many of those NME bands are so bad at the moment that it's very funny. a golden age of wilful stupidity and bad taste, like when people thought that Yes might be the future...
(applauds)
but that aside- i'm not sure what's the more boring, the mercury or moaning about the mercury...even the nme does that (or it did when i last read it 3 years ago....it was so heartwrenching giving up buying that rag, i'd been buying it since i was 13.....i digress) and y'know, they did give dizzee a prize, and erm simon frith's written a couple of good books....oh bollocks even i can't be bothered to defend it
anyway a friend of mine goes out with one of the go team, so i hope they get it as she might get some cash out of it and buy me a drink
