1270.1Kate !.........Yer Krap ! PAKORA::JJACKTue Jan 10 1995 23:256
    
    It beats me how Kate Bush constantly comes up in the Best British
    Female category, when she hasn't done one bloody decent thing since
    thew Kick Inside !!
    
    
1270.2MASALA::SWRIGHTUno CoCa Cola PorfavorWed Jan 11 1995 01:247

How come Eric Clapton gets nominated for something every year?  Is it so the
music bizzos get invited to party at RAH after he 5000 (smiley thing) nite
run.
1270.5More Rant!AYOV27::FW_TEMP01John Hussey - Exiled in jocko landWed Jan 11 1995 13:5612
And bloody B Adams and Luther 'Im a ladies man really - just ask my boyfirend'
Vandross.  They should bring back hanging for that thing he did with Mariah 'My
hubbys the boss' Cary.

And what happened to the Best Newcomer whose been gigging for 8 years and
made 6 indie albums Category?

And is Jonathan King still doing it (more Mick Fleetwood please!!!)

God, I hate music awards.  Still could be worse - could be the Grammy's (Tony
Bennett - Best Male Artist who remembers Dinosaurs)

1270.6IOSG::GRAHAMIrony is the shackles of youth...Wed Jan 11 1995 17:024
    re .1
    
    Kate Bush hasn't done anything good since the Kick Inside?  How about
    the last LP, The Red Shoes??  I thought that's her best album so far!
1270.7Only kiddin....never heard at actually !MASALA::JJACKFri Jan 13 1995 01:574
    
    Did you ?.....I didn't !!
    
    
1270.8Brit AwardsYUPPY::CONNELLAFri Jan 20 1995 16:169
    I may be new to this conference, but can any one tell me what Sinead
    O'Connor (nothing compares to you) has done recently pop wise and why
    on earth is she included in the best female line up???
    
    I agree, the Brit Awards are meaningless, half the nominees are at best
    one hit wonders , at worst old timers who release greatest hit cd's and
    get nominations (as much as I like their music!!)
    
    Andrea,

    Sinead - she released a good album last year (Universal Mother?).

1270.10CHEFS::GEORGEMThe wonderful thing about tiggers...Fri Jan 20 1995 16:336
...though Lisa Stansfield, Kate Bush and Michelle Gayle's albums must've passed 
me by.  Hasn't  Michelle Gayle only released 2 singles?  I can't remember when 
Lisa Stansfield last put anything out, and I thought the Red Shoes was Bush's 
last one (didn't think it was 1994 though).

I'm surprised flamin' Annie Lennox didn't get a nomination - she usually does.

    They really do seem to scrape the barrel with these awards, esp when it
    comes to the female category.  Its certainly not going to be as
    interesting as the Sam Fox/Mick Fleetwood show - or the KLF/Extreme
    Noise TError performance from a couple of years ago.  Or was that a
    different award ceremony?

    Its all a barrel of toilet really.
    
    
1270.14what a quaint expression!WELSWS::HEDLEYLager LoutTue Jan 24 1995 15:063
I beg your pardon?

Barrel - commonly a large wooden/metal/plastic cylindrical recepticle for the 
	 containment of liquid substances.

Toilet - commonly a largeish porcelain saxophone shaped recepticle for 
	 collection of effluent, and the disposal thereof.

Therefore, Mr or Mrs Traffic is suggesting that the BRIT awards are a cylinder 
full of porcelain foghorns, whereas he possibly meant to say that they are a 
Barrel o' sh!+e.
1270.16CHARLEY BIG TIMEPEKING::TRAFFICTue Jan 24 1995 19:315
    Darn right! 
    
    Kate Bush still needs it though.

Hmm... I wonder which illegal substances Mr/Mrs Traffic is on.

    I should imagine this is first single to win a Brit award which
    waxes lyrical on the subject of 'brewers droop'.

    No awards for the Weddoes then?
1270.23CHEFS::GEORGEMThe west is the bestTue Feb 21 1995 16:493
yes.  Most over-used, and drawn out reference by sad people in UK_MUSIC 
conference.  The initial references lasted approx. 2 days.  Yours have lasted 
months.
1270.24PEKING::TRAFFICTue Feb 21 1995 17:123
    So what are you trying to say?

Hey, looks like we've found somebody snotty and miserable enough to
replace the esteemed Rod!!

Chris.
1270.26CHEFS::GEORGEMThe west is the bestTue Feb 21 1995 17:275
nah, I could never dream of attaining such greatness in the miserable and 
snotty stakes.
