I'm glad Kasabian didn't win a mercury last night.
But even gladder that fucking La roux or florence and the machine didn't win.

I don't mind florence's music - I've seen her live and she's got a cracking voice - but she's annoying, very 'I'm well kooky, me'.

Even La Roux didn't want La Roux to win.

I wanted Kasabian or Friendly Fires or even Florence,
even though Florence is built on hype, the album is pretty fucking good. I was delighted it wasn't La Roux.

Speech Debelle.
I quite like what I've heard. She's like Estelle was when she started out, before she went to America to suck Kanye West's penis.

Just had a listen.
Didn't get me excited at all, I didn't see/hear anything special.
