The BRIT Awards: Lana Beats Bonny Bear, Smarter Heads Wonder Where All the British Music Is…

Wait a second – this is ending? Where’s best British Metal act? Best dubstep? Actually where’s some good British music? #BRITS

the Quietus has kindly rounded up all of their tweets from the night, which can serve as the best review you’ll probably see of the BRITs…

Adele flipped the bird when she was cut off making her acceptance speech:

The one thing everyone was talking about post-Brits last night – apart from Ed ‘The Sheeranator’ Sheeran’s titanically exciting performance, obviously – was the fact that Adele gave ITV cameras the finger after her speech was cut short to make way for Blur’s live set. She was right to do so. I’d have done the same.

Music Week notes that the telecast had its highest viewership in seven years…
