Mercury Prize Tonight

Today we find out who is the hottest new act in the music business. According to The Guardian Florence and the Machine are the bookies’ favorites. I’m kind of hoping that Bat for Lashes gets it, though I didn’t think that Two Suns was anywhere near as good as Fur and Gold. I’m also rather fond of La Roux, if you want an outside pick.

Update: and the winner is… London-based rapper, Speech Debelle. The BBC has details.
