7 Sept - Nationwide Mercury Prize
Bit of a strange competition this. 12 albums chosen as the best of the year, all most deserving and one wins the prize as the best as chosen by a panel of "indursty experts". Even stranger, I agree with their choice this year.
And the winners........Well done to the boys in Franz Ferdinand, who have had am amzaing year and deserve all the plaudits and cash they are currently receiving, including the £20,000 winners booty . Take it all while its still there guys, it won't last forever!
My top 3 from the list would be...
- Franz Ferdinad - Franz Ferdinand
- Belle & Sebastian - Dear catastrophy Waitress
- The Zutons - Who Killed The Zutons
All the goss before the announcment was that The Streets would win but that would have been a travesty and I more than agree with the judges choice. Maybe I should be a judge? Ok maybe not.
