Hmm, so I hear on the radio this morning that "after some acrimonious debate amongst the judges" they decided to award Talvin Singh the Technics Rotary prize (is it?) for OK. Is the British press eating this one up? Who else was on the shortlist? I *

I'm not sure that the press are 'eating it up', more like greeting it with widespread indifference. Not helped either by Talvin's pronouncement 'Nobody asks where a tomato comes from. A tomato is a tomato'. Of course it is, Talvin. Others on the list were (yawn!) Manic Street Preachers (a friend of mine keeps calling them the Janet Street Porters by mistake), Stereophonics, Chemical Bros. er...can't remember anyone else and I don't think I want to. Anyway congrats to Talvin for his award and for coming up with a much better album than I thought he was capable of. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hey Irene, If you like Talvin check out Nitin Sawney. The work of his that I've heard is pretty good. David
