[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Right kids! Time to nominate the artist or band who you feel deserves the accolade (won last year by The Automatic, sort of) for services to Indie over the last year.

[Poll #1049850]

The final shortlist of acts to will be polled at around 5pm today so GET NOMINATING!

(Of course, 'indie' is completely open to interpretation...)

i don't think that "indie" is traditionally in the title of the prize.

it was last year, so now we have a new tradition :)

Yes! The good thing about the Mercurys is that they're always the first week of September and hence easy to go back and find in the archives! I have tagged all the relevant entries now.

um, except the one where the automatic won last year...

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

What? I'm sure I tagged that one too. Perhaps I forgot to actually press the button. Anyway, done now.

Heheh, looking at the nominations so far it's like 'spot the odd one out' as regards Lex's own nomination :)

In the spirit of the actual Mercury Prize then yes, but I'll be fairly lenient (eg as lenient as including Anthony & Johnsons in actual Mercury Prize).

Right, I'll change mine from The Shins then. British acts this year have been mostly rubbish, sadly.

Or maybe I won't.
