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.

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

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

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

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: NO ! Mercury was a telecommunications company in the early 90s -- djmartian, Tuesday, 22 July 2008

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

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.
