Choice Music Prize predictions

Just for a bit of fun, here’s what I predict will make the nominations for the Choice Prize this year. Of course, it all depends on who the judges are in the end. The list is ordered from my most likely albums to be nominated with a couple of wildcards towards the end. Like Shane, there are about 10 other albums which could be in the running. If you feel like an educated guess, leave your predictions in the comments.

Cathy Davey – Tales of Silversleeve
Adrian Crowley – Long Distance Swimmer
Roísín Murphy – Overpowered
Delorentos – In Love with Detail
The Flaws – Achieving Vagueness
Super Extra Bonus Party – Super Extra Bonus Party LP
Dry County – Unexpected Falls
Hybrasil – The Monkey Pole
Mumblin’ Deaf Ro – The Herring and the Brine
Somadrone – Of Pattern and Purpose

The shortlist is announced tomorrow.
