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

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

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

What did Sis play that was based on Booker T's "Soul Limbo"? That was pretty good.

= "back to the limbo" by ABS (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=AD15439639B5A735), i think (are they really just called ABS?)

(my friend T was very impressed by yrs and marna's rigour as bookreaders btw)

Well when you've sat right in front of the stage reading Jonathan Strange while everybody else is trying to appreciate the Mystery Jets, you can read anywhere. (I was waiting for Goldfrapp to come on). Anyway, nothing wrong with reading a book in a place with good music, beer and nice friends.

Isn't that Abs as in previously of 5ive? I would go and check but I just packed my copy of his really-very-listenable solo album and I think there was a song called 'back to the limbo' on it.

Abs for president!

His solo album is called "Abstract Theory"! Abs for Dictator for Life!

To be fair, I'd vote for him if his election campaign sounded anything like 'Seven Ways.' And I'm a politics student.
