The nominations for this year’s Mercury Music Prize are out, and it looks like it’ll be a bumper year.

Among the Mercury Prize nominees are: A girl who looks a bit like Lily Allen! A ginger girl who barely sells any records! Some people who really want to be Oasis! Another ginger girl who looks like she’s about four years old! Some miserable Scottish people! A genuine hecklerspray reader who we really want to win! And a bunch of other clowns that nobody has heard of!

No doubt you’ll be hearing more from us on the Mercury Prize soon, but until then you could do a lot worse than to watch our pal Eleanor Conway interview the nominees in this spiffy little video…
