This year’s list of nominees are:

Director – We Thrive On Big Cities (Atlantic)
The Divine Comedy – Victory for the Comic Muse (Parlophone)
Duke Special – Songs From the Deep Forest (V2)
The Immediate – In Towers & Clouds (Fantastic Plastic)

And finally I can take my mask off as I was one of the judges this year! Jaysus, there’s been a lot of cloak and dagger going on over the last couple of months 🙂

Am actually really surprised how many of the ones I nominated ended up on the eventual list. It’s going to be a bit of a barney in the judging room on the night alright…
