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

Other prime moments of Lex-baiting from last night

1. Various Poptimists surrounding him during Teenage Kicks while vigorously air-punching, thus forcing him to stand on the dancefloor looking sulky.

2. Convincing him that the original version of Life On Mars (which he LOVED) was released by Usher when he was 14.

3. Pointing and laughing while he was PLAYING AIR GUITAR.

I don't remember any of that or any of the Indie Prize or anything of, um, anything.

I woke up at 6am having forgotten to take m contacts out. WORLD OF PAIN. So glad I had foresight to take today off.
