Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid

Yes, that's right, Elbow won the Mercury Prize 2008 with their fantastic album "The Seldom Seen kid".

The Klaxons - WHY?! Better than the tripe that won it last year? Not much... They decided to wreck the podium when collecting their award, you think they'd know how a microphone works...i.e. don't put it right in your mouth!!


I was hoping for Bat For Lashes, which is one of my favourite albums of 2007. Saying that, I'm always weary of the bands I like winning the prize due to 'the curse' and all... so lets hope The Klaxons aren't affected by it...


Bat For Lashes - Fur And Gold
