The Lex 20p Indie Prize 2008

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's that time of year again!

We want your nominations for the 4th Annual Lex 20p Indie Prize shortlist!

[Poll #1252320]

Nominations will close at lunchtime on Thursday, and the final poll will be posted soon after (remind me if I forget!), with the winner announced next week.

Last year's winner was Art Brut, beating the Arcade Fire and Mark Ronson. As ever, the definition of 'indie' is up to you but nominations should be vaguely kept to acts that have released something in the UK in the last 12 months (if you get stuck for ideas here is the Mercury Prize nominations thread).

Using this criteria:

-- Bon Iver
-- MGMT
-- Black Kids /Ting Tings
-- Annie (i'm not sure if we really can count Robyn as 2008 as she keeps popping up the same stuff every year since 2005)
-- The Kooks
-- Lykke Li / Foals
-- Scouting For Girls cakewalk
-- Ladyhawke

Someone has to nominate Lykke Li!

Well someone else has nominated Alphabeat as well, so you can go back and change your vote Frank!

But what if I do that and then they don't make the shortlist?

Good call on MGMT - that song they did, you know, that one, er, anyway - it was pretty good! If I could remember what it was called I would youtube it now!

MGMT don't irritate me! I don't like them at all but they don't make me angry like the Ting Tings.
