Super Extra Choice Music Party
Feb 28 2008
Super Extra Bonus Party win the Choice Music Prize 2007.
I’m still in absolute shock. I woke up this morning to hear it all over the radio and see it in the papers which reminded me it actually happened.These lads are my best mates. I’m absolutely delighted for them obviously. A mate of mine and the band, Ciaran, said to me last night that he had a feeling that yesterday was a special day for all of us as friends (for numerous reasons) and bought a few bottles of champagne. None of the band thought that far ahead because it just wasn’t an issue. There was no talk of winning, just of the performance and the general buzz of a nomination. When Jim announced the winner, I freaked out (You can see it below); it all seemed so incredulous. I ended up running downstairs and jumping onstage to congratulate them like an eejit. But it was worth it.
The result is an interesting one as The Boners music is so polarising. A few people last night expressed their disappointment to me and the look of shock all around was something to behold. I personally was convinced that there was no way 12 single-minded judges could decide on an album so eclectic. Surely someone would object to hip-hop? And I was of the opinion that just because there has been unpredictability in the past, that does not make a precedent but yet again, Choice has proved its stripes.
Here’s some videos of the night (more to follow)
SEBP - Everything Flows (Choice Performance)
Roisin Murphy - Overpowered acoustic (Choice Performance)
SEBP - Fav Things (Choice Performance)
The announcement freakout

1Fair fucks to the lads!
Met Mike on the bus on his way into vicar st, he seemed really nervous and said that he really didnt think they had a chance, that the bookies had stopped taking bets on Cathy Davey, and that they were 12/1 which he said was ‘really generous’, haha!
No more gettin the 49 anymore eh!? Stretched Limos all the way

9fair play fanfukingtastic!!!!
they should have a parade in newbridge in your honor
So delighted.
10I wrote almost exactly the same thing about the lads - I even used the words ‘eclectic’ and ‘polarize’ and ‘12 judges’. Sorry.
It’s brilliant though, I’m over the moon for the lads, well deserved. Just waiting for the shock to ease off a bit!
You can’t beat an unpredictable win!
11Delighted for ye lads. Very much deserved in my humble opinion! Congratulations!
12so chuffed for you guys. I said it on Aoife Mc’s post- such a refreshing result for Irish music.
13“A few people last night expressed their disappointment” - must have been the journos used to cover the Meteors. Well done to the Choice judges to another unusual but not undeserved award. Its always good to reward something new and fresh - it probably wont be the liquid lounge next time your in Cork!
14Fair fucks lads! Fucking Class
15great stuff!
16thanks for the videos-deadly to see them and the freakout is brilliant!
It was very fortunate for me to find your blog. But I am so tired I was going to plug the magazine in my del.icio.us and forgot!.
Today is my mother’s 88th birthday. Feb.29. In 2004 it was Oscar© day.
Saint Patrick’s is right on the corner.
17high five!
18Liquid lounge is a great wee spot!!
Well said tina, I couldn’t have put it better myself.

Game on?
20jaysus…i go away fer a coupla days an allova sudden you’ve gone all ‘overground’. I guess you suck now ;P
A well deserved win an a bit of a shakeup, nice one!
