There could be a few thumped bands on the Choice list later in the year though. You lot, Spook, dudleys, rollers/sparkers, and others I've probably missed out.

doesn't posting on thumped immedietely exclude you from the Choice awards?

 

[Moods For Mallards]

I can't keep up with music. It doesn't matter if any of those records are good.

RichieJape? Gotta be one of the favourites considering how good the reviews have been.

Considering last week's spat it'd be funny to see JC present Vinnie with the award. You'd have to get some new leather trousers for the night guy.

Hopefully that will all change and thumped bands will get to feel the pointless rise in expectations and hollow disappointment that comes with the end-year round-up.

PS: Laura Marling for the mercury

posting on ontherecord boosts yr chances

 

[MDR]

I think the Choice thing is pretty fair - the mercury seems a bit more murky.

 

[coast to coast]

There's no such thing as a bad year for music, only a bad year for music journalism.

 

[IFF]

i really thought the british sea power album was brilliant, a fine cd

 

[Jim Daniels]

PS: Laura Marling for the mercury

Good album alright. Great voice and a nice trumpet appears on one of the tracks

Hurray for trumpets played sweetly and or sadly

She's only 18 years old, which is mildly ridiculous...

It's a good record yeah. They played a really super gig in Whelan's a few months back. Really chaotic shit.

 

[pissypants]

who won last year?

Exactly.
