Re: NME Awards

John Peel award for musical innovation - The Others! are they being ironic?

Re: NME Awards

oh my god...

someone please bomb their offices...

i like the others by the way, purely for the sincerity of his "chika chikow". Nice.

Re: NME Awards

oh christ, have you seen the award statuettes? it's beyond words...

have they turned american? only that would explain the lack of ironic sentiment in such bollocks...

Re: NME Awards

But, but, but they're the...

GREATEST AWARDS CEREMONY IN THE WORLD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!


IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!













EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: NME Awards

Are you sure? perhaps we should commission Q magazine to do a top-100 survey and find out.

Re: NME Awards

The man must be turning in his grave. I assume they got the award for their guerrilla gigs and the like, not that that justifies it.

Re: NME Awards

It's as if they invented the award just because they had nothing else to give the Others.

Next up: Best Band called The Libertines Award.

Re: NME Awards

Shit, suspsense is killing me...

Re: NME Awards

Amusing that on the Awards site, there's the Godlike Genious award (sic)...


Re: NME Awards

then there's Best Band Influenced By The Libertines, Best Band Dressed Like The Libertines, Best Band To Support The Libertines, and Best Band To Deny Any Similarities With The Libertines.

and that's before they even get onto the Doherty-related shit.

god bless democracy.

Re: NME Awards

i love the others and think they deserve every award they get.

why were they not nominated for any Brits or Grammys? It does not matter as Dominic and his crew should have just stormed the stage, nicked all the awards and given them to all the homeless people in London

Now THAT'S for the poor....CHICACHICACHICOWWWWWW!

Re: NME Awards

Best Website: NME.com

fabulous!

Re: NME Awards

please please please tell me you are joking...please

Right there in black and white. Besides, you probably couldn't make up something that ridiculous.

Re: NME Awards

dear god...

now i am actually going to spit in the tea of anyone i see reading that utter shite.

Re: NME Awards

good god, that may be the worst piece of self-congratulatory bollocks since that bit Julia Roberts bit in Ocean's Twelve....it's shockingly bad.

Re: NME Awards

It's awful, why didn't they just go the whole hog and have a Best Magazine category as well.

Remember when the NME awards (or the Brats as they were known) were an alternative to the Brit Awards? Not much difference now, is there?

Re: NME Awards

Unrelated to anything here other than the misspelling of genius but, I saw a note down the student union today offering a proof reading service to:

"corret spellings..."

Nearly as good as the clairvoyant who had to cancel a book signing at my local waterstones because of "unforseen circumstances"

Re: NME Awards

What are Razorlight doing winning ANYTHING??

Re: NME Awards

Busted won worst album, does that mean alot of NME readers bought a copy?

Re: NME Awards

Excatly, how can you judge an album if you've never heard it?

Granted, it may well be a shit album but im not stupid enough to vote for something i've never heard.

Morons!

Re: NME Awards

Excatly / Exactly IS a tricky one though, isnt it?


...


guys?

Re: NME Awards

I voted for Busted's album being shit. I've never heard it, but I don't fucking care. Its obviously going to be shite. I'm angry they got worst band though.... I voted Maroon 5.

Re: NME Awards

im amused to see that none of the bands i voted for won anything!
did anything vaguely interesting yet half predictable happen like libertines reformed and carl(os) and pete(r) got back together and told the world of fashionistas theyre brothers again?

Re: NME Awards

actually i voted for graham coxon, he deserved his award. he is a genious.

Re: NME Awards

yes. he sticks out like a sore thumb.

Re: NME Awards

I lost what little respect I had for Coxon when I saw him wanking over Docherty/LIbertines the other night on the telly

What the fuck was he talking about..most important band in the last twenty years cos they left bum notes in...fucking ridiculous

Re: NME Awards

None of the things I wanted to vote for were even shortlisted...

Re: NME Awards

NME=crap

Re: NME Awards

Im a huge fan of The Others and believe that they did deserve to win that award!
Also I think its extremally stupid that Busted won the worst album award when there are people such as the chheky girls churning out "music". The only reason NME readers dont like Busted is coz they think Busted were trying to be rock-which, by the way they weren't and they never said that they were.

But yeah-the whole awards were a load of bollocks really.
