Mercury Music Prize 200zzzzzzz

[twistedAM]

the Last Shadow Puppets album was surprisingly unshit.

I expected to hate it but played it the whole way through...once.

 

[Dr. Furface]

I thought that MIA's first album was nominated a couple of years ago - no?

I'd agree that the Burial album is probably the most sonically adventurous on the list, but frankly it just depresses me.

 

[clandestino]

Come on, the Burial album isn't even his best. It was a real let down after the first.

this

 

[clandestino]

portico quartet were the buskers with the wok? kind of like tortoise?

blimey...they were great.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Radiohead or Burial for me. Both great albums.

 

[idioteque]

I voted Radiohead, but I haven't heard any of the others yet, I keep meaning to get the Burial one cause I love Untrue but have been a bit slack in finding new stuff lately...

 

[girasol]

I've only heard Radiohead and Elbow's albums, and I'm going with Elbow.

Portico Quartet played at Offline, didn't they? I remember them being very good, I downloaded a couple of their songs.

(and yes, I do post first, and read after)

[Flashman]

I thought she was born in Sri Lanka?
Like I say, no idea how the rules work, just wondered if it was a factor

Doesn't matter anyway, her first record was nominated in '05.

So that settles it, the MMP judges are a bunch of cunts, fact.

estelle does have quite a big bum, but i think calling her a fat slag is touch over the top, loud...

 

[killer b]

anyone got the odds on burial winning yet btw? thinking about it, he's sure to win...

joint second favourite...

 

[belboid]

third favourite technically - he said pedantically

 

[jb78]

really hope that burial wins it but think it's unlikely. then again every so often they do give it to a forward-thinking dance artist...

 

[janeb]

Love Rachel Unthank so hope she wins - might go and put £10 on her to do just that
