Some good news is that the Arctic Monkeys are favourites to win the Mercury Music Prize this year. The Merc seems to carry a curse, almost every band that has won has either split-up, released disappointing albums or just vanished from the face of the earth (if anyone spots Antony and the Johnsons then for god's sake don't let on). Mind you the list this year is almost entirely made up of people I couldn't give a toss about so knowing my luck they'll give the Golden Albatross to Thom Yorke.
