Linkin Park?

Here there was going to be a kinda congratulatory post about Avril winning two MTV Europe awards last night. A post saying that the people of Europe have spoken and fuck you Perez. If I could have been arsed to write it last night then that would have been it.

But on reflection some of that company she's keeping makes me wonder...

I mean Linkin Park? Best Band? Is that a sick joke (and I say this as someone who has defended them in the past when people have slagged them off in conversation but frankly some of the last album was completely indefensible)?

And then Justin Timberlake not winning a thing? Come on... Although the thought had occurred to me that his album was released last year and so maybe that's fair enough on a lack of product basis (tho he has been killing us with singles from the album...)

And Girlfriend beating Umbrella for "most addictive track"? What the ?

Her performance was cool enough. It must be a little boring going round the world promoting, playing one song repeatedly, trying to look fresh, interested, even when there's no cool Japanese guys backing you... But she pulled it off.

Why she thought joining that guy from the Foo Fighters whose name escapes me even though he's the most famous guy in Rock (how come the Foo Fighters weren't nominated in any category? costheyreshit?) (Dave something?) in the "VIP Bar" would be a good idea I don't know. Not that anything bad happened it was just so awful and pointless and banal. She should have remained her famously aloof self...
