the heat seems to be turning up on Radio Play for my record in North America now , its lovely to get support for your music... watching the Mercury Music Awards I am trying to imagine how this reflects anything that is going on in music - what a dreadful and depressing line up,, you wonder how they get to these things... I for one, know, its obligatory to turn up & perform at the Ceremony, as I got the contract they make you sign.. and BURIAL couldn't even be bothered to come along, so are they in breach of contract - will the Mercury's sue - no, of-course not, its all about the money to them,,, it would be right for anyone else to sue the Mercury's though, as someone else could have had the opportunity that Burial turned down.... - its a rubbish and out-of-date record, atmospheric garage rubbish that Kraftwerk would have laughed at 20 years ago, bedroom production.... and as Elbow win, you wonder whether they really need £20,000. prize money ??.. and really is Elbow all we have ?? Where does Alison Krauss come in to all this, I thought she was American, why not have The Raconteurs, and a load of other bands -- where were people like Goldfrapp, you couldn't get away from her in the magazines this year, and yet not a birdy on the Mercury's,,, all bizarre, its obviously all an inside job, just more cynical money making from the majors... Kevin Milburn, the twat in charge of it all should be f***** strung up, the Ceremony looked so amateur, and unglamorous, it had the sheen of my local village hall about it, everything leading to an anticlimax of bombastic overblown and under talented Elbow, this is a band that makes The Specials look glamorous... (you know , as they all wear suits!).. why are lads wearing brown suits and porkpie hats, what does it mean - is it the new Uniform of the tune-bypass generation!!??? and, who, in a few years time will be residing in the same pile as all the other winners over the years , the 'where are they now bin'.. because these are records chosen by hacks and not punters or anyone who knows anything about songs or music - When Simon Cowell's X-Factor is just about the funniest most interesting and entertaining thing on TV you wonder where The Mercury's stands in all this - I reckon about nowhere.. Get Simon judging The Mercury's, you may have a show then... the only one who did anything out of it was Lauren Laverne, as she looked fantastic and glamorous, (but not in a cheesy film star catwalk manner), and thought-on-her-feet as ever.. about the only thing worth watching on it..

PIG WITH LIPSTICK

Obama could be right ?? It was a bit of a faux pas, but you gotta give it to him - he really hates Sarah Palin, and no wonder, what an absolutely reprehensible person she is - I'm trying to think what type of character she may represent in America, they must be out there somewhere ??! Wouldn't it be a terrible world if it were one populated by Sarah Palins, the ironic hilarity being her own daughter’s pregnancy out of wedlock!! She is sorta like Margaret Thatcher with even less humanity. It couldn't happen over here or in France could it ? Ignoramousnesses like Sarah Palin would try to strip women of the right to do what they like with their own bodies, and advocate running around the countryside with guns murdering animals that mean us no harm, can't protect themselves, and have fat chance of escaping the fat greasy hands that pull the triggers on them, then she uses God as an excuse for this murderous activity, as if it were in the Bible or something - they'll find something in there to fit they sick fetishness, but nowhere have I ever seen, ‘take up a gun and run around shooting anything that moves’ in any Bible, and I went to Convent School. And, on to her Politics, she has got there with bullying, Political numbleskullness masquerading as Religious Zealotry, getting many sacked who got in her way through bullying, intimidation, , and all in the name of God. You , me, and Obama, know why she has been put there, because she is Governor of about the only place left in The Americas with any money left lying beneath the ground,, it all boils down to Oil and money,,, Obama hates her, and he may be right.

and the heat is on in my Radio listings, here where its getting played - no mean feat !!
