			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thetripwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/kingselbow.jpg"><img src="http://www.thetripwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/kingselbow.jpg" alt="kingselbow" title="kingselbow" width="500" height="172" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17470" /></a></p>
<p>Last night&#8217;s <a href="http://www.brits.co.uk/" target="new"><B>BRIT</b></a> Awards saw <a href="http://www.kingsofleon.com/" target="new">Kings of Leon</a> follow up their first Grammy with their first (two) BRITs, while Grammy darlings <a href="http://www.coldplay.com/" target="new">Coldplay</a> were totally snubbed in favor of alt/indie/prog rockers <a href="http://www.elbow.co.uk/" target="new">Elbow</a>.<br />
<span id="more-17467"></span><br />
Soul singer <a href="http://www.iamduffy.com/" target="new">Duffy</a> was the big winner of the night, taking home the award for British Female Solo Artist, Best British Breakthrough Act and Best Album for <i>Rockferry</i>. </p>
<p>Next in line with the most awards was, ironically, the very un-British Kings of Leon, who took home the BRITs for International Group and International Album for <i>Only By The Night</i>. American <a href="http://www.katyperry.com/" target="new">Katy Perry</a> also got a little English love, winning the award for International Female Solo Artist. The male equivalent went to <a href="http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/" target="new">Kanye West</a>.</p>
<p>But the biggest upset of the night (at least by our standards) was the award for Best British Group. The nominees were <a href="http://www.radiohead.com/deadairspace/" target="new">Radiohead</a>, Coldplay, <a href="http://www.girlsaloud.co.uk/noflash.php" target="new">Girls Aloud</a>, <a href="http://www.takethat.com/" target="new">Take That</a> and Elbow. Particularly with Radiohead and Coldplay having released two of the year&#8217;s most critically acclaimed albums in <i>In Rainbows</i> and <i>Viva La Vida</i> respectively, it&#8217;s a bit surprising (and refreshing, might we add) to see Elbow come out on top. </p>
