Englishman in New York
Great to hear that Antony and the Johnsons won the mercury Music Award this year, I've been talking about them all year and caught him in Dublin a bit back. Some criticism about him being practically American and the album having been made in New York, but once again a British Passport has provided a strong defense (All Americans envy the British Passport and its EU Powers).
This injustive was also mentioned in the Iirish Press, I think it was in yesterdays Irish Examiner. Not that the irish press is consevative and prone to vilification, they felt it necesrry, in a very short article, to mention that Antony has appeard on stage and collaborated with Japaneese hermaphrodite, albino mathematician, Dr Julia Yasuda (I really wish I could find a picture of her...)
Great sour grapes award to the Kaiser Chiefs who described his mere presence on the shortlist as a "technicality". God knows how they feel now after the bookies favourite lost. Their fans aren't happy either.
This news also mentioned in NME and The Guardian
Finally, here's a good article on Anthony and the Johnsons for earlier this year while they where jsut rasing thier not obviously at all wigged heads.
