Playlouder - Music is the Network

A tenner of it, at William Hill's odds of 6-1. And 5 on those portico chaps at 10/1 in case they do their five-yearly 'pick the most obscure one so we still maintain an air of credibility' schtick. Didn't Jeremy put some money on Foals winning it in 08, after Klaxons won last year, I seem to remember?

I'm rooting for British Sea Power, as I'm guessing they could really use the cash and then that'll mean they're guarateed to carry on for a few more years

I was just listening to that, funnily enough

they're excellent, i've only just realised

also

it's just occured to me

if burial does win, how is he going to accept his award and preserve his anonymity

at the same time

it has been raised, that point.

ah... but how do we know he's a he???

I think it's Natasha Khan

some journalist did an interview with him

and said he was a fairly non-descript looking bloke

maybe it's actually another of Alex Turner's Arctic Monkeys side-projects...

it's Banksy

shoot it

For the last time: fuck this record. Bone bag sequencer-punching for retards who give themselves lobotomies with butter knives.

well, it'll definitely win then won't it?

he would walk up

he will wear a box on his head with 'burial' written on it. he told me last night... as i washed his feet from the dusty london streets...

all leftfield electronic people tend to be really boring looking, i mean would richard james have become so unrecognisable if he hadnt done all the scary warping stuff to his face

I will interrupt my holiday to say this: Elbow? fucking Elbow? Bollocks.

...and marke's right, the live chat doesn't seem to work in IE7, although the socket server is, as the stalk feed is still updating. I'll have a look next week!

Elbow INDEED. Apparently it was ALMOST Rachel Unthank

Which is as good a reason as any to direct this chat in the way of Bowling for Soup

I'm going to cry now.

Nothing WORKS. Stupid YouTube.
