I'm really not feeling Plan B either. i'll join that club too, very poor album re the Mercury, would i be right in thinking that Gemma Hayes has been the only Irish nominee in the last few years? The Thrills were nominated for, I presume, their less mediocre frist album. Also ... and Plan B are/is?

I think there's about 210 artists on it - people who actually entered the competition. I think subscribers to Music Weekly got emailed a version of it, but I can't find it anywhere online.

I'd like to see a nod for the wonderful Shack's Corner of Miles and Gil, quite possibly my favourite album of the year so far. Though I suspect the Arctics and Hot Chip will be up there.

Vasthi Bunyan will probably get a nod. The Research record is deadly, one of my faves of the year.

A couple of Irish acts in there, which is nice to see even if it's only an early shortlist.

no irish act again - u wonder how they can call it a british and irish list. but thats why the choice award was so successful this year my money is on Editors though i also think Hot Chip's album is a good one.
