The Lex 20 Pence Indie Prize

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

GOOD GOD it is the Mercury tonight, I had completely forgotten. Which means it's also time for the Lex 20p Indie Prize, when THE LEX rewards the best in indie with a shiny twenty pence piece. Last years' winners were Tompaulin.

Please use this secret poll to indicate which top INDIE ACT from the last 12 months the Lex should be rewarding for their efforts towards the indie cause. The shortlist will be announced later today (i.e. you'd better vote quickly) and the actual winner will be announced - AND A TRACK PLAYED - at Poptimism on Thursday night.

POLL CLOSED - SHORTLIST ANNOUNCED

Thanks to all voters. Apologies to voters whose nominations were not used in the final 10.

My nomination do credit to the word "indie". They are a guitar band but still manage to make good pop music! A rarity in the last 12 months.

Should the nominations be viewable to others? Or else we'll just get 10 x 'Arctic Monkeys' and 10 x 'Paris Hilton'

I would like to point out on behalf of Tompaulin that we never got our shiny 20p! :( THIS AWARD IS A SHAM ETC. I am now going off to nominate my OTHER band, hehehe...

Shimura Curves must be a shoe-in for this.

Oh, maybe I have misunderstood this nomination process. Is it supposed to be for LJ-related bands only? I am confused!

In the meantime
