Best of British - The 'Alternative Mercury'




It's that time of year again when hipsters like me get their collective knickers in a twist over the nominations for the Mercury Prize. Year upon year my cries of equal parts derision/exasperation get increasingly strangulated as I wonder who decided that Glasvegas/New Young Pony Club/Kasabian/Speech Debelle (delete as appropriate) produced one of the best British albums of the past twelve months.

Well, now I can rest easy as those fine, fine people over at The Line Of Best Fit decided to come up with an alternative list of the best of the last year. There's twelve nominations, and you can check the site today for the first six choices.

What's my contribution to all this? Simple: Mogwai's Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will. Read all about it, plus five other marvellous choices by clicking here!
