Hey, we're a massive music magazine right? We've got a huge readership of music lovers? And we've got the oportunity to reach out to those readers and do something progressive, forward thinking and tap into what's at the fore-front of every REAL music fans minds right now? Then let's use our power and industry status to celebrate whats been so great about music in 2008. How about at this years Q Awards, we really honour those who have released inivative music that laughs in the face of mediocrity, performed a live set so awe-inspiring people's whole weekends are made in just the space of an hour and lets celebrate the birth of a new band making waves in the sea of dull, dull, dull. BRILLIANT idea Mr Rees! Who do you have in mind? Only these bad boys...
BEST ACT IN THE WORLD-COLDPLAY
BEST ALBUM-VIVA LA VIDA, COLDPLAY
BEST LIVE ACT-KAISER CHIEFS
BEST TRACK-'SPIRALLING' KEANE
BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST-DUFFY
BEST NEW ACT-THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS
How can a magazine so successful produce a list of bands and artists that's so incredibly off the mark. This is just wrong, absolutely wrong.
It pains me to think that this is what they actually think constitutes as good music and A part of me hopes it's all done so when the likes of 'Viva La Vida' is picked of the shelf at Tesco's, Q gets to go for a ride in yummy mummy's trolley too.
In a year when Elbow, Kings Of Leon, Foals, Vampire Weekend and MGMT just to name a few have stepped up to the plate and produced albums and live performances of the astounding quality that they have it's remarkable Q, in one clean sweep, can mis-judge a stella year for music in such spectacular style.
Mind numbing shiteness is what Q magazine is, just don't expect that to change any time soon.
