WELLER GETS SPOD AS SIDEKICK

Although we could understand the logic behind teaming Weller and Oasis up when the crumblemod goes to pick up his lifetime's achievement award at the Brits. But since Oasis aren't going, are the Brits team thinking "well, we're giving him an award because, presumably, we think he's great, so let's give him four minutes on his own?"

Oh, no. In order to keep the kids interested, they've decided to make Weller play with James Blunt. Eh? Why? There's no musical justification for it, surely - even Weller at his overproduced worse has never sounded as poor as Blunt; and it's hardly giving the guy much of a tribute to say "we don't think you're strong enough to play without being shored up with a very second rate bloke whose career is already showing signs of stopping after just five minutes." Why not go the whole hog and make him play with the Crazy Frog?
