Whatever you think I deserve, that’s not what I’ll get
6 September 2006Unusually, the Mercury Prize went to the odds-on favourites, and the Arctic Monkeys go home with the award for best British album of 2006. I go back and forth on the merits of their album: sometimes I think it’s brilliant, sometimes it sounds contrived. As I blogged yesterday, I really have no idea if it’s the best album frmo the short-list, though. I should listen to the rest.
Technorati tags:
Watched the ‘Dead Ringers’ take on The Artic Monkeys (and James, Blunt, Kate Melua and The Streets.) Fell about laughing, accurate and funny.
I’m now taking bets on whether tshirts at Mogwai’s merch table will read “Arctic Monkeys: are shite” or “James Blunt: is shite”. Especially after what Barry said about him a few months back…something about being less talented than his blood-filled vomit…
Howdy dan, how’s your day so far?
Have 2 humble suggestions for the T-shirts. On the front. Artic Monkeys: spotty, and shite. On the back. Supergrass did it better.
