What's a little sin to see us through?

Who's ahead in your stakes, then?

Two Suns by Bat For Lashes is topping my list at the minute. She's a complete space cadet but I love her all the same. It's proper primal in places, I love the production and arrangements and the vocals are stunning. Nice cheeky cameo from Scott Walker at the end as well.

A Man, A Woman Walked By by PJ Harvey and John Parish is a close second, with Outer South by Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley band in third place.

Still a long way to go yet though; there are imminent new albums from Biffy and the Wildhearts, and possibly the Fannies and the Magic Numbers as well.........

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Am liking the Florence And The Machine album but it's too soon to say yet. White Lies has gotten a lot of listens too.

All three of these added to my vote too please. It's been a good year for some cracking albums so far, there's been some other good ones that I haven't mentioned, because I don't think they're the best, but still enjoyable listens.

I actually think it's been kinda a poor year so far. A lot of the returning bands simply haven't been up to scratch. Got high hopes for upcoming Muse and Biffy, mind.

And I reckon Bat For Lashes will win the Mercury Prize.

Hope is important.

- "Journal For Palgue Lovers" by Manic Street Preachers.
- "Hey Everyone!" by Danananakroyd.

I still haven't got Journal For Plahue Lovers. Completely forgot about Sonic Youth having a new one out, and I think there's a Dino Jr one that needs to be purchased as well.

Wish I had some money.

Stupid work

Just like to point out that I said that before the shortlist was announced. I stand by my choice

Nearly the end of the year now.

Any takers?

It's still Bat For Lashes for me, I think, probably PJ Harvey in second place and the Wildhearts hot on her heels. Was really looking forward to the Biffy one but it's just an even more diluted version of Puzzle and as such pleases me not

Yeah Florence probably edges it for me, Muse, The Joy Formidable and Yeah Yeah Yeahs close behind.

Albert Johanneson: I blame Ugo Ehiogu

Lisbeth Salander: I blame drugs

Lisbeth Salander: Actually, I blame the gays. He was a similar age to Gately. young 30 year old men don't drop dead for no reason, ergo it must be the gays

Tig Trager: He was gay? He told me he was straight! Thats the only reason I had sex with him.

Tig Trager: I feel so used

Rayanne Graff: i thought young men usually die because Aimz likes them.

Bark: This makes me feel better about the picketing campaign she orchestrated against me.

Rayanne Graff: (Bye, peace to all trees.)

Albi The Racist Dragon: do you think it's related to the bbc budget cuts

Albi The Racist Dragon: mark thompson is known for being a ruthless b*st*rd

Rayanne Graff: (Bye, peace to small trees.)

Rayanne Graff: (Also, Michael Foot died.)

the doc: Really f*cking sad, that, although he'd had a good innings

the doc: He was a truly good spirit

Rayanne Graff: (Bye, peace to all trees.)

Albi The Racist Dragon: f*ck, mark linkous is dead

Tig Trager: BARRY'S JOKE OF THE DAY:

Tig Trager: My boss wanted me to call a plumber in to take a look at the sink, but I just emailed him some pictures of it instead

Rayanne Graff: (Bye, peace to small trees.)

Rayanne Graff: (Bye, peace to all trees. xx)
