Freddie and the planet.

untrue
either way, im glad they recognised BURIAL: Untrue album. Considering this was the WIRE's album of the year.
Me too
Although it doesn't come as a great surprise, there's been so much hype around it. I wonder if Burial will collect the prize...
if he wins it, of course...
doubt
he would go, he aint gona tuin his whole thing by collecting some award.
his label boss will probibly go up with a box on his head that says he isnt burial.
Think someone said artists need to send in 15 cds
So probably 15 judges.
it's
12 judges
Isn't
NME's editor a judge?
Tells you all you need to know really...
no-one decides it
the labels pay in money and whoever pays the most wins
Conspiracy!
Is
Jo Whiley a judge? *shudder*
Edith Bowman was a judge last year
and that beggars fucking belief.
This is clearly decided
by blindfolding a room of kids, giving them sugar and making them fight until there's only one standing. The winning kid picks the winner from artists' photos.
It's just me and my mate Steve
Sorry about Klaxons. That was all Steve.
Am i alone in thinking
the judges should be judged? The MMP has turned into a mickey mouse competition.
I wouldn't be surprised to the likes of Simon Cowell on the panel this year.
