Apra Silver Scrolls 2004The gloves are off! In an interview with Grant Smithies in the Sunday Star Times over the weekend, Betchadupa's Liam Finn reveals that he doesn't mind who wins NZ's premiere award for songwriting, as long as it's not Dimmer.

"Really, I don't care who wins, so long as it's not Dimmer. To me Dimmer just sounds like Shayne Carter trying to be Marvin Gaye, but he's left out all the Marvin. He sounds really gay."

Ahh, from the mouths of babes! Shayne Carter - the main man behind Dimmer - replied as such...

"That's priceless, bro. All I can say is, if Betchadupa epitomise toughness, I'm glad I'm not tough ... It's so subjective, so as far as who wins. Pinch of salt, bro. But I'm looking forward to the awards night. I don't usually go to those kind of dos, but we're going this year, even if it's just to have a scrap with Betchadupa."

Brilliant stuff. Like our very own Blur v. Oasis, or Robbie v. Oasis, or Paul McCartney v. Oasis, or something.

Anyway, we'll be there on the night, scribbling away some notes, and trying to stay out of any free-alcohol/petty-grudge inspired melees. Stay tuned...
