I mean, technically, are they a band?

Best Engineer: Chris van de Geer for Carly Binding's Passenger
why don't they just call it Best Turd Polisher?

Submitted by noizyboy on Wed, 2004-08-25 18:57.

also see they've ditched the 'Roots' category after one outing, merged the two maori categories, and likewise lost the best Programme Director category.

Submitted by jesstherese on Wed, 2004-08-25 18:57.

yeah and what's the point of nominees for highest-selling album/single? isn't it a question of fact?

Submitted by J-Kip on Thu, 2004-08-26 16:14.

Yeah I thought that was weird, surely its obvious who it is, unless maybe the period under question is still running, i dunno.

Submitted by Heather on Wed, 2004-08-25 18:48.

Awww Hayley Westernra's in there! Gray Bartlett will be pleased.

Submitted by Pants Down on Wed, 2004-08-25 18:55.

I disagree with so many of those that it's not funny.

Submitted by Stefan on Wed, 2004-08-25 18:57.

Isn't that the point of the Tuis?

Submitted by noizyboy on Wed, 2004-08-25 18:57.

yes.

Submitted by Pants Down on Wed, 2004-08-25 19:00.

Nicely put. I think there were many bands that were overlooked and some of the choices there are just shocking. Sure i dont like most of that music, but know who deserves what.

Submitted by Heather on Wed, 2004-08-25 19:01.

Go the Phoenix Foundation though, eh? eh??

Submitted by tessie tutae on Wed, 2004-08-25 21:19.

Go Phoenix.
Must be the token inclusion of the little man band.

Submitted by noizyboy on Wed, 2004-08-25 21:26.

// Must be the token inclusion of the little man band.

or maybe it's a genuinely good album. sheesh.

Submitted by tessie tutae on Wed, 2004-08-25 23:15.

Oh yeah, that too.
Sorry Phoenix for the unintended insult...you know I love ya.

Submitted by manamana on Wed, 2004-08-25 19:29.

for ages i thought the tui's were put on by the beer maker.

Submitted by Vietnow on Wed, 2004-08-25 19:47.

they're not?

Submitted by limegreen on Wed, 2004-08-25 20:20.

with eligibility defined on being able to locate maingatinoka on a map (and spell it correctly for that matter?)

Submitted by manamana on Wed, 2004-08-25 20:55.

music was the winner on the day - yeah right

Submitted by J-Kip on Thu, 2004-08-26 16:16.

Tui are the sponsor aren't they? I've never really paid much attention so I just figured that's why there were called that.

Submitted by Devil Rider on Wed, 2004-08-25 20:00.

i have allways been so mean about the tuis...know i dont know what to think.

Submitted by manamana on Wed, 2004-08-25 20:53.

Submitted by amandabk on Thu, 2004-08-26 15:23.

Oh I know manamana, i was just making a hmmmm remark to represent me holding my tongue regarding devilrider and an, in some respects, ironic tui nomination

Submitted by Rudy on Fri, 2004-08-27 01:49.

Yo dirty little bitch Ms Barkely, that is definetly the last time you get any 'action' out of me! Why Devil Rider is one of my closest friends and allies, together we have laughed and cried, and here ye be talking of 'irony'. What a very worn out concept.

Mind you, it will be funny if we go and get to hand with Carly and Brooke, do you reckon they're into girl on girl?

Submitted by amandabk on Sun, 2004-08-29 22:14.

Action from you Rudy? Puh! i had given up all hope of that since you ceased to communicate with me despite various congratulations via various mediums.

who are these "people"? and whay are they choosing these bands?

Submitted by limegreen on Wed, 2004-08-25 20:19.

I think people has been redefined as a group having some or all of the following properties
a) believing hipsters look good on *everyone*
b) <20 years
c) owning a cellphone
d) spending far too much time texting
e) silly enough to waste money on text voting
f) failing to understand that if everyone is wearing something ironically, it's really undermining the irony
g) failing to understand how trucker caps and irony relate in the first place
h) really into artists who write their own songs, like Britney Spears and her great song "I love Rock'n'Roll"

Maybe 'people' are major labels and the award is really for pushiest music communications/PR wench.

Submitted by Joanna on Wed, 2004-08-25 21:35.

Maybe labels are made up of people too.

omg shock horror.

Submitted by Big_Stu on Wed, 2004-08-25 21:43.

//it's really undermining the irony//

And they probably think irony is what their mum uses to get the creases out of their hipsters ...

Submitted by J-Kip on Thu, 2004-08-26 16:17.

hahahahaha, lovely.

Submitted by Vietnow on Wed, 2004-08-25 20:08.

All this negativity, but why should we care? Every music awards ceremony is a joke these days - Tuis, Arias, Grammys, MTV, Brits. About the only decent music award is the Mercury prize.

Life goes on.

Submitted by manamana on Wed, 2004-08-25 20:56.

is that the Mercury Energy awards? i'm so confused..

Submitted by Vietnow on Wed, 2004-08-25 21:05.

nah bro.

this list shows just how good british music has been in the last 10 years.

Submitted by Heather on Wed, 2004-08-25 21:07.

British music award...past winners include Gomez, PJ Harvey, Badly Drawn Boy, Roni Size, Pulp, Portishead...etc

Shortlist has included Blur, Oasis, Spice Girls, Robbie Williams... Often there are a lot of well-received debut albums featured; it's good for a solid cross-section of the british pop scene.

I Dont know why they have "best rock album" - rock these days is broken down into so many genres and sub-genres there should one one for "best alternative" "best metal" "best butt rock" "Best Jock Rock" etc etc.

Submitted by J-Kip on Thu, 2004-08-26 16:18.

Maybe the distinction doesn't exist for the majority of people - and award shows like this are about pandering to a majority aren't they? Did I spell pander right? Is that even a word?

Submitted by maniac*nymph on Fri, 2004-08-27 01:27.

the thing thats effing me off bout these awards this year is that they dont include our amazingly talented bands like shihad 8 foot sativa or the datsuns ...so im not gunna watch'em.

"which one of these is not like the others..."

Submitted by rope on Wed, 2004-09-01 04:40.

is that rhetorical? i've been trying to figure this out for a while now

Submitted by CapitalRecordings on Thu, 2004-09-02 06:59.

i dunno, i was just being a smart arse.
i'm seriously fucking happy about PF getting the nod for best album.
even if we are just 'making up the numbers' or giving the Tuis some credibility (as some people have said to me) i couldn't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut :-)
it means "Hosepower" gets exposed to more people, we shift some more units and us and the band gets mo' money. RESULT!
i call it "The Little Album That Could" ;-)

thanks for replying, i couldn't handle losing another night's sleep,
