Mercury Music Prize 2008 tittle-tattle aggregator

Adele should turn up in blackface

Or holding an Estelle bottle opener

And Estelle should shove some cushions up her jumper and cotton wool in her cheeks

My logic for Estelle:

- There have been two big rock winners in a row, and before that was Antony, no black artist has won it since Dizzee in what 03?

- People have actually heard of her but they can still at least look a bit credible and edgy by broadsheet standards.

- If Radiohead win they'll just look lazy.

I wonder how the members of Portishead are feeling at the mo? being overlooked for the shortlist

After all that intensive hard work on that new album too

they only made another album to win awards and now it's all ruined

Expect next record to be all downbeat and sulky to reflect grave disappointment.

Just in time for the 2016 Summer Olympics

radio 1 newsbeat this morning...

Portishead 'should win' Mercury
http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_7518000/7518842.stm

Apparently Portishead are doing a cover of Ultravox's Lament

Also, no female act has won the award since 2002 (Ms Dynamite).

that would be amazing (xp)

No point choosing the best winner. It's all fkn politics. No interest.

Have Los Campesinos been mentioned once on this thread, out of interest? Doesn't look like it to me. :-D

Portishead what is on your ipod is it 'Teardrop' by your fellow West Countrymen Massive Attack?

Your favourite jokes about trip-hop...

For what it's worth, Girls Aloud have only been mentioned once on this thread thus far and Sugababes not at all.

It ain't for nothing that Los Campesinos looks a little like Dom Passantinos when you squint at it, they excel in pissing off everyone in the music industry. And that's why I (l) them.

they must feel NUMB, and that the MMP is run by COWBOYS. maybe to cheer up they will have a cup of tea and a BISCUIT.

^^^this dude clearly ain't going to Indietracks this year

Guardian doubtless already moaning about lack of Tuung, Adem, twirly birds chopping wood etc.

So are there acts called Polar Bear and Sennen? How about ... Dreams Burn Down? In A Different Place?

Indietracks looks like hell on earth

Zoey Van Goey? Slow Down Tallahassee? Socks And Shoes? Roadside Poppies? Tortoise Shout!?

these are real band names?

^kick this sick bastard out

these are real band names? are damn great fr sure.

MILKY WIMPSHAKE might be the worst band name I have ever seen.

hey Dom maybe there will be an Innocent smoothie stand for you

ha look what turned up in my RSS reader: via Amazon New Releases RSS

Hamfatter - What Part of Hamfatter Do You Not Understand?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Part-Hamfatter-You-Understand/dp/B001C3MYEY/

What Part of Hamfatter Do You Not Understand? - turning it around, I understand that you are a bunch of no talent lucky chancers that hoodwinked an idiot businessman that knows nothing about music

look at the front cover - coming to a bargain bucket in January 2010 at 2.99 in a HMV sale

would 500-1 to the make the Mercury Prize 2009? be generous odds

http://thoughts.bjsintay.com/wp-content/turn_around.jpg

Is there actually a steam train to the festival? That's nice. I would consider going for that alone.

gonna just quietly sneak away from that li'l BBCode faux pas

Indietracks looks like hell on earth

Blueski, we agree about something music-related -- this calls for a celebration.

Martian, do you have a nickname for the band COLDPLAY?

I mentioned them elsethread elseboard, but i guess that doesn't count to LJ. No Girls Aloud mention because Tangled Up is by some margin their weakest album, and Sugababes haven't had an album within the date limits have they?

I tell a lie, Change came out in October. Well how 'bout that?

kinda wanna go now

I got that Hamfatter album in the post about a year ago. I listened to it a generous once
