This is a sort of landmark for me - the first year I haven't heard any of the records on the Mercury shortlist. (The Scritti only through laziness).

I've only heard Sway. It's pretty good though and would be a deserved winner.

"Swaaaaay, I don't like you anymore"
"I don't care, I'm just followin' fashion"

Safe.

time to shave, methinks

I have heard most of the Mercury list, Hawley was one of my fav records of last year and Scritti is ace. If the Arct*c M*nk*ys win I shall do someone an injury.

Sadly I reckon it's them or Sway.

I have never heard of Hawley! NEITHER have I heard of:

Lou Rhodes (sister of Nick?)
Guillemots
Zoe Rahman??

Will Young to win BEST VIDEO shurely.

Lou Rhodes is apparently HER out of LAMB
Zoe R = a jazzatrix
Guillemots = ask The Lex

Haha. I have received the Guillemots album but have not yet dared listen to it. It looks a bit rubbish really.

The Guillemots drummer used to be in Suitable Case For Treatment, who did a collaboration with Jon Snow and are superior in every way

Actually I have heard some of the Scritti album cos I saw them play it at the GIG INNIT.

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

i have only heard one as well, can you guess which?

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

I've heard the Thom Yorke, and most of the Arctic Monkeys. Which actually beats the Popjustice (just Girls Alouds), except the AM's have negative weight on the Scales of Pop.

Tom you will like the Sway record, I predict.
