Black Rose Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Who to win?

Mrk Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I love like 5 of those albums, not an easy choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Probably the first year in a while I've heard all 12 albums Smart money would be on Bowie, but I would put a £1 on Laura Mvula to be a surprise winner, you know what the mercury judges are like...

Mrk Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yeah, they'd probably rule Bowie out just because it would be too much of an obvious choice, sadly. I'm undecided between Jon Hopkins and Rudimental now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Apperantly My Bloody Valentine's mbv is banned because they released their album independently so it's not even considered a real album. This Mercury Prize is beyond stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I voted Bowie on the poll, but Laura Mvula is a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Didn't realise you had to pay about £6,000 to enter. That sucks. What genuinely small band can afford that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 That's so lame. Is this a pension fund or a "prestigious award"? You think they'd get enough from the sponsors to cover costs. Obviously these things cost money to organise and stage but surely they can generate enough funds from sources outside the actual artists? The award is well known enough.
