MERCURY PRIZE NOMINEES
Coldplay (limp)
Radiohead (angular)
Athlete (crapulent)
The Thrills (dull)
Lemon Jelly (tepid)
The Darkness (ridiculous)
Dizzee Rascal (violent)
Floetry (inane)
Terri Walker (bland)
Martina Topley-Bird (tricky)
Eliza Carthy (folk)
Soweto Kinch (jazz)
No Four Tet, no Beth Gibbons. I am wondering why, as they are both British artists who have produced absolutely superlative albums in the last 12 months. If Radiohead don't stand out head & shoulders above the rest of this lot (Floetry and Soweto Kinch excused as I haven't heard them [has anyone?] but judging from the AMG entry for Floetry I'm not pinning any hopes on them) then I obviously cannot tell arse from Elbow. Who I hope get nominated next year.
