steantval Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Attended and performed by the usual bunch of dickheads who think swearing and making totally ridiculous comments when receiving their awards is really clever. NOT Big chief dickhead (Pete Docherty) obviously thought it was "cool" to sit there smoking, somebody should have rammed the fag up his ar*e. They also brought out the local looney in the form of Grace Jones, why doesn't that woman grow up? She's only best known for slapping the chatshow host Russell Harty with her handbag many years ago. Elbow started the show and were very good, from then on it went quickly downhill. It should be renamed the NME INDIE AWARDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protium Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 In all seriousness, did you expect any different? A popular music magazine that writes about current popular music? Shock horror I've never heard Elbow described as "good" before, made me chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 That's what pop stars are for. I think Pete Doherty's great value entertainment, personally. I wouldn't want him on my pub quiz team or as my climbing buddy or whatever, but as a pop star he's just right. I don't understand why people get so angry with him. It's like getting angry at the animals in the zoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noisedude Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 And I think it's time to reclaim the term 'indie'. NME can't have it any more, they promote money-making mainstream pop rock and fashion styles to teenagers. The indie scene in its truest sense is stronger than ever, sites like Myspace, Garageband, Purevolume, Soundclick etc have made it possible for anyone to get their music out there - and a lot of it is very good. 'Indie' in the sense of wearing girls jeans, wearing your guitar around your neck and playing a spiky four-note riff for two minutes while shrieking is an abuse of the term.

Buzz Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I thought this was either going to be about NME awarding an achievement to Garbage, or them actually handing a bag of rubbish to a band who had "worst album/worst song of the year". Shame they can't even do either of those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in 1978. After a while you realise the NME's [i]always[/i] going to be a bunch of self-important, no-hoper style plagiarists w*nking themselves into a frenzy over a band they'll be savaging 6 months later. The music press is a swaybacked harlot with a propensity for licking toilet floors. And that's the good side of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouMa Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 pete docherty came into a taxi office when me and one of my female friends were trying to get a cab from camden.I really am not exagerating the guy was a real mess he stunk of body cheese and piss i was nearly sick,he comes across in interviews as an alright sort of bloke but he will certainly not be coming round to mine for tea after that. The woman in the cab office looked as offended as us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golchen Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 As a teen I HATED NME, the sh*te music it promoted, and its self proclaimed importance. Since I grew up I don't care, but for me they still promote sh*te music. I was 100% a SOUNDS reader. And then Kerrang after that, before it became asswipe fodder.

She's not quite there yet, but she's heading that way. Ah, dickhead Docherty used to go out with one of those catwalk freaks, Kate Moss.
