Mercury Music Prize

So here are is the shortlist;

Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
The Horrors - Primary Colours
Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires
Glasvegas - Glasvegas
La Roux - La Roux
Florence And The Machine - Lungs
Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
Lisa Hannigan - Sea Sew
The Invisible - the Invisible
Led Bib - Sensible Shoes
Sweet Billy Pilgrim - Twice Born Men
Speech Debelle - Speech Therapy

To hell with impartiality, I hope speech debelle gets it, with florence coming in second, although she doesnt really need the mercury effect.
Barclaycard Mercury are streaming a 30 second clip of each artist, which is why im linking you places where you can hear the whole of the albums in question for free, well the one's you're least likely to have heard allready.
