Choice music prize is a joke. I wish Jape well with their music, but I think award shows like that invalidate musicians everywhere. And the judges are cocksuckers. And well. Its all a load of horsecock. OK.

I’m a little confused …What was the shortlisted ‘Choice’ for the Choice award and who chose it? …or if the choice was anything to do with Choice dog food, who chews it?
Jape is an even bigger fruit n nutcase than me – so I’m guessing that it was in fact chosen by covering the said artists in dog food and setting two Collies and a labrador on them to decide the winner by seeing who gets licked clean first…With Jape being slightly smaller and less ticklish than the average artist (due in part to all those extra chemicals in his brain) it was kind of obvious that Corks Snowman had no chance.
Awards are only truly worthwhile if their from the people who realy matter – ie your fans as in ‘they that actualy buy your albums and enable you to carry on’. Aside from that they are a handy media reminder that you’re still alive and making music.As far as any year goes choosing (or even chewsing) the best Irish album is almost impossible as they all get better every single year – lets face it we’ve got the best indie music scene in the entire world!
