Yes its the first Tuesday of September which means it was the Mercury Prize ceremony as Grosvenor House in London. 12 artists gathered to celebrate 11 fine albums and Hats Off To The Buskers.
One by one they stepped up to perform and teach me that I really like Bat For Lashes and Fionn Regan, regardless of how many crap techno remixes he's ordered of an aquaintance of mine.
In the end though, it was the 11/8 favourite Bat For Lashes who politely applauded with the other losers as the mighty Klaxons thrust their arms skywards and stumbled to the stage to pick up the prize itself. A win that no-one really saw coming but those who did are bound to be swimming in it tonight. I really wish I'd made that guess.
You Don't Know Jack Episode 27
Score: $19,761
Oh yeah.
