They both have the Kaiser Chiefs => they BOTH LOSE.

Popjustice list is disappointingly rub, actually.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS? KAISER CHIEFS? Fuck off. PJ might be well over the shark if this is serious.

Rachel or Verbalicious to win, please.

Mercury has 1 album I really like (although haven't listened to for a while, uh oh will it endure oh who cares?) and 1 that I think would make an awesome EP (Goat! Team).


PopJustice £20 Music Prize has 'Oh My Gosh', 'Ooh La La' (please win), 'Negotiate With Love', 'Wake Me Up' which are all great, and 'Crazy Chick' which is okay. Therefore PJ wins, but I am still more disappointed in PJ for the same reasons as umlauts.

Mercury has two and a half albums I like; PJ has one single I love, and quite a few I think are pretty good. So pj has it, but it's surprisingly close. Uniting Nations to win PJ, if only to confirm the H2 theory. (Actually losing confirms it even better, esp. if they miss out to Mylo who is the indie-ist rip off of proper trash dance).

In which I temporarily turn into DJ Martian

Hurrah! I've just gone out and made my long overdue purchase of the MIA album. And Enter the Wu-Tang, as the tape broke.
