Was Richard D James close to winning a Brit this year? Perhaps not, but the NME reports that a gremlin in the system meant Aphex Twin and a string of others not up for nomination were thrown into the mix in the online voting for the Brits. The website where votes were being cast, Brits.co.uk, suggested that a number of artists who were not up for awards had, in fact, been nominated -giving people the opportunity to nominate RDJ, even though he hasn't released a record in what feels like a million years. The hitch has since been corrected, meaning the mostly banal list of nominees was thankfully restored.
Of course, if the music industry's top brass could spare a brain cell between them, they might have given AFX a Brit Award years ago, instead of handing them to nobodies like Robbie Williams and Travis.
