Do I like Speech DeBelle? A bit yeah. Do I think she deserved the Prize? Well, as a massive fan of Florence…NO! I honestly fail to see why she won, but each to their own. It doesn’t take away the fact that Lungs is the best album of  this year. Fuck it, it’s the best album that’s come out in a LONG time. I don’t need to explain why, I really don’t. I’m still pissed off. And I still believe that awards are ALL rigged. Especially this one. It’s so fucking obvious.

Besides,what kind of “music expert” FAILS to put in another FANTASTIC album of this year in the list? How the hell could they ignore My Maudlin Career by Camera Obscura?! It possess the same hurt, love, darkness and beauty as Lungs. So, why not include it? If they can put utter toss in the list, at least acknowledge one of the best bands to have come out of Glasgow.

I’m not a “music snob” in the slightest. I don’t think my taste in music is better than anyone  elses nor do I think I’m some self righteous/pretentious “music expert” who knows everything about music ecause I don’t. I just get fucking pissed off when an artist and band I adore are shat on from a great height by a bunch of TWATS. That’s right. Mercury Music Panel- you are all TWATS. I wish it was clearly explained how the hell they decide who wins.

I’m with Morrissey on this, “MERCURY MUSIC PRIZE-SHOVE IT UP YOUR ARSE.” This was said at his gig in Stirling in May this year. It was greeted by cheers and claps, and a cute lopsided grin by Moz.

Florence + The Machine- My Boy Builds Coffins.

Watch that clip. It’s old. She singing in a park. I remember watching it last year. It gave me goosebumps then, and it still does now.

Shame on you Mercury Prize, shame on you.
