NME Awards a couple of hours away... Did we ever establish whether they are actually sponsored by the city of Austin in Texas?

Weirdly, they are actually sponsored by the city. Not really sure how or why that ever came about but hey.

None on the headliners at the moment Morph 

 

Betfair have some interesting betting on Coldplays first song

Just noticed that there too. Not really worth betting on anything there though given that A Head Full of Dreams seems most likely and it isn't even listed.

It's just their tourist board trying a new way to advertise the city

Bob Lander, President & CEO of the Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau said: "We are thrilled to be the title sponsor for the 2014 NME Awards. This partnership represents an incredible opportunity to expose our Live Music Capital of the World brand and outstanding Austin talent to their fan base."

"Additionally, Austin represents a long established and world renowned musical legacy and we’re looking forward to globalising that image."

How about  a bit of Shania - very long introduction but when she hits the stage - OOHHH MAMA!!!! I would love her to be one of the female acts.

Rather her than Fucking Coldplay

    • I wonder if they had that vote again they'd vote differently, seeing how successful other mayors like Burnham have been?
    • Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.

    • Also agree, it does feel that there isn’t much between the Mercury Prize and the Brit Awards these days.   This part sums it up for me “The complaint isn’t so much about the quality of the music, but more the disappearance of spaces for outsider voices in British music. With streaming algorithms feeling increasingly geared towards big names, and social media acting as a minefield, the Mercury’s pivot to the mainstream closes another door in the face of creative independence.”
