Please buy my back catalogue: Paul Weller (but only between 1983 - 1989 - ESPECIALLY 1985.
Bet he didn't play a Council track...

The Paul Weller bit's the only aspect I'm looking forward to watching. If only to see which Jam tracks he forces himself to scowl angrily through...
His harsh - but fair - recent opinions on each of the previous lifetime achievement winners were excellent entertainment in themselves...
But the 24-hour delay is just bizarre. And didn't it used to be on a Tuesday night, televised on the Wednesday?
Somehow caught a little of the 'live' Radio 2 coverage tonight - shunted from too-cool-for-(anyone-who-isn't-still-at-)school Radio 1 these days... - and there was virtually nothing from the ceremony itself, just Dermot O'Dreary trying hard to catch a mumbled word with, er, James Blunt then, well, James Blunt, in between playing the original singles.
Well worthwhile, all the way around and back again... :|

Twenty-four hour delay isn't so bad, even if it is supposed to be "live". Consider tonight's fare, here in Canada, of a 2005 BBC series entitled "Cathedral" in which Winchester Cathedral is cited (twice in the first twenty minutes) as the location of William the Conqueror's coronation. My research (novel-writing process) tells me he was crowned at London in Westminster Abbey, Christmas Day 1066. His wife Matilda was hauled across the Channel to be crowned queen at Winchester in the spring of 1967. Immediately flew to computer and dashed off a query to BBC....but does anyone really CARE? I ask myself this question as I read about a time-delayed awards show. Truth and reality have become fictions.

James Blunt - described recently as the man who has become his own rhyming slang!!

Why do people think James Blunt is good? He is dire. I hear today that he claims to have been shot at more times than 50 Cent (in Kosovo. Shame they missed, it would have spared us his whining, I mean, singing.

Cheryl, what kind of state was Matilda's body in, after she waited 901 years? I agree, it's shocking how long you had to wait for a ferry in the 11th century!
Aidan, NOW I find out it was on Radio bloody 2 last night! I had Radio 1 on for the early part, when Scott Mills was there, but then, while the award ceremony was actually happening, it just wasn't mentioned, so I turned off. The only place to follow it was on News 24 and the red button text service. DG's right, it is pathetic. There isn't even a live webcast, which would be easy for them to do.
As for the fat skinhead, I can sympathise with Buster Bloodvessel's impatience, still waiting for the Outstanding Contribution award. It can only be a matter of time...

Awards? Pah. Self-important parades of backslapping and a total waste of everyone's time. And the bigger the award the more strongly I hold that opinion. Oscars? Don't get me started on the Oscars...

Why only an Urban Act? Why no Rural Act (..and the winners are..The Wurzels). Why no Suburban Act? (and the winner is....Margo Leadbetter) Why no 'Swampy marshland unsuitable for agriculture or development Act'? (and the winner is...the coastal fringe of much of Essex) Why no 'Better Give Robbie An Award Because He Always Gets One' Award? (and the winner is...Gary Barlow) It's reaching a point where this event's reputation is really tarnished by the narrowness of its musical focus.
Ah well, soon be the Oscars..."and the winner for best actress in a supporting animated, foreign language, documentary is .....James Blunt" Hoo bleedin rah.

What's the deal with the Blunt antipathy? Now granted I had the benefit of hearing the album minus the all-senses media assault and accompanying whiney life story you apparently got in the U.K. (he is virtually unknown in the U.S.) but that said, I found the album to be a nice folk/pop album with some interesting lyrics; reminiscent of Neil Young or even early Dylan. Why is he so hated? Is it just the bludgeon-the-public-to-death overexposure?

Noelbear, I'm with you. I really like James Blunt as well. It's just the British tall poppy syndrome. We hate it when people become successful. The problem I have with James Blunt and the Brits is him being in the Pop category (and then winning it), which isn't his fault. It's ridiculous - that category should have been won by McFly, Girls Aloud or Sugababes, but even the nominations were dodgy.

Blimey, they didn't cut out the fat skinhead stage invasion!
Not that I'm watching, obviously...

A very special 'hello' to all the record company executives who've just arrived here from Page 2 of Friday's Guardian.

Of which I'm not one, I just popped in to say 'how fu'king good was Prince on the Brits?' Showed everyone up. I switched off after Madonna's claim to be influenced by Elvis Costello, I couldnae take much more crap.

Why on earth was Chris Evans presenting it again? His best line of the evening was something that was obvious and cheap but still easily the best thing he came out with was "Have you ever slept in a Hilton?". The whole programme was an anti-climax.
And James Blunt should be gagged. I muted the tv everytime he appeared. Hopefully he will stay in America for the next year and drive them crazy instead.
