The NME awards may now be dead

The last vestige of alternativity the NME awards were clinging to has vanished as the Daily Mail runs a feature predicting, ooh, trouble.

For what it's worth, the Mail reckons the Kaiser Chiefs will do well at the ceremony - despite, erm, not being nominated in any categories at all. They are going to play live, apparently, which is enough for the paper to headline the story... can you guess?

We predict a riot as Kaisers freeze out the Arctics...

Yes! A story about the Kaiser Chiefs with "predict a riot" in the headline. (Nice albatross, Ricky - raise it yourself?)

The NME Awards have been thrown into chaos after the Kaiser Chiefs sparked a war of words with the Arctic Monkeys, telling them to shut up and write better songs or go back to stacking shelves in supermarkets.

Not entirely sure that "throws the awards into chaos" - it wouldn't even panic an easily-frightened moth, would it?
