The only one of those I have is Arctic Monkeys. Are The View any good? | ||

I have The View - it's quite good. Cornershop without the sitars. The Klaxons' one's not bad either. The only other one I've wanted to get was Fionn Regan's. I'm already fed up with Arctic Monkeys and that Wino chick, and the others I don't know well enough to hate yet... | ||

I only have the Arctics and not even listened to it, it seems to have disappeared | ||

Nobody has complained about the lack of a nomination for The Good The Bad and The Queen. Strange that!! | ||

The Mercury Prize is not & never will be a barometer for the state of British music. I hate to think how much back-slapping & palm-greasing takes place in order get a nomination. M-People have won the damn thing before, nuff said. |
