As I continue to prep for my journey northward to the 2008 Sasquatch Music Festival, I'm sharing music from some of the bands I'm looking forward to checking out live.
I've already written about the soft, intimate vocals of Joshua Morrison and today I'm spotlighting a band that is already a bit hit in the UK: The Kooks. I like to balance out both my iPod as well as my festival-going experience with equal parts pretty song writing and bouncy, upbeat rock.

Mojo magazine have announced the shortlist of nominations voted by readers for their annual awards – the 2008 Mojo Honours List. Alex Turner has lots to celebrate, with four nominations split between his two bands – in the Best Album and Best Live Act categories for Arctic Monkeys, and Breakthrough Act and Best Song nominations for The Last Shadow Puppets.
The lovely Duffy should also be very happy with three nominations including Breakthrough Act, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds scored two nominations for Best Album and Song of the Year. 
Musos and their followers were out in force for the NME Awards at the IndigO2 this evening. Arctic Monkeys won three awards (Best Band, Best Track and Best Video) out of the seven they were nominated for, making it three years in a row that they've won three awards! NME's Hero Of The Year award went to Pete Doherty (why?) and Brit winner Kate Nash won Best Solo Act. 
Here's your concise guide to who won what at the Brits this evening – Take That, Arctic Monkeys and Foo Fighters were the big winners, with 2 each! I knew Take That would do well! Hurrah!
We had a mix of smart suits and casual clothes from the men on the red carpet at the Brit Awards tonight. It seems to be the case that male musicians' sartorial decisions are based on whether they fly solo or hang in a gang. Ever handsome solo artists Will Young and Shayne Ward kept it classic in tailoring, as did producer extraordinaire Mark Ronson, whereas the cheeky chaps of the Klaxons looked like they'd come straight from the playground in their fun jumpers! 
Well, you guys voted and it's time to collate the data and tell you who your winners are for our PopSugar UK Brit Awards Bets 2008:
The celebs are already arriving for the Brit Awards 2008, and making their way up the red carpet. This is the place to be if you want to see who's arriving – just keep an eye on the ever-expanding gallery.
