Is there a category for Stupidest Eyebrows?

my local residents association had their annual field day last saturday and part of it was a dog show. A friend of mine brought her fat lump of a labrador up for the craic. Ended up winning the smiliest dog prize.

So, if theres not a stupidest eyebrows category, there should be. They probably had one in that dog show.

I have rated each post so you know my opinion. Informative = never heard of them

I have not yet chosen a 'winner' mind.

Wasn't this generally considered a disappointment? Among those who care, like.

it was exactly what you'd imagine a damon albarn solo album to sound like... worthy and dull.

I had no expectation at all. People seemed to care though.

I guess if you're Damon Albarn, you get a nomination for just showing up.

I never hear of Go Go Penguin til this thread. Its not the worst but I got fed up after a minute of this

tbh i've never heard of them before other than that they're some sorta jazz outfit, so i just presumed they'd be this years Nitin Sawhney

Ah right. Well.... I still had the vague hope that he'd release something with a bit of life in it.

I saw some of her set at one of the festivals that was on telly (either glastonbury, reading/leeds, etc) and wasn't mad on her. Let us know what you make of the album.

and here we have an album making a headline by not making the shortlist:

James Vincent McMorrow misses out on Mercury shortlist

First they make Aer Lingus fly into terminal 2 at Heathrow, "The Queen's Terminal" and now this. When will these constant humiliations at the hands of the British end?

 

[Scientician 0.8]

If the band didn't appear in the video I think I'd like that GoGo Penguin a bit more.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

I have never heard or heard of most of those artists. Clicked into that Kate Tempest video, not for me thanks.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

And the Go Go Penguin video is shit too. Jazz for people who don't like jazz.

I've heard of 6 of them. Will give the others a go in due course.

I heard a royal blood song on the radio last night. Thought it was the white stripes.

I've heard of 8 of them., Little Simz was a 6music favourite back when I used to listen to it. I found her hard going.

I also had too much time on my hands in 2014
