The Brit Awards

[Hellborne]

As shite as the Brits are, over the years it has thrown up some classics moments, in particular The KLF retiring from the music industry when they played with ENT by leaving a dead sheep on the steps spraypainted with "I died for you" just before they went off and burnt a million quid. The Brits is however just a promotional device used by record labels to promote their latest production line poptart. It's not even about popularity, it's all about sales generated by having that little "Brits Nominee" or "Brits Winner" sticker on their artist's albums.

Although she is rubbish, Lady Ga GA was number one in the hit parade for a couple of weeks ago before Lily Allen knocked her off the top spot.

I get free tickets and went along for the first time last year. It was mainly industry types being nobbers but you can't beat Paul McCartney. He was awesome and could play in the worst venue in the world and make it amazing.

kindoff glasto themed - could glasto get a british festival award? (is there one?) and if so, could eavis be there to collect, and if so, could he announce the headliners - incl the fourth one? oh the suspense!!

There isn't an award I don't think. And as Neil will shortly announce, any award in that kind of genre is pointless

So many dirty phrases to be made from that

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

Arrrgghhh Glasto wasn't even mentioned once from what I heard, it was labled as a 'Summer theme'. Maybe I'm just gutted that they didn't spend a couple of hours banging on about Glastonbury & the fact that The Pyramid stage didn't have a little beacon at the top. lol

I agree with the earlier poster, The Pet Shop Boys in 2000 was AMAZING! I will never forget the whole of the field with their arms in the air dancing to 'Go west', one of my fave fstival moments ever. I would be very happy if they played this year.

It would take something very very special on one of the other stages not to be there!

[jollynolly]

Gutted they didn't do Rent as part of the medley.

There were absolutely no surprises last night
