Who should it have been?

The Avalanches.

Although didnt they have some old albums a few years back?

(i don't just mean from Q's feeble nominations btw)

did Kate Bush really say "I've just come" as her thank-you for her standing ovation?

if she did: niiiiiiiiiiiiice. much better than that whiny fiona apple shit.

oh, and the answer is can. ox. since all the other best albums this year have been around a while. artists named after albums = invariably dud??

They shouldn't have handed out thiz award. The should have released a press statement saying:

|/\|3 4R3 /<-|_4|\/|3!!!!!!! |/\|3 \|/!|_|_ (3453 PuBLiCaTioN HeNCeFoRTH!!!!! We aRe VeRY VeRY SoRRY!!!!!!!!! We aRe PiTiFuL PHuXiNG LaMErS WHo WiLL NeVeR, |\|3\/3|2 \\\\////\\\\////R!+e aBouT MuSiCK aGaiN!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would undoubtedly rule.

The White Stripes. To misquote that American baseball guy, "The most underrated overrated new group currently"

Them, or By Coastal Cafe

Sometimes I wonder why I bother getting up in the morning (afternoon, more like).

― DG, Saturday, 3 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I agree with Dave Q...By Coastal Cafe were great!...

I also think the Various Artists or Buglebear Senior should have won!

Who won last year?

― Alacrán, Sunday, 4 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

The Norman Lupov Tabernacle Choir.

Is that another name for Spiritualized?

just this minute had a great phne argt with ben th*mpson (who failed to watch):
ms: Starsailor! and Travis! But I think I hate Starsailor more than Travis…
bt: Noooo! Travis are evil!! Yes of course Starsailor are terrible, but they're just kids! They don't know any better! They're doing their best!! It's a song about an alcoholic: they're keeping it real!! etc.

By eye, the Albarn hairplugs story is surely true.

No, although it should be. It's a project I've been trying to get going since 1981. Maybe next year.

― Dr. C, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Mis Teeq, duh.
