Yet another dire shortlist. To be expected maybe, but I honestly thought that Antony winning it last year represented a real seachange for the award and really hoped to see the likes of SFA, King Biscuit Time, Adem, Tunng and Euros Childs nominated this year. But no - the list is once again filled with the big guitar albums of the past 12 months (AM, Muse), the 'next big thing' (Guillemots, Hot Chip), a bunch of underachievers which the major labels desperately need to sell more of (Isobel Campbell, Editors, Hawley) and token nevergonnawinit folk/jazz/classical/world albums. Oh well, Thom Yorke gets my vote then.
