The Naomi Awards

I kept hearing people yesterday who were asking each other (and me) whether I'd be watching the Brits. My reply was a resounding 'no', for the obvious reason that I'm not interested in an event to reward a load of people whose lifestyles and commodification of musical performance have been taking the mick out of the general public's bad taste and lack of cultural discernment for all of 25 years.

I was however, pleased to read that the Naomi Awards are still going strong, with Iain Lee (general teenage funnyman in an adult's body) presenting the flipside of this experience, and pointing out the uselessness of many of those who are deemed to have 'made it' in the music business.
