Couldnt find anything on here about this years nominee's so thought i'd try start something. Is it that the nominee's aren't as good as usual or that no-one gives ****e about these award shows anymore? I don't see any stand out winners this year but there are some good albums. My favourites are Lianne La Havas and Django…

Haven't heard all of them, but Django Django is one of my favourite albums for this year, I would love to see them win.

Upcoming gigs and events: New Purple Celebration, Foil Arms and Hog, Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne

Alt-J would be top of my list. I love that album. Ben howard is very good as well though.

yeah, I'm yet to go through all the albums. Alt-J's singles have been good so far so i might give that a go first.
