Undeserving Winners of the Mercury Prize.

Last year Franz Ferdinand won this coveted British award, and by god did they deserve it. I love those crazy fuckers. Yet this year a giant man sporting man boobs and a cher wig won it. (Antony and the Johnsons) Now don't get me wrong, his physical appearance is not the reason I feel he is undeserving. Although he certainly shouldn't get ANY prizes for that. It's his voice that sprouts the seed of malcontent within me. His voice is nothing short of a sharp pencil in the ear, twisted slowly half a dozen times, pulled sharply out only to be rammed two inches back inside your ear.

In other words, it's atrocious.

And the references to Nina Simone are WAY off.
