The Bloody Brit Awards

Oh dear, oh dear, oh deary me...what has happened to this world we live in? All I will say is if Keanes album is the best of the year and Robbie Williams "Angels" in the best song in 25 years, I'm a Dutchman.

Oh how I wish people would not simply accept the music that record companies decide is good enough for us and have a little bit more interest in the music that is going on in the local area. There are loads of good bands playing in Glasgow just now (eg. The Flying Matchstick Men, The Multiplies, Kasule etc) and unless they get massive record deals and are played on radio1 no one will ever hear them, and that would be a tragedy.

Nice to see Franz Ferdinand win a couple of awards but I must say I prefered them when they were a top Glasgow "indie" band and not the media monsters that they have become, but I suppose thats what happens when you get signed.
