Arctic Monkeys lead NME Awards nominations

So, those Arctic Monkeys still have it, it would seem. They have scored a record seven nominations in the NME Awards 2008 and, before you ask, no, none of them are in the negative categories. Among the shortlists on which the Monkeys appear are Best British Band, Best Album and Best Track. Having voted for the nominees, NME readers now have a second chance to vote, this time for overall winners. The gongs will be handed out at a London bash on 28 Feb. Full list of nominees is at the bottom of today's Daily.
