Mercury Prize Nominee Awesomeness

[arkany]

Alright, so I have a thing for the Mercury Prize.  I have a one stop shopping location if I'm in need of either cool music or inspiration.  They were the first award giving, chest beating collective to award Tricky(before he had to make a cover album and was an asshole to Tuffy's girl), Portishead (before they disappeared and reappeared with their new anti-bourgoisie sound), and Massive Attack (before it went from 3 guys to 1).  It's normally my little secret, but I think the internet arrived or something cuz they have their own MySpace page.

Regardless, I thought I would make it easy and post links to their amazon MP3 page.  Cuz I couldn't find a single cd selling all their stuff.

I hope you like good music too:

• Burial - Untrue
• Radiohead - In Rainbows (hey, not my fault you didn't buy it when it was pay what you please...)
  
• The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement
• Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
• Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim
• Estelle - Shine
• British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
• Adele - 19
• Robert Plant And Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
• Neon Neon - Stainless Style
• Rachel Unthank And The Winterset - The Bairns
• Portico Quartet - Knee-Deep In The North Sea

So far, I'm really liking Portico Quartet, Elbow, and Burial.  My friend Paul likes Adele.

PS - I find it disheartening that I don't sound normal when trying to write this.  Buuuuut frak it, I love this shit.  And my normal music buddy is 4 shit on the phone.
