It's shortlist time!
The Mercury Music Prize shortlist was announced today. Here's the list of nominations:
RADIOHEAD 'Hail to the Thief'
DIZZEE RASCAL 'Boy In Da Corner'
THE THRILLS 'So Much for the City'
SOWETO KINCH 'Conversations with the Unseen'
FLOETRY 'Floetic'
THE DARKNESS 'Permission to Land'
COLDPLAY 'A Rush of Blood to the Head'
MARTINA TOPLEY-BIRD 'Quixotic'
ELIZA CARTHY 'Anglicana'
ATHLETE 'Vehicles and Animals'
TERRI WALKER 'Untitled'
LEMON JELLY 'Lost Horizons'
Hmm. I don't have too many of these albums. According to NME, the current favorites are Radiohead and Coldplay. I'm interested in getting the Thrills' album, although Pitchfork only gave it a 6.9 out of 10. But what do those pretentious hipsters know anyway?
Anyone want to venture a guess as to who will win?
