Brit Awards 2010 Disaster
Another year, maybe a little unfair to call it another disaster, but you do have to admit that this year was pretty bad. Why?
- What was the first 30 minutes about. So slow.
- Peter Kay was not funny. Where was Ricky Gervais!
- Jonathan Ross looked like a.
- How many times do we have to see the Spice Girls on stage?
- I thought this was 30 years of the Brits? Where was the celebration?
- Sam Fox messed up her lines again!
- Fearn Cotton – did we really need those offstage interviews and commentary? Actually, do we really need Fearn Cotton?
- How many times did we need to have ‘Audio Muted’?
- Liam – classic!
- Where was Muse? Where was the rock?
- Sorry, Flo/Dizzee performance – didn’t get it
- Best Brits album of last 30 years – how did Sade get in there???
- Lady Gaga – have you noticed how she accepts awards like Prince did in the 80s?
- Well done Simon Cowell, I mean JLS
- Prince Harry – what was the face about at the end?
- Thank god for Americans – the Jay Z/Alesha Keys and Lady GaGa were brilliant
- Then again, so was Robbie

The Brit Awards 2010 – top 10 moments
‘The Posters Came from the Walls’ – why I must see this film
Somewhere along the line I completely missed this film – where the hell did it spring from? As an avid fan of Depeche Mode (well up to around 1993 at least) I used to love watching the Depeche Mode 101 flick. Now it seems to have been updated, this time fully devoted on the fans who are nuts about the band. This is so cool – I have to see this on the screen somewhere in London or else I will go nuts!
Really interesting comments in the Q&A session. Why does Depeche Mode have so many European fans?
Beyonce wins six Grammys
Great results from the Grammys last night with Beyonce picking up no less than six awards. Thank god she won something for ‘Single Ladies’ as that is such a classic tune. I remember when I first heard it and the bassline dropped for the first time, I was completely taken by surprise. And what’s with the metal hand?
Let’s hope she produces more tracks like these in the future instead of those dreary ballads.
Full list as follows:

I once interviewed Gerald when I used to work for Ministry of Sound. He’d just flown in from a gig in Berlin, was an absolute legend and completely down to earth. A really nice…er Guy!
What a tune. If anyone knows how to get those 303 sounds in Ableton please let me know.
The best song in the world – ever
No doubt about it. I can’t believe Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence’ is now twenty years old but it’s still the greatest single ever released by mankind. And here’s why:
16, romance, romantics, new romantics, gospel, Martin L. Gore, Dave Gahan, harmonies, 303s, acid lines, techno, first kiss, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Depeche Mode fan club, Ministry of Sound interviews, video, abstract, blue, European, alternative, white rose, Anton Corbijn, 12″, remixes, poster paint on school bags, futuristic, 80s, stealing brother’s vinyl collection, HMV, discovery.
And I still have the actual vinyl. Wonderful.
I can’t post the video here because EMI have prevented me. Instead I’ll post this Commodore 64 version which some nutter has worked on. Genius.
