London, England
Another music awards ceremony, another farce; this time Kanye doing the rounds by crashing the stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards after losing Best Video to Justice Vs Simian for club anthem 'We Are Your Friends'. Seriously, how much longer can hip hop fuckwits get away with this shit?
Something that is cool, Simian. And unless you've been hiding in a hole for the past 3 months, the 'We Are Your Friends' remix should be firmly implanted in your brain forever (I have fond memories of my flat mate running around at Splendour like a man possessed, screaming this song to everyone he saw and proclaiming it was the best song in the world. He was easily excitable that day). But the band, before Justice got a hold of it, was little well known outside of the UK. Their second album, We Are Your Friends, is one of my all time faves with some highly addictive little pop songs such as 'La Breeze' and 'Never Be Alone' - the song Justice remixed then renamed 'We Are Your Friends'. It's unfortunate the band broke up last year. One can't help but think what could have been with their sudden rise in popularity.

Here's the vid that won them the award and a couple of awesome tracks from We Are Your Friends
