Have just been on the NME site & am worried, very worried. NME awards tour, (lineup announced next week) is called Shockwaves NME awards. Does this mean that the nearest we have to a decent indy awards system is now being sponsered by hair products?
I hope not, but fear it may be so. It's bad enough these days that all the main festivals now feel like you are walking around a mobile advertising board for random products. Wouldn't be so bad if sponsership related to music.
'Spose it's a sign of getting old wanting the good old days when the NME awards were set up as a direct response to the corporate nonsense of the Brits.
