NME
Album—“Whatever People Say I Am etc etc etc”, unless they feel like pulling an OMG SWERVE (they won’t)
Single: either “We Are Your Friends” or “Monster”, more likely the former.
Dom, do some proper news journalism, get your arse to a newsstand and report back on the NME 2006 lists NOW !
Wire: Newsom
LOL @ “proper news journalism”. Trident submarine eat yer heart out.
NME—Album—Whatever People Say I Am Thingy
Single—Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Dancefloor was last year so they’ll have to go for He’s A Scumbag Don’t You Know.
Although watch out for Super Massive Black Hole on the outside lane.
Although after all that the NME might just go for Crazy.
Also Dom, can do some Vox popping on the way back? stopping members of the public and asking them to comment on the NME albums of the year.
Find one member of the public who’s heard (of) any NME albums of the year.
