NME USA Awards 2008: MCR, The Killers, Kate Nash Get Some Win In

The NME USA Awards were broadcast live Wednesday, and I'm going to do you a favor and just list the winners, courtesy themusicslut:
Best Video: Justice - DANCE
Best International Live Band: Arcade Fire
Best New International Live Band: Klaxons
Best New Live Band: Vampire Weekend
Best New Solo Artist: Mark Ronson

Best Classic LP: Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray
Best Indie Track: The Killers - "Tranquilize"
Best Breakthrough Track: MGMT - "Time To Pretend"

Wanna know who the competition was? A full list of nominees is here. Interesting that Kate Nash trumped Lily Allen, considering Lily was a factor in her rise to fame.
One thing I don't really get? The usage of the word "indie." But now I have that Kelly Clarkson song stuck in my head, oy.

Oh, well...
I'm currently in love with that MGMT track!
Now, I have "It's a shame about Ray" stuck in my head!
*bashes head on wall*
first k errang puts paramour above Queen in the best ock bands ever and now NME thinks MCR are i ndie.
what is going on with music mags these ays?
My Chemical Romance is its own genre of usic. Its pure brilliancy.
and im disgusted t hat they would even put mcr in the same boat s indie hippies.
i mean come on people -_-
& MCR
& I'm offended that they put them under the same Genre as Indie.
pfffffffffffffffffffft.
The Klaxons are Indie.
NOT My Chem
By the way :)
...other than that, pretty good :) Yay for arcade,klaxons & killers!
you really must be tripping.
you keep your indie and leave mcr to the fans.
Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, and Arctic Monkeys are great bands.
Kate Nash is awesome too.
And MCR...indie? They aren't even actually indie...they are on a major label for gods sake!
