The Lex 20p Indie Prize Was Won By...

THE AUTOMATIC. I much enjoyed seeing Matt DC chase a visibly shaken Lex around the dancefloor wielding the sacred twenty pence piece.

Actually the Automatic should not have won according to the voting, but I lost my CD with Lallen and the Pipettes on and have never knowingly owned a Camera Obscura record, so they got it - also "Monster" turned out to rock the Poptimism house so they are worthy winners.

The votes in full:

Kasabian: minus 17 points.
Test Icicles: 4 points
Feeling: 8 points
The Guillemots: 13 points
Kooks: 16 points
Young Knives: 22 points
Automatic: 27 points, WINNER
Pipettes: 31 points
Camera Obscura: 34 points
Lily Allen: 35 points

this is what happened in both other music prizes this week as well, Peter Robinson only owns Girls Aloud CDs, nothing else, and Simon Frith lost the Richard Hawley CD down the back of the sofa...
