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).

OOH. The Hold Steady! I had forgotten them temporarily.

They are one of my favourite bands, sadly I have not heard the new album yet though.

Xhuxk, who generally loves them, says it is their worst album. It also apparently is their most successful/beloved. Contender for Idolator/Pazz & Jop crown. I haven't heard it.

The new one is a grower. It is really good eventually.

It's probably the one I like least, but I am generally a "I preferred their earlier stuff" style indie bore anyway, so that was bound to happen.
