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

Customer Service Request

Wld it b possible 2 tll me about the music? I haf heard men-e 4 the 1st time only yesterday, only once.

My votes:

Lily
The Automatic
The Kooks
(Kasabian near miss)

Neg vote:
Guillemots (seemed 2 combine worst qualities of Michael Bolton & Joe Cocker, but wz live clip so p'raps unfair)

Pipettes I do knot get. Seem pale, az if "Cruel Summer" & "Be My Baby" knot jus beyond their talent but beyond their soulz. Kasabian "Club Foot" wz nice sub-stooges knockaround, but p'raps band haz committed crimes elezwhere.
