Mark Ronson to flog NME Award on eBay
Posted: 08 Jul '08, 13:41
After having his work labelled as “a bunch of nauseating oily sub-lounge covers” in NME’s Glastonbury coverage, Mark Ronson is to sell the NME Award he won for Best International Solo Artist on eBay after a writer from the paper contacted him to distance himself from the piece. As a result, the New York producer/DJ has decided to sell the “excellent doorstop”.
Posting under the title “NME IS FULL OF SH*T.. WHAT ELSE IS NEW” on his MySpace blog (here), Ronson remarks:
“I got the following email from a journalist at the NME in reference to what I imagine was a scathing review of my Glasto performance (if only I read the mag, I might know what it said....oh well)”.
Presumably the review in question was last week’s VITRIOLIC ATTACK on Ronson’s Other Stage performance, written under New Music Editor Alex Miller’s name.
The apparent grovel?
The item will apparently be listed on eBay once “the morons send it to me”.
So, whose back have you got?
-
lol Alex Miller.
-
he can poke it up his trumpeting arse for all i care
-
This is like Hitler v John Barrowman
isn't it.
-
no
it's like sexy hitler vs nme
-
and by 'sexy hitler'
i mean 'mark ronson'.
-
who really isn't a great deal like hitler
-
no many are my friend.
-
Mark Ronson has gone up in my estimation ...
... although to be fair there wasn't any other way he could have gone. He is everything that is wrong with modern music embodied in one person. But this is still quite funny.

-
True
Hitler did have one ball rather than none.
-
ZING
-
that's probably why i fancy him
mark ronson, not hitler.
-
the man is a cretin, sure
but it's his speaking voice that really pisses me off. He sounds like he has a permanent blocked up nose. Poor chap.
-
this article
and all the events described within mean nothing.

In all fairness, I don't know what he's whining about
he's probably made shit loads out of doing fuck all. And it's not like he refused the NME award he got.
"a bunch of nauseating oily sub-lounge covers"? I'd say that's fairly accurate.
What a twat.
-
I'd love to kiss Mark Ronson on the face.
-
Obviously, by "face" I mean "anus".
-
And by "kiss" I mean "stab".

It was well funny
When he "appeared" on stage with the Zutons to exactly zero crowd reaction, and proceeded to play some chords on a guitar which nobody could hear, and I assume wasn't plugged in, until he shuffled off again, to exactly zero crowd reaction.
-
That's only after he...
nearly slipped and fell over as he ran toward the crowd. Lol.
-
nme
like to change their collective mind a lot don't they.
-
I didn't see that
but it sounds ace!
-
-
-
does this mean
if Ronson now hates the NME that DiS users will start liking the NME?
-
he needs to stay in the studio
he is a total waste of time as a live act. Not that his recorded material is any good.
-
Super producer?
I don't understand why he has been given this label. He's a fucking hip hop dj that took a load of songs from other artists and copied a genre. What's so super about that?
-
-
i love the way
the mere mention of mark ronson winds so many of you lot up!
after actually reading his blog, i kind of like him now.
