Key Notes decides to go all Mystic Meg in his attempts to predict which acts will make it unto the shortlist for the 2008 Choice Music, details of which will be announced tonight.
The Choice Music Prize is now in its third year and, to date, Key Notes has a 0% record in predicting the winner. However, the third time's the charm and, to celebrate my confidence of a positive result this time, I'm not only going to predict the winner, but the shortlist also. Now, clearly, this could blow up in Key Notes face, but along with Nialler and Shane, it's only meant as a bit of fun so Key Notes expects no angry letters or calls to Liveline if he's wrong.
The Shortlist
Cathy Davey - Tales of Silversleeve
Future Kings of Spain - Nervousystem
Mumblin' Deaf Ro - The Herring & the Brine
The Flaws - Achieving Vagueness
Roisin Murphy - Overpowered
Adrian Crowley - Long Distance Swimmer
A Lazarus Soul - Graveyard of Burnt Out Cars
God is an Astronaut - Far From Refuge
Jenny Lindfors - When the Night Time Comes
Delorentos - In Love With Detail
The Winner
So, here goes nothing, the winner of the Choice Music Prize 2008 will be: *insert drum roll* Adrian Crowley for Long Distance Swimmer. Remember kids, you read it here first. Future Kings and Cathy Davey will both be unlucky to miss out.
