I am close personal friends w/Milky Wimpshake and Slow Down Tallahasee. They are both lovely sets of people and good bands too.

That's my indie quotient for the week out the way. Keepin' it positive.

Pinefox - Sennen are actually named after the Ride track (which is named after the Cornish village, I assume)? Polar Bear are a jazz group and probably named after the animal. Interestingly, Snow Patrol wanted to be called Polar Bear, also possibly after the Ride track, but legal problems (Yank band called Polar Bear, not the jazz group) prevented them.

martian you are really spoiling us

it is at times like this that i am so profoundly thankful to be ~me~, you lot listen to such awful music sometimes! whereas i have listened to 'high price' maybe 20 times in a row in the past hr

Journos stock quote this week: Burial is the Banksy of the music world

lex you really are spoiling you

^^^ Why was this not nominated? ROBBED!

Can we just do a Lex vs Geir vs whoever poll and be done with it? Loser (or winner, depending how poll is phrased) gets banned forever?

Will the tabloids be staking London dubstep clubs looking for Burial? if Burial wins the award will he turn up with a mask ala Daft Punk / Altern 8?

ok you lot know burial's identity was revealed in...the independent, i believe, some months ago? it wasn't very exciting, i was hoping it'd be britney. benga's album is better anyway

Burial, 2nd row back, on the right

Altern 8 played Truck on Saturday. Well, I say "played", but I mean "stuck on Maximum Hardcore 1990 and left us to it".

I wonder how the dubstep forum massive are reacting to Burial's nomination

Both of them?

^ typical ruranite belittling our thriving urban scenes

Ciara? Wow, Lex, you have odd ears.

GOTTA YA:

Link?

see my pic above, raw p

this thread is white btw

ok that dubstepforum link worth it just for

http://i28.tinypic.com/2ywztaf.jpg

would be so hard to choose between in rainbows and untrue..

Is that what they call Rachel Unthank?

^^^Burial, second from left

oh,and...

NME.COM's possible Mercury Music Prize contenders include:

Babyshambles
The Enemy
The Pigeon Detectives
The Wombats
Ting Tings

Hmm, how many correct there?

from dubstepforum:

Neon Neon can fuck right off for a start, god awful nu-rave nonsense.

er...

LOL

dubstep forum:
"It is Mercury Prize named after Freddie Mercury for Best British album of the past year."

NO ! Mercury was a telecommunications company in the early 90s

OH MY GOD LITERALISM

Future Of The Left – 'Curses'

would live in this alternate reality

in fairness, nme got 8 right in their scattergun list of 213476243567476 possible noms.

Ciara? Wow, Lex, you have odd ears.

she is clearly the greatest pop star of our times though, i mean just klook at her singles alone. goodies, 1 2 step, oh, get up, promise, like a boy, high price = unimpeachable. 4 singles of the year in there. new one is unhinged and amazing. see me in the club rocking christian louboutin, i should be in iraq shawty cuz i am the bomb, got a million dollar house on my earlobe, boy i know you want it so WHAT DO YOU GOT ON IT

clearly a poll for best pop star ever is needed

Greatest pop star ever

OK, they didn't guess Rachel Unthank, Krauss/Plant and the other 'token' ones?

no black woman, no old man, no jazz or folk. correct for their demographic then, i guess, but still.

Robert Plant is old

what is Burial? I thought it must be the name of an LP, like Arcade Fire's Funeral.

Lex says 'you lot' listen to awful music, but I'm not sure to whom he is referring. do the various people on the thread listen to the same music? I don't think Blueski, Martian or I overlap in any way, and I don't know if I've heard any of the Mercury nominees. I listen mostly to Cat's Miaow, Byrds, Bruce Springsteen, Magnetic Fields, and right now Left Banke. You might not like them but I don't think Martian, Blueski or whoever is interested in them.

worth hearing again:

-- djmartian, Tuesday, 22 July 2008

yes, and the NME didn't 'guess' his nomination, is the point.

xpost.

No! Mercury was a planet in the early 1990's until it was declassified as such and now is more currently described as some fossil fuel.
