The nominees for the prestigious British music award, The Mercury Prize, were recently announced. The nominee list features some of the best UK talent and is the perfect guide for your iTunes shopping.
The complete list is as follows:

* Arctic Monkeys - ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’
* Klaxons - ‘Myths Of The Near Future’
* Amy Winehouse - ‘Back To Black’
* Maps - ‘We Can Create’
* The View - ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’
* Jamie T - ‘Panic Prevention’
* Dizzee Rascal - ‘Maths & English’
* Bat For Lashes - ‘Fur And Gold’
* Young Knives - ‘Voices of Animals And Men’
* Fionn Regan - ‘The End Of History’
* New Young Pony Club - ‘Fantastic Playroom’
* Basquiat Strings - ‘Basquiat Strings’

You already know that I love Bat For Lashes and Jamie T so it is no surprise that I am totally gunning for them. Although I do love the new Arctic Monkeys album, they have had their turn! Give someone else their moment in the spotlight (cough, Jamie T, cough).

As Lily Allen mania hits the USA, I am left asking one question: when is Jamie T going to get his turn? Like Allen, Jamie is a Brit singer songwriter who creates reggae-infused pop and curses like a sailor. England loves him, so why can’t we? Don’t get me wrong, he did get a song on Entourage and gets some coverage in the indie music press but when will he get a sold out tour and a Saturday Night Live Appearance? Jamie, I am waiting!!

The new Justice remix of the JT song “Love Stoned” is the hottest thing since, well, the DFA remix of the JT song “My Love.” Timberlake’s camp is obviously trying to give him a bit of a hipster edge (his album photos were done by Terry Richardson!) and it works for me. This MP3 has been on constant iPod rotation since I got it.
Download it today on iTunes.

We Are The Night, the new album by UK electronic legends The Chemical Brothers, does not disappoint. By sticking with their tried and true formula of loading up on special guests, they have created another solid album. The artists making appearances this time around include Fat Lip from The Pharcyde, The Klaxons, Midlake, and Willy Mason who are all amazing in their own right and combined with the beats of the Chems, provide us with some pretty interesting tracks. The content of this album is just as diverse as the guest artists performing on it which allows The Chemical Brothers to hold their title as one of the most interesting and inventive electronic artists to date.

Who knew that Swedish music could be so fun? Lo-Fi-Fnk not only look like 12 year-old children (they are actually in their mid-twenties), they are also behind some of the most youthful and unpretentious party jams I’ve heard in awhile. Listening to any track from their debut album Boylife is a guaranteed mood-booster. Give them a listen.
