Barclaycard Mercury Prize

WOW I didnt realise it had been practically a year since we last posted. But the Mercury award is here again and due to be announced on tuesday. This years nominees are:

* Bat for Lashes – Two Suns
* Florence and the Machine – Lungs
* Friendly Fires – Friendly Fires
* Glasvegas – Glasvegas
* Kasabian – West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
* La Roux – La Roux
* Led Bib – Sensible Shoes
* Lisa Hannigan – Sea Sew
* Speech Debelle – Speech Therapy
* Sweet Billy Pilgrim – Twice Born Men
* The Horrors – Primary Colours
* The Invisible – The Invisible

We're both hoping for a very deserving Natasha Khan to pick up the award after being piped to the post by Klaxons a few years ago. I however have a horrible feeling that La Roux will win. Not only is her music not good enough but when we saw her live (supporting Lily Allen) we were convinced that she was miming and thats just not right for a Mercury award winner!

However, if Kasabian win then I might just cry!
