I prefer the term 'magic beans'. But please don't forget to send the virgins or it will be a most uncomfortable night!
NME Awards/Grumpy Old Man? Page 3
They're on their way!
I've sent them in a special bus.
I hope by that you don't mean a special needs bus?
Well...
You didn't specify a mental age requirement?
I assure you they're all over 16.
When I was young the NME was so pretentiously poncey - a bit like a (slightly) musical Guardian. Melody Maker and Sounds were much better but you don't have any choice now.
I never bought Melody Maker and I did not like it when they turned into a glossy 'sunday paper magazine' style thing.
I'm too young to remember Sounds.
JESUS! Who remembers Select?! I loved that magazine!

I do - and the Face. I've got issue number 1 which should be worth a few quid.
Oh the Face was excellent!
Poncey, but ace.
Quote: Aaron @ March 1, 2008, 9:42 AMThey have their MOBOs, so maybe it's an unwritten banishment from other ceremonies?
The funniest thing about the MOBOs is the way the organisers get the most random Z-list celebs, to come on and read out the nominations/winners. There's so few proper black celebs in this country, that they end up inviting people who hardly anyone has heard of, or who haven't been on T.V. for years.
Gary Wilmot?
I rarely bought the NME, but I think it was at its best when you couldn't understand it. When the writers all wanted to be Lester Bangs.
Aw, Phillip Seymour Hoffman... (I know there was a real Lester Bangs too, but I prefer Phillip's.) He had some brilliant lines in that film.
The award that was truly deserved (apart from the Manics Godlike award) was the Best Live Act going to Muse.
I don't like HOffman in real life he comes off as a pretentious ass.
But I can't deny he's a fine actor.

At the very start it was mainly music plus a bit of style but then it went the other way.
