do you see what i’ve done with the title there? probably my proudest moment. anyway, the mercury prize nominations have been announced. as the title suggests, gorillaz have missed out. i’m disappointed. out of those that have made it, i’d probably like to see foals or wild beasts win it please. thanks.

so, those nominations in full..

biffy clyro. only revolutions
corinne bailey. rae the sea
dizzee rascal. tongue n’ cheek
foals. total life forever
i am kloot. sky at night
kit downes. trio golden
laura marling. i speak because i can
mumford & sons. sigh no more
paul weller. wake up the nation
the xx. xx
villagers. becoming a jackal
wild beasts. two dancers

i’m more excited about the popjustice twenty quid music prize probably.
