JK2006	Ah DJ - for me, the British Music Industry sells and promotes and loves great music; wherever it comes from. So my Brits would honour Hal David for example.
DJones	See also this blog post by Norman Lebrecht: "In a two-fingered gesture to the arts community and public probity, the outgoing Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt has appointed his friend and advisor Peter Bazalgette to the chairmanship of Arts Council England. Bazalgette is a pioneer of trash television, the entrepreneur who brought Big Brother to Britain." www.artsjournal.com/slippeddisc/2012/09/...ts-crony-to-ace.html BRITS: With the destruction of EMI Music in the immediate future, there will be not much of the british record industry left to celebrate ...
JK2006	Very interesting; thanks for posting this.
Notcyrilshane	Does Maria Miller's appointment as Culture Secretary mean even less interest in the development of UK music? www.artlyst.com/articles/new-culture-sec...s-no-arts-experience
GG	It should go to the Nationals. I've been in Tony Wadsworth's face twice in the last year and a half. Nice guy, sure....same canned rhetoric as all of them, of course. He was responsible for the Blur love-fest at the Brits this year as Adele gets cut off. That's the math we have to deal with JK, in the context of your letter. Their response to my retort would be "Well we can't please everyone"......and my response back would be ....Please! Honestly!...
