Tales From the Middle of Nowhere (Vol. 2): Where I Get Hammered at the Brit Awards

Posted: 24/02/2012 10:59

Yes...

Well... Can't remember when the last time was we spoke... To be honest I'm having trouble remembering anything after the Brits! What a smash up!! Well enjoyed it. It'll probably be the last time I ever get nominated so we were pretty determined to rip it a new arsehole, and from what I can gather we had a right good crack at it too.

It's all got a bit too slick that thing now though, it's treated with a bit too much respect, if you ask me... It is but a TV show with a few awards carved up and spread around... And if I'm not very much mistaken did I detect the faint whiff of a few wrong 'uns miming? I think I did... You know who you are and you should be ashamed of yourselves. I digged Coldplay though, and Blur and Olly Murs' dancers!! (Blimey!!!)

As for what went on after? Reports are still coming in. I remember going to a party on a boat.
I remember going to another party in a posh gaff in the West End. I remember getting that comedian Rob Brydon to do his thing for us (which was fuckin' funny). I remember... well not much else, to be honest.

Called it a day at about 10am!! Proper old school business. Didn't get home until 5pm the next evening and I'd somehow managed to nick a giant shoe and ended up with an £8000 watch!!! And I don't even wear a watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Felt as bad as I've ever felt yesterday. I was seriously thinking of phoning in sick.
I needn't have worried though. Last night's gig here in Newcastle was mega... Might have been the best one yet. Had a top laugh with the crowd. A great night. If you were there, I thank you.

ONWARDS.

GD.

This front page featured opinion from a Brit pop brat of yonder, who notoriously likes to pick fights and drink heavily in lieu of artistic achievements, comes off as a badly written beer burp that belongs in the comment section. And even here, it's a bit below par, and would probably linger in moderation limbo forever.

I think "respectful" is the wrong word, Noel. Can't you remember how "respectful" the Brits was in the late 80s / early 90s? My favourite Brits was the one (1994?) in which Björk and PJ Harvey performed I Can't Get No Satisfaction. Amazing performance, but the venue was almost as subdued as a BAFTA ceremony, and that would be unthinkable today. I think the Brits took on a cool factor towards the end of the 90s, and has been in decline ever since. It's not getting "respectful". It's just getting less cool.
