I've been trying to pre-guess this my almost certain list is The xx, These New Puritans, Cate Le Bon, Pulled Apart By Horses, Example, Noah and the Whale, Mumford & Sons, Muse and Gorillaz.

Who do you think will make the list next week?

out of them I've heard the xx, Mumford, Biffy, Dizzee and Foals album. And I wouldn't give it to any of them.

Looking forward to listening to the others sometime soon, especiallyy the I am Kloot album which I'm still to get my hands on.

Great to see I am kloot nominated even though the albums only been out a couple if weeks, I'd love to see them win it.

Maybe this nomination will give them the success they deserve

I would be over the moon if Kloot won. And I so, so hope they do.

I suppose that if nothing else, being nominated will hopefully give them that little bit more attention that they richly deserve.

What is strange about the nominations is that I've heard (or got) them all - usually when they are announced there's half a dozen I have to go and find out about not this year - I can't decide if this is because I've got my finger better on the pulse or that the niminations are less left field this year.

Got £10 on Paul Weller to win at 18/1.

Don't like him, but seeing as how in the past winners who've been criticised are often followed by the opposite - i.e. going from a small selling artist to the favourite or biggest selling (i.e. Antony & The Johnsons to Arctic Monkeys), he fits the bill well.

She's 9/1 at the moment with Pat Power.

She was nominated last year and didnt win. I have a suspicion that people might view the two records as one period of sustained brilliance and reward it.

I'm gonna throw 20 notes on her to win it tonight. Besides - its the best record of the year for me.

For anyone who didn't know, Amazon are selling DRM-free downloads of each of the Mercury nominated albums for only £3! There's some bargains there :D

Clearly a leak somewhere along the line. One wonders will the fact that theres been some kind of a leak effect the result?

I always thought it was between Marling and The XX. Both records are better than Wellers. Still have €20 on Marling at 6/1.

      Superscally Superhuman AC DC inspired charity Run ....Melbourne to Brisbane ...Highway to Help

      By northernangel · Posted

      No dramas man, I just like to follow others journeys as well. Get the inspiration, give out inspiration and the outdoors is the clear the head place to do it. I'm heading out for a easy trail run today I think, 10k- 10 mile we'll see how we go. I've got a half marathon in October I'm well unprepared for hahs

      Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

      The Cheap Thrills at Mountford Hall, Liverpool.    They've been around for a while and have built up a large local following. Last night was their biggest yet, at a sold out 2,200 capacity venue.    It was a big old joyous, indie singalong from start to finish, the band clearly having the time of their lives. The debut album is out next month and they seem to be going down well on the festival circuit, maybe their time has finally come.   2 supports, I unfortunately missed Credits but the few songs they have on Spotify sound good, Americana vibes. The other was M60, reportedly Gary Neville's favourite band. If that's true, he's as clueless about music as he is football. To be fair, their sound was poor, maybe with a clearer sound they'd have been better but it was pretty dull.

      I can see them all merging along with the Tory’s . Restore curently couldn’t muster enough candidates to be a viable option . I lasted 4 mins and couldn’t watch any more . Lowe is just dull along with racist
