I Want My MTV
The celebrities have arrived and the glitz and glamour cannon has been fired all over the streets of the city. Yes, The MTV Europe Music Awards are coming live from Edinburgh tonight and could things get any more exciting? (well, yes they could, but hyperbole is our friend, OK?)
As Talent in a Previous Life is not only one of the internet's premier music related sites, but is also based in Edinburgh, it will come as no surprise to our readership to learn that we will be out and about up town tonight. Now, will we be sitting centre stage to watch a succession of pop acts perform their hits with extravagant dance routines and fab lighting effects? Will we be in a position to see the Christina Aguilera/Shirley Manson snog up close, and if there is any sort of justice in the world, this will happen? Will we be enjoying the novelty of watching some of the worlds biggest celebrities performing in a giant tent in a rather rough and rubbish part of Edinburgh? Will we be hanging around back-stage, exchanging bon-mots with the cream of the music industry? Will we buggery! Instead we're off out to see The Electric Soft Parade at the Liquid Rooms. The bloody Electric Soft Parade! *sighs* We're currently desperately telling ourselves that watching moody indie boys with guitars is a far more enjoyable way to spend an evening than watching booty shaking pop princesses. For some reason, we're having a hard time convincing ourselves of this.
