he told me off for slagging Mundy before, apparently they are good mates, but dont let that put you off, his stuff is truly excellent, he's the find of the last few years for me.

what's wrong with that jilted john song?... in fairness, it was great... it's only the continous appearances on watered down crap punk compilations that have diluted it over the years... ...that said, i'm not sure the arctic monkeys have written anything as good as it

According to cursory glances at various websites it seems Hawley's album sales have increased by 330%! Now that's what i call a pay-rise.

Ill be honest theres some great songs on the album but its not one ill be listening to in a year or so, arcade fires funeral is still a fantastic nearly two years on, guillemots have some great songs but alot of filler to be honest, hawley was good but its probally the first time the mercury awards have gone for mainstream usually they pick some f**king random album justy to be different!!!

I would have given it to Hot Chip too, but in a way Hawleys come out the real winner out the whole thing hasn't he? He still gets all the kudos, a massive increase in record sales and doesn't get lumbered with the curse of the mercury prize either.
