That's what I'd do if I was still in charge - they are so good on Pointless.

But will our deeply unimaginative and totally useless BPI ask them? Shape the show differently? Make it interesting?
No fucking chance!

A good idea, but I believe James Corden got a 3 year deal.

Yes and I thought he was fine but the BPI and, sadly, our entire industry is totally lacking in imagination these days.

We need a Brits (like we did when I took over) to galvanise the world, get great ratings, expose good music to millions and millions of potential fans, to amuse us, intrigue us, interest us; get us talking, remembering, digging out our old vinyl... buying new downloads. A Brits linked to iTunes and You Tube. A Brits for 2013.

But no, the not-at-all great and good in the music industry settles for adequate.

Doh.

How comes morons like James Corden and Russell Brand get good jobs for being arrogant and unfunny they might as well ask Steve Coogan host the Brits as Saxondale.

I don't actually know anyone from my generation who watches The Brits. That may mean nothing other than that I mix with the wrong type of people .. or it could mean that there is a rift between the official music world and the average music fan. I've got no idea but I just thought I'd mention it.
