Yeah, i'd love roots manuva or the coral to win, but i just
cant see it beating the streets or the doves.

Lots of 'the' bands.

i think whoever designed the cover for David Bowies Heathen
should get it. That font makes me weak in the knees.

If there was any justice Roots Manuva would win it, although
I have a feeling the fake geezer will win.

i thought you'd go for the coral, them bewing from the pool
'n that
they sound quite interesting, which it seems is what wins
the prize nowadays
the album hasn't even been released yet!

I want Doves to win, but it'll probably be The Streets.

i saw a street video in sweden, he has no flow at all. i
guess it must be a european thing.

I saw the Coral on TOTP the other date and the singer was
swaggering with a tambourine a la Liam Gallagher. I just
shook my head. Plus they're skallys.

I'd like to see Ms Dynamite win, though i haven't heard the
album.
