The Mercury Music Prize 2012

[RFUS]

Sure is Roof Dogg.

Even though she's probably not released anything this year, I'm still amazed Pj Harvey hasn't been nominated...

Ha, maybe she's finally too mainstream.

[h=2]Mercury Prize 2012 judge Simon Frith says this year's shortlist, which includes Plan B and Jessie Ware, has "no standout record".[/h]

Amazed that he would come out and say something like that.

Amazed that he would come out and say something like that.

Surely he was saying that it's quite close and there isn't a clear favourite?

Which I'd agree with.

 

[Brownie]

I'd probably go for one of Cast - All Change or possibly Shed Seven's A Maximum High.

Both great shouts Mr Brown

Surely he was saying that it's quite close and there isn't a clear favourite?

Which I'd agree with.

The shortlist for the Barclaycard Mercury Prize contains no “standoutâ€￾ albums because none were made this year, according to the chairman of the judges.

.....

Wow, that is a strange statement!

And I don't agree with it.

I've only heard a few tracks from Django Django - sounds like a rehash of old Beta Band material to me? Not a bad thing that mind.

 

[Alio]

My money is on Alt-J

Damn it. They won.

They were 9-1 at this point in time.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Damn it. They won.

They were 9-1 at this point in time.

*changes original statement to predict Alt-J to win*

After giving the Alt-J album more listens I think I prefer it to Django Django now. Either would have been worthy winners.

Well deserved I think.
