Mercury Music Prize Nominations
Praeserpium Machinarum:
Well I for one think Antony and the Johnsons are fantastic and Hegarty is one hell of a singer... the music is neat too :)
But at the same time I wanted M.I.A to win, since Arular is one sexy revolution, for me anyway.
QHD:
Yes, Merkava, the population of Britain collectively decided that bland music is best. In the national referendum that is the Mercury Music Prize, we voted overwhelmingly for Antony and The Johnsons - it is clear, utterly clear, that no one here has any musical taste whatsoever. The only possible good response is the abolition of Britain post-haste.

Meh. The British have proven themselves, once again, to be worshipers of moderately boring music in the non-hard rock/metal/Eric Clapton world.

I could be wrong, but I think the MMP is decided by music journos and critics, not the public. And very, very rarely do I pay any attention whatsoever to critics.
saturnine1979:
Ouch, guess I'm the only one coming to the defense of ol' Antony. I happen to enjoy his music immensely. I think it's gorgeous, and the man has a wonderfully beautiful androgynous voice.
The scandalous part of this whole thing is that Antony is essentially a New Yorker, but he was originally born in Chichester, thus making him elegible for the prize. I believe he was as discombobulated as everyone else when he won.
Sorry for actually liking an artist the rest of the board seems to loathe, sometimes I forget that the snob-o-meter is set to KILL in here.

If you're referring to Antony and the Johnsons, you couldn't possibly be more wrong.
