The shortlist for the 2010 Barclaycard Mercury Prize has been announced this morning (July 20). The names of the 12-strong list were revealed this morning at a press conference at London's Hospital Club. As widely predicted, The XX feature with their self-titled debut, while Wild Beasts, Mumford and Sons and Laura Marling have also been nominated by the prize's jury. This year's NME Awards Godlike Genius Paul Weller features on the shortlist for the first time with his album 'Wake Up The Nation', while Biffy Clyro, Foals and Corinne Bailey Rae have made the cut. Dublin's Villagers are perhaps the biggest surprise to feature on the list, with Manchester veterans I Am Kloot also nominated. The 2010 Barclaycard Mercury Prize shortlist is: Biffy Clyro – 'Only Revolutions' Corinne Bailey Rae – 'The Sea' Dizzee Rascal – 'Tongue N' Cheek' Kit Downes Trio – 'Golden' Foals – 'Total Life Forever' I Am Kloot – 'Sky At Night' Laura Marling – 'I Speak Because I Can' Mumford And Sons – 'Sigh No More' Paul Weller – 'Wake Up The Nation' Villagers – 'Becoming A Jackal' Wild Beasts – 'Two Dancers' The XX – 'XX' Thoughts?

Same. Ive passed my quota for bands this year.

He does it to get more projection from his voice. It's actually a proven technique for singers.

Oh and Mystery Jets for Falls. Although they did it in 2008, so they might not want to recycle acts. Might be a long shot, but I think I might be onto something... Kooks for BDO. They did Falls in 2008 also but I think they're mainstream enough now. And plus they're putting out an album at the end of the year

Well in 3 weeks Falls is announced, so I guess we just eliminate from then... And yeah the chair got bad raps. Ive never seen them live though, would be kinda cool

Yeah JBT are close to being a sure thing. Soundwave have announced 9 acts so far, I wish BDO would leak them too instead of having to wait until September... Laneway isn't that great, would have to be some amazing artists to get me back in 2011. Especially since I am considering Falls festival.

Won't be bigger, but the music will be good. Andy and Gem are talented.

Well Chemical Brothers seems correct, yeah they won't be at BDO because of the March tour. As for National, I think Falls too but you never know. As for Gorillaz, I wouldnt put it past them, I guess we can only dream... As for Phoenix, yes they were here twice but bands return easily too. Plus they havent done a festival here in a while so my money's on them. What usual Aussie bands people reckon we'll see? Surely Cut Copy will get a go but it may clash with their album release. Silverchair? They have a record out at the end of the year... Manics have another record out this year and haven't toured for a while, would be the big UK rock act, plus MGMT havent done a festival since meredith a few years ago and with Congratulations out this year... I agree there's a few big names but there's always big names competing. And they can do mid-afternoon slots, Kasabian did this year. I pulled this list from another site by the way

No Way! Some big BDO 2011 Leaks I found out about today. Now whether they're true or not... THEN, LATER: My pick is Falls for National. Given all the rumors and album releases and past line-ups the big day out 2011 could very well look like this. Stone Temple Pilots Hole Gorillaz My Chemical Romance the National Hot Hot Heat MGMT Deftones Dropkick Murphys the Streets Ok Go Chemical Brothers Fat Boy Slim M.I.A LCD Soundsystem The Black Keys Manic Street Preachers Arcade Fire Phoenix

I like MGMT, just not that much for an avi and sig.

Hey, this new Cut Copy song sounds very inspired by Kasabian. It's like dance meets thumping, lad-rock. An interesting shift.

Or in a sunshower? lol

Haha seems last time's tape got around a bit. Yeah, people, check out the band "Animal Kingdom", from the UK. Seriously. It's nice, soft indie rock.

What gave it away, really?

They were charging too much in my opinion.

They have two gigs in Melb Grace, one free one for those who pay for their proper show too!

