The Twin has been nominated for Best UK Solo Artist in the Brits, the UK equivalent of the Grammys, not that he'll win of course... |

Link is www.brits.co.uk ... He's up against Craig David, Ian Brown, Elton John & Robbie Williams... so would be fucking brilliant if he won... |

Robbie W & Elton john have already won this previous years so that should cut it down a bit (Rob W has won twice!!)... So it's between Aphex, Ian Brown & Craig David... |

I reckon it'll be Craig David after he was "snubbed" last year, although I wouldn't rule out either RW or EJ, they're the biggest "names" on there. I'm afraid that the token "alternative" Brit (i.e. to someone that isn't utterly utterly mainstream) will go to either the Gorillaz or The Strokes. |

Ian Brown got some attention this year, and his tour did really well, so I reckon it's between those two... mind you, can never count out ol' Tiny Dancer |

Still, at the very least it'll stop people saying "WHO?" or "Yeah, I love THEIR stuff" when you mention Aphex Twin... And apparently there's going be 8hrs in total of programs on ITV covering The Brits so we should get to see something of him on mainstream TV... (Anyway Ian Brown shouldn't win cause he's a Monkey and won't be able to do a speech and as for Craig, He just TOO SMALL to be truly visible on TV...).. |

i had to check the site! i thought it was a joke too!! i just think it would be really funny if he did win (but he won't). Suddenly some ginger walks calmly onto the stage, collects his awards, and grins his evil grin, all the tennyboppers start screaming, and chaos happens. |

I can't wait! I can imagine him rolling up outside in a limo like in the windowlicker vid, window goes down revealing his smashing grin :) He should get together with Chris Morris or something and plot a devious prank. How much do Brit awards go for these days anyway? Think warp will be able to up the cash? :P _-Robo-_ |

Craig David, Ian Brown, Elton John & Robbie Willams are all FAGGOTS ! Aphex should win, but I guess he wont.....he is just nominated because of his underground status, so the judges can say "Oh yeah, but WE know good music along with that greasy POP SHEIT, we nominated Aphex Twin we are so cool and down with the scene, but we rather give the award to fucking Graig David because he gives good head....." |

In the UK, a Faggot is a meat based dish (i.e. You can go into a Butchers shop and ask for "10 of your finest faggots. kind sir" & not be beaten senseless)... don't know what part of an animal makes up a faggot but I'm guessing it's not something you'd normally stick in your gob... Any other usage of the word is pretty offensive to my mind...stick with the Craig "Dot" David jokes.. |

That was pretty funny, basically the autocue was fucked and Sam Fox is a brain dead doofus. They were saying stuff like, "And now to present the next award, here's Elton John!" and Gary fucking Davies (some old duff DJ) walked out, pretty embarassing, as were the five minute pauses when the two of em were just staring at the camera, the looks on their faces saying "KILL ME NOOOOOOWWWW" |

The Brits is ALWAYS awful one way or another. It's the most corporate, least relevant or respected of all our stoopid awards. They always pick things that are out of date, or people really liked a year ago. People usually get an award when they've done nothing all year 'cos the judges are a bunch of coked-out cigar munching f***wits. People normally get a lifetime achievement award if they're about to die. Craig David is dull and hasn't done anything all year, so he has a good chance. Elton has been rubbish for nearly 20 years so he stands a good chance. Ian Brown is indeed a MONKEY but doesn't stand much chance, unless he has a life-threatening illness we don't know about. Robbie Williams has got to be the dullest singer in the world, a Phill Collins for modern age, uuugh, he's bound to win. What the hell is Aphex doing in Male artist catagory. Why not dance. Why have bloody catagories anyway? The whole thing sucks anyway, it would be an insult if he won, he'd hate it... |

i can imagine if he did win, and all these little shitheaded 12 year olds walk around in aphex twin hoddies and think they are well cool and underground. Check iiiiiit. No chance though. Craig David (David Craig?) obviously is going to win because thats how the shitty awards work. Do what people tell you to do. |

This post is just brilliant..very funny! Just seen the nominations...who's the odd one out? I've tried to avoid "The Shits" for the last decade,but there is just no escape...although i've got to say a "duet"with Aphex and Elton would just be hilarious! What song could they cover?(Presenter on the night:"..and now performing just for this show,it's Aphex Twin and Elton!"..."WTF?"(me). }:> |

He should go just to stick the award up Geri Halliwells ARSE or several of them in her GOB, assuming he wins of course. If not he can just NUT Robbie Williams and take his or something. _-Robo-_ |

Any award ceremony that is televised is likely not to be taken too seriously. Every time somebody who is worthy of the title "best . . . " gets nominated you know they'll lose. This rule hardly ever fails. |

Wasn't WindowLicker up for best video at the MTV's a couple of years ago, I don't know if he turned up but there was a little clip of him talking about the video. As for the Brits, I honestly don't know, he either will (and be completely anonymous), won't, or send one of those giant bears, RDJ-faced bikini babes etc. along instead. |
