NME Awards
I thought I would give the NME Awards a little mention as I get most of my influences in music from the NME magazine.
The bands mentioned and who won at the event will be at the majority of festivals over the summer. Below is a list of the main awards and the winners.....
Godlike Genius: The Cure
Best British Band: Oasis
Best International Band: The Killers
Best Solo Artist: Pete Doherty
Best New Band: MGMT
Best Live Band: Kings of Leon... Only by the Night!!!
Best Track: MGMT 'Time to Pretend'
Best Live Event: Glastonbury 2008
There were other awards that don't really mean anything music wise like...
Worst Dressed: Amy Winehouse and Villain of the Year: George W Bush that I thought I wouldn't mention...aagh well I have now!!!!
However the main news from the awards is that The Libertines will be getting back together soon and hopefully for good as they are one of my favourite bands.
Blur band mates Graham Coxon and Damon Albarn got on stage for a performance giving their fans a teaser for their festival appearances in the summer.
The NME Awards is on channel 4 as I am writing this blog so you may miss it, however you can probably catch up on channel 4 on demand and see some of the live appearances by elbow and the cure to mention a few...
Keep listening...
