Aren't the Magic Numbers from New York? They must have a member from England like the Gorillaz.

Yes, Antony is from Sussex

My favourites from the nominees are Antony & The Johnsons and The Go! Team, but Bloc Party will probably win...

I can't believe that stuttering fool won what a pile of wack. I know you are all going to say well lebowski you couldn’t do better and you would be right but it winds me up when they pick a really pretentious band when the other talent is far better. Glad I got that off my chest laterzzzzzzzzzz!!

I haven't heard Antony and the Johnsons yet, I guess I'll have to do something about that. Any other opinions out there in cyberspace?

I'm glad that Bloc Party hasn't won the prize because this band sucks a lot. From the list of the nominees, Antony was one of my favourite, so it's a good choice made by the jury. But my real favourites british albums weren't in the list : Hal, Flotation Toy Warning and Ed Harcourt are better by far.
