Lex 20p Indie Prize: 2009
Aug. 3rd, 2009 12:55 pmAs I try very hard not to die too much, I bring you the news that the nominations for this year's Lex 20p Indie Prize are now open. For those of you not familiar with either the prize or the Lex, the principle is that the winning act is sent 20p in Lex's name. The possible reasons for why you would nominate acts for this I will list under this here cut:
In all cases the act are indie but the following qualifiers can also be used to define said act, indiscriminately and probably (preferably) in a contradictory fashion:
-the act are good
-the act are hated by the Lex (who is
alexmacpherson)
-the act are liked by the Lex
-the act are hated by you
-the act are liked by you
-the act are universally hated
-the act are universally liked
-the act are really, really indie
-the act are not really indie at all
-you feel like talking about the act for some reason
-the act are a repulsive plague on the face of music, ie: Scouting For Grills
-you want to get a good ol' haterade party going on in the comments about a particular act
-the act are the only indie act you've heard anything by this year
I was going to go and make a flowchart on OKCupid to demonstrate this but it turns out work have blocked FUN and I can't be 4r5ed with MS Paint.
RIGHT THEN, is that all clear? Nominations away!

Date: 2009-08-04 10:46 am (UTC)Mazzalist clearly better than telling people how to use Rep ('don't bother' etc.) so here is my top ten-
1. Narcissus Narcosis (the first verse of this makes me DIE and MELT and ARGH)
2. The Nobodies
3. Irresponsible Hate Anthem
4. Angel With The Scabbed Wings
5. Tourniquet
6. Heart-Shaped Glasses (OH YES; I genuinely really really thought this was the start of Maz being FVCKING AMAZING again -woez)
7.
FightLove Song (this should be higher probs but I always sing it as 'got a crush on a pretty biscuit' and have consequently slightly ruined it for myself)8. The Nobodies (acoustic versh)
9. Coma Black
10. (S)aint (this gets in for having Greg from CSI in the video -LOVELY GREG LICKING MARILYN MANSON SHOCKER HURRAH)
I basically like the s3xy ones best.
