My Mercury Prize list

"It's the blandness, pure and simple."


Julian Cope - You gotta problem with me
Johnny Boy - Johnny Boy
Soweto Kinch - A life in the day of B19
Siobhan Donaghy - Ghosts
Long Blondes - Someone to drive you home
The Tuss - The Tuss
Simian Mobile Disco - Attack Decay Sustain Release
Plastic Operator - Different Places
Maps - We can create
The Aliens - Astronomy for dogs
Pop Levi - The return to form Black Magick Party
Fields - Everything last winter


though on the "real" list I have listened to and enjoyed Bat for Lashes, Amy Winehouse, Basquiat Strings - they would not knock out any of the above.
