HOT OFF THE PRESS: Watch BRIT Awards Winners
Whilst the DiS brethren were mincing round a dank Dalston for Cadence Weapon, pop’s elite gathered like hens round a cornfeed, pecking viciously for seed at last nights BRIT AWARDS 2008. So, who went home with a contented belly?
Foo Fighters (who HILARIOUSLY quipped that they thought they were up for Newcomer) and Arctic Monkeys (who sniped at the Brit School darlings) managed to get a gut-full of crop with two awards each, whilst Girls Aloud and Leona Lewis went home hungry, the latter in spite of her four nominations.
Hosted by the Osbournes at Earl's Court, ohhh... let’s just get on with this, eh?
No. One more point. Anyone think that ‘Shine’ by Take That sounds just like a Mark Owen bastardisation of ‘Jenny & The Ess-Dog’ by Stephen Malkmus? Carrion..

Klaxons with Rihanna
could've been a lot worse (Mika with Beth Ditto for instance; now that was hideous). I guess they were just trying to do what Kylie did with Blue Monday a few years ago.
I WANT FOOTAGE
OF VIC! - MAKE IT HAPPEN
cheer up
al
Anyone else think this was...
the biggest pile of wank they'd seen for a long time.
I lasted an hour and then flicked over to Grand Designs which was really slow and boring (nothing on last week's) but still better than the Brits.
This time last year I was having lots of sex :(

*LET US WRITE A PEOM
see it works :)
Whats..
all this centre business?! I'm too hungover to make it make sense. it could send me over the edge...
Brits = SHIT but that photo of Mark Owen is pure greatness.
There was a girl
she was so nice
she commented on an article with mark owen at the top
when the centre justification is removed this won't make any sense
There was a tree
There was a plant
the plant would look at the tree
wishing to be so tall
it would never happen
The sun fell
into the sky
jools holland.
Mark Ronson won an award..
..And I didn't even know who he was till yesterday.
he's this generation's
Mike flowers pops
Arctic Monkeys
What did they actually say about Brit School to justify being cut short?
Macca
is the greatest.
it was just underwhelming
it would have been better if it had been a shambolic rubbish mess
How the fuck did Foo Fighters
win TWO awards?!
Did Kylie Win
Cause she was bauld most of last year?
Mark Ronson
is the Muzak pioneer of his generation. Sometimes producers should just be happy being producers.
And sometimes they should slit their own throats
for the good
of
humanity
and
of course
the good
of
the manatees
this leminded me of
my 6th form awards evening but with mockney accents
and our school soul band shits all over mark ronson.
didn't watch it, don't care, but
i genuinely thought that picture was a woman and stared at it for about half a minute trying to figure out who she was.
the battle of who cares less
still
shine
sounds
like
na na na nananana, nananana hey jude
WTF
