Why do they call them 'gongs'? Some people won 'gongs' at this year's Mojo Awards.
Once again, the ceremony was more a depressing exercise in brand identification than anything else; only a third of the awards actually bearing any direct relevance to music in 2007.
Here are the results. Roll on that retro drum till it breaks.
Woman of the Year: Amy Winehouse Song of the Year: Amy Winehouse, 'Rehab' Best Album: The Good, The Bad and The Queen, The Good, The Bad and The Queen Best Live Act: Arcade Fire Breakthrough Act: Seasick Steve Mojo Maverick: Echo and the Bunnymen Cult Hero: The Only Ones Prestigious Inspiration: Bjork Innovation in Sound: Suicide Hall of Fame Inductee: Alice Cooper Best Legend: Ike Turner Classic Album: Bob Marley, Exodus Lifetime Achievement: The Stooges Outstanding Contribution to Music: Joy Division Icon Award: Ozzy Osbourne
Mojo, then; a Suicide up from Q. Let's hope the latter follows suit, eh?
Eh?
