The BBC would like to know who you think will win the Mercury Music Prize. I think it will be Belle and Sebastian, whose recent album 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress' has some intriguing lyrics and a lovely Legoland sheen. I think of it as a crucial by-election after the disappointment of being trounced by Will 'The Wolf Survive?' Young in the Ivor Novello Awards. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/3909513.stm Don't let those spiky angular guitar sad sack of arse bastards Franz Ferdinand win! I have been to two concerts at Somerset House, but I can't be bothered to Report Back yet.
