at the moment. Hell i'd rather listen to those nominated albums over say, Funeral, by the Arcade Fire which many on here would have voted for.

How can Kaiser Chiefs continue to get nominated for best album. Employment has to be one of the most disappointing albums of the year. First the Mercurys start bummin it and now Q?! iTS REALLY SHIT. It pisses me rite off.

Coldplay for best live act

Muse are nominated for best live act. Have the Q readers not been to a gig in the last two years or something? I'm surprised Led Zeppelin weren't nominated for that one aswell.

i was going to cast my vote but i can't bring myself to do it. Q used to be a really good music magazine (seriously) but now it's smash hits for grown ups. i mean, how seriously can you take a magazine that devotes two pages to 'the 50 tracks you must download this month'? who the fuck has time to download 50 tracks a month? i have a life you know!
another glaring feck up was last month's issue which was apparently the british issue which contained articles on those oh so very british acts white stripes, guns 'n' roses, and, er, korn.
bring back look-in that's what i say.

"Muse are nominated for best live act. Have the Q readers not been to a gig in the last two years or something? I'm surprised Led Zeppelin weren't nominated for that one aswell"

True, the last gigs they played were the Earls Court gigs last December, but they still are one of, if not the, best live band around,despite not having played in a while. Doesn't the awards take in everything from the last year anyway?
Besides that, those nominations made me vom a little bit in my mouth.
