Brit Awards 'GOLD'

Substantial thanks to friend of the blog and Clique promoter Ian, who got in touch recently with some excellent footage from the famously distastrouts (Microsoft so-called Word actually allowed that typo – what a piece of fucking shit).

Anyway, the famously disastrous
1989 Brit Awards, starring Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox, a double act who would later go on to inspire the name of popular beat combo the Fleet Foxes. Probably.

You can view the ceremony in ten chapters by cliking the link above.

When you do, look out for these highlights, as chosen by our correspondent:

- Kenneth Baker rightly feeling the HATE of uk yoof
- Bros live, following up that 'I watch you crumble like a very old wall' lyric with some tremendously shit scatting into a guy's sax
- Every single time Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood do or say anything
- The whole Cliff Richard Tory apologist shitfest (keep an eye out for when he's walking down the stairs past a scummy old man smoking a cig like a tramp waiting for a bus)
- The Four Tops/Boy George lolfest
- The way Tanita Tikaram and all them other worthy and now pointless singer-songwriters combine faux-humility with an "I am creating important art, deify me" vibe.
- Annie Lennox twatting herself in the eye with her spikey Brit award
- Carol Decker's wildly inappropriate melismatics in that final horrorshow song
- Phil Collins being the most coked-up person ever seen anywhere ever

and countless countless more.

Enjoy.
