I've been looking for an excuse to post the video for 'Province' by TV On The Radio for ages, it being supergreat, and now's my chance as it's been nominated for a 'Woodie' in the Best Video category.

MTV Woodies are like the college version of the VMA's. And judging by the nominations list which has just been released, it's a damn sight better than the VMA's too. There are a helluva lot of cool bands that feature over the various categories: CSS, Bright Eyes, Justice, Modest Mouse, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (another recommendation from last night's party, this one courtesy of Carl) and of course, the amazing TV On The Radio.

Here's the video for Province:

And here's a freaking awesome performance of 'Wolf Like Me' on Letterman from a while back for the benefit of anyone who missed it on my (now defunct) Bebo page:



And for those interested in voting on the Woodies, they can do so here.

I've already gotten some stick for being fixated on how much of an imbecile kanye west is, but i don't think it can be pointed out enough- the man is an absolute joke.

and here's why:

apart from the obvious- that he's a terrible 'musician', and makes a living by putting samples of good songs under his own inane drivel; several things have come to my attention in the past few days that have prompted me to write this.


firstly, a video posted by Unarocks featuring kanye freaking out backstage at the vma's because britney opened the show instead of him.
watch it here.

then this proof that the moron is a serial offender in the court of uber-diva-ness. he crashed the stage at the european vma's last year during justice & simian's acceptance speech for best video. why? to bitch that HE should have got the award cause his video "cost a million dollars" and "had pamela anderson and shit".


"if i don't win, the award show loses credibility"

sigh

THEN, the final straw- look, and weep, at what kanye has had commissioned to have painted on his celing.

"As if he has just appeared before God, Kanye West is being celebrated by a chorus of rejoicing angels."

oh the humanity...
