good work, ian... at least, you found a way to spend your time.

Delighted as we were to hear that Speech Debelle won the Mercury Music Prize last night, the results that we’ve been waiting for have finally come in. The front-runners tell us about their favourite pastas, their favourite ABBA songs and weigh in on the on-going Badger Vs Baboon debate…
http://www.popbitch.com/home/wp-cont...an-250x250.jpg Kasabian:
1. Favourite pasta: Penne
2. Favourite ABBA song: What’s the one that Madonna sampled? (Gimme Gimme Gimme)
3. What would you call a cat? Mr Crowler
4. Favourite swear word: Twat
5. Badger vs Baboon: Baboon would probably go in strong but badgers are quite shifty and they’re bigger than you think. I ran one over once and it was massive.

http://www.popbitch.com/home/wp-cont...s1-150x150.gifFriendly Fires:

1. Favourite pasta: Taglietelli
2. Favourite ABBA song: I quite like the winner takes it all. Waterloo’s good. Gets the crowd going.
3. What would you call a cat? Pretty normal name like Dennis.
4. Favourite swear word: C word. Or, yeah, **** nugget.
5. Badger vs Baboon: Baboon, they’re vicious.

http://www.popbitch.com/home/wp-cont...62-150x150.jpgSpeech DeBelle:

1. Favourite pasta: Maccaroni pasta ‘cos I can make maccaroni cheese.
2. Favourite ABBA song: Can I pass on ABBA?
3. What would you call a cat? Puss.
4. Favourite swear word: Can I say it? I can’t. Suckyamudda.
5. Badger vs Baboon: A baboon! That’s got a right hook on it man.

http://www.popbitch.com/home/wp-cont...es-150x150.jpgBat For Lashes:

1. Favourite pasta: Spaghetti
2. Favourite ABBA song: The Winner Takes It All
3. What would you call a cat? Miracle
4. Favourite swear word: Cock
5. Badger vs Baboon: I’m hoping the badger because it’s British and it should. Woodland creatures rule over a baboon, definitely.

http://www.popbitch.com/home/wp-cont...rs-150x150.jpgTom and Josh from the Horrors:
1. Favourite pasta: Linguini
2. Favourite ABBA song: Claus (that’s what one of my cats are called) He’s named after the drummer from Neu
3. What would you call a cat? The one that Madonna sampled. Or Lay All Your Love On Me.
4. Favourite swear word: ****. Definitely.
5. Badger vs Baboon: Badgers! They’re fierce!

http://www.popbitch.com/home/wp-cont...an-150x150.jpgLisa Hannigan:

1. Favourite pasta: Pasta made by Tommo (her bandmate)
2. Favourite ABBA song: Gimme Gimme Gimme.
3. What would you call a cat? I have a cat called Stevens – Cat Stevens!
4. Favourite swear word: Being Irish it would have to be “****!” I think.
5. Badger vs Baboon: Badger. Don’t **** with a badger.

Did ye hear taht one of the other acts, Glasvegas, had to cancel their performance because their lead singer has been missing for a week??

Apparently he has since contacted them to tell them he is in NY ready for their US tour...

was reading online that even attending the ceremony is kinda expensive:

>> Prize idiots <<
Mercury nomination - not all great

One of this year's Mercury Prize nominated
acts gave us an insight into the award night.

"It's not cheap being nominated for the
Mercury Prize. £300 a head to just attend.
And not including booze. The whole 'not
for profit' line they spout starts to
look a bit hollow, particularly when you
pay £200 just to even enter your record
in the first place.

"We ended up smuggling in booze, and getting
tap water from the toilets. The food,
predictably, was g-rim. Oh yes, and we stopped
counting tables at 75. Must have been nearly
100, each seating 12 suckers like us. At
£300 a head someone, somewhere off-camera
walked away with a cheque significantly
higher than the £20,000 prize.

"A classic music industry con trick...?"

Want the real Mercury results? Who do the artists
think would win in a fight between a baboon and
a badger?

The £250 entry thing is a scam. No other similar award charges a similar fee, not the choice here, not the shortlist in the US and not the Polaris in Canada.

I found a complete video of the BBC broadcast, but edited out only the intro and her performance, for those of you who want it in better quality than the webstream