I love Sunburn! Come on, its not brilliant that album though

Nailed it. Australia. You're pretty damn clever. Here's the tracks you reviewed. Here you go Fietssleutel! ‘In Colours’ Paper Dolls (NEW ZEALAND) Off their album ‘In Colours’ (2010) I agree, the instrumental part is the best. It’s a real bright opener which starts their album too, from a duo from…. NZ of all places! They are practically unheard of. Dad got me onto them this year. It's a risky bold opener, but it kinda sets up the sunny, optimistic, dreamy theme of the mixtape. ‘Honolulu’ Last Dinosaurs (AUSTRALIA) Off their debut EP ‘Back from the dead’ (2010) Here’s the first of the Aussie talent I have packed into the mixtape. Yeah, the riff is a bit surfy, but it’s got a real cool indie vibe, and I love the “hey” they shout in the background too. And when the beat doubles later in the song, I love that! It is a very summer song, and you’re right its their first single. It’s pretty much propelled this local band to Australian national recognition in the indie scene. ‘Mexican Mavis’ Boy & Bear (AUSTRALIA) Off their debut EP ‘From Emperor Antarctica’ (2010) Yet again another new Aussie band. Our answer to Fleet Foxes, and a bit of Mumford and Sons thrown into their sound. Their EP is amazing, and it’s such a great folk-pop sound – like you said. The guitar riffs, up-tempo drums and the harmonies = perfect. And the added riff in the chorus is sneaky but effective. Definitely one to look out for, one of Aussie’s best new up-and-comers. 'Wait Up (Boots of danger)' Tokyo Police Club (CANADA) Off the album ‘Champ’ (2010) haha nailed it! It’s one of Canada’s best indie bands with their second album, and definitely worth checking out if people haven't, this is one of many good tracks from the album that was just released. I love how simple the chorus is but oh so memorable! 'Tenderoni' Kele Okereke (UK) Off his debut solo album ‘The Boxer’ (2010) Hmm I throught this was too easy to pick. I heard it for the first time and didn’t like it at all because I liked his old stuff with Bloc Party so much better, but the lead singer’s solo stuff is ok. He’s gone the dance route; I really like the vocals in this more than anything and the riff at the end. It’s quite different but has the fundamentals of a great song being a little less indie-rock than my normal stuff! 'My Fear #2' Cloud Control (AUSTRALIA) Off their debut album ‘Bliss Release’ (2010) Thought you’d like this one. It’s from a very impressive debut and one of the best Aussie CDs this year. They supported Vampire Weekend a couple of months and impressed me. This is quite late in their album, and I love the surfy vibe you picked up. The riff and the bass complement each other so well. ‘Creature Comforts’ The Nick Tree Band (ENGLAND) Off their debut EP ‘A story born in wonderland’ (2010) I am a sucker too! Great track. NME used this song (out of nowhere) to put on their Glasto videos for their website, thats where I heard it first. It’s their only good song and VERY hard to hunt down! The banjo and drums make this for me. You're right it’s like Mumford and Sons with more summery vocals. ‘Mr Keeperman’ Buchanan (AUSTRALIA) Off their debut EP ‘The Safety Beach’ (2010) This track in fact is from fellow Melbourne coldplayer Josh_Simo… it’s a great lead track off their debut EP. They are completely unknown here, so it’s a good find! I love the beat and piano working together, and the change up with the kids chorus. It’s quite Coldplay and could easily be played in a stadium. Great stuff from a fellow local two-piece. ‘The Wrestle’ Frightened Rabbit (SCOTLAND) Off their album ‘The Winter of Mixed Drinks’ (2010) Glad you love this! It’s from what I think is easily the most underrated band in the British Isles. I love the dreamy back sound and the bass riff through the whole song. They played it here live in an intimate pre-album gig in Feb, it was great to hear it then and I instantly fell in love with it. It’s so powerful and draws you in. Looking forward to seeing them here in a month again! ‘Better Than Love’ Hurts (ENGLAND) It’s their debut single (2010) Thought you might like. I went out on a limb putting it in. I only discovered it the other day. It’s a bit dark and similar to a bit of stuff out there, I just like the electro riff on the chorus. And so true it sounds a bit like the band Delphic. ‘Underground’ Evermore (AUSTRALIA) Off their greatest hits album ‘Evermore’ (2010) Thought this would kick things back into gear. It’s such an epic stadium song – I heard it live for the first time in Feb and loved it. I have good memories of this song too, and just love singing it out loud at home! it sticks cos its good pop! ‘Moon Theory’ Miami Horror (AUSTRALIA) Off their soon-to-be-released debut ‘Illumination’ (2010) Any Aussie with great music taste will tell you they love this track. These guys have put out two amazing singles, the other I put on my last mixtape, and they have a great indie-dance vibe. Lyrics are a bit cheesy, but I like the musical side of it more I guess. ‘Flash A Hungry Smile’ Mystery Jets (ENGLAND) Off their album ‘Seratonin’ (2010) Nailed it! This band is another one that’s relatively unknown outside of the UK. It’s their third album, and it’s great indie rock. The vocals in this are ok, lyrics quite funny, but it’s the instrumental side I love. These guys play on 80’s synths, and make some incredibly catchy stuff. It makes me move too! It's probably a song about oral sex to be honest - look at the lyrics. ‘Ivy & Gold’ Bombay Bicycle Club’ (ENGLAND) Off their soon-to-be released album ‘Flaws’ (2010) nailed it again! Yeah tose vocals are so distinct. yes its got a great summery acoustic vibe to it. I like the soft optimism and sun-drenched sound. Its good to put you in a happy warm mood, and thats what I get out of music most. Definitely check out the album. ‘Jona Vark’ Gypsy And The Cat (AUSTRALIA) Unreleased Single (2010) Spelling was close! Another amazing Aussie talent, that NME in England is starting to notice. Another indie-dance band too… see a familiar trend? I think a lot of music tends to be going that way at the moment. It is a bit like Empire of the Sun, and I think that is why these guys (another duo) will be successful. So chilled out too, the sound from it. ‘Sweet Days Waiting’ Teenage Fanclub (SCOTLAND) Off their album ‘Shadows’ (2010) Once again, a massively underrated band. This is like their 9th album too. It’s actually a band that Kurt Kobain and Liam Gallagher had both said in the 1990’s that they were the best in the world. They’re a bit more mellow now, and this is a nice soft dreamy closer track. Secret Track ‘Asleep’ Kowalski (IRELAND) Off their debut EP ‘Take Care, Take Flight’ (2010) Yep I thought I would be sneaky and make this mixtape a bit more surprising by adding a secret track‼ Not the same artist tho. This is by an irish band with a lead singer with the best vocals I have heard all year. It’s what makes the song for me. The actual track has a lot of noise at the start so I edited that… all 40secs of it! But the vocals stand out. And I love the reverb and all the components work so well…. The lyrics ‘coast away and you’ll be fine’ pretty much sum up the mixtape. Thanks for your kind words! It was a daunting task making this for you because I saw your last.fm 'bands you've seen' profile. You nailed the Aussie part, overall I just liek sun-drenched indie music and UK alternative. This mixtape summed it up, all new songs by the way. Glad I could entertain and inform! http://www.mediafire.com/?zctmvy5g1jn Tracklisting: 1. 'In Colours' - The Brunettes 2.
