Have we decided the nominees for the Lex 20p indie prize yet (or did that happen in August as well and I missed it)? If not, p'raps an POLL on that today might be an idea - the Mercury is awarded tonight!

I've noticed a distinct improvement on the quality of discussion and analysis on Poptimism over the past few months.

Well done everyone, give yourselves a round of applause for keeping me entertained!
