I'd love to kill that Matt Willis. What a wanker, absolutely shite music to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34599 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) That Amy Winehouse thing has reminded me of something a mackem sent me. Nyron Nosworthy stood on the pitch on what I assume is Sunderland's post-season pitch celebrations, singing "They tried to take the ball past Nyron..." and then it cuts to the crowd singing "....but he said nooooo, nooooo, nooooo". It's quality. Edited July 18, 2007 by Gemmill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Who cares? It's a good song, but Extreme have been defunct for years, and they're American. I'm sure it won't be eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their opinion is irrelevent, they watch Big Brother, listen to Radio 1 and worry about who's nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 No, but seriously. What does it matter who wins? It shouldn't change anyone's opinion of them. If you like someone's music, you should and will like it regardless of any awards they get. It's not even as though any of these bands need any extra publicity or whatnot. I'd be more impressed if it was bringing bands to the attention of the general public who weren't already firmly entrenched in the popular consciousness. That's what I used to do in Fopp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get her a present but won't bother sending it home, she will just have to wait till next time i see her or my parents so that it can get dropped off.

That's what I used to do in Fopp. It doesn't matter who wins. Just thought it might make a canny discussion. I'll bet you half the people on here haven't heard of half the artists short listed. So it's serving it's purpose of giving exposure to smaller selling artists by lumping them in with popular ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
