| Getting Old - Mercury Prize list 12:25 - Jul 23 with 4354 views | DorsetIan |
Here's the Mercury Prize shortlist. I recognise 3 of the names - and it diminishes every year.
Is anyone even less 'with it' than I am?
Anna Meredith - FIBS
Charli XCX - How I’m Feeling Now
Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia
Georgia - Seeking Thrills
Lanterns on the Lake - Spook the Herd
Laura Marling - Song For Our Daughter
Kano - Hoodies All Summer
Michael Kiwanuka - KIWANUKA
Moses Boyd - Dark Matter
Porridge Radio - Every Bad
Sports Team - Deep Down Happy
Stormzy - Heavy Is The Head
And can anyone recommend any of these albums? |  |

I'm more 'without it' than 'with it' too. I only got 4 of them. Stormzy and Dua Lipa often appear on TV while Charlie XCX and Laura Marling have both been around for years. Apart from that, didn't have a clue who the rest were.
I read somewhere that most of the posters on football message boards (not just this one) are over 50 and that any new poster who appears is more likely to be just an old poster returning with a different username. [Post edited 23 Jul 2020 12:39]

I recognise six , mainly due to listening to 6Music most of day, whilst working from home
Michael Kiwanuka lives in Southampton, and mate from work goes to same church as him. |  | | |

Well, he seems to have done well for himself. I just looked up his website:
https://www.michaelkiwanuka.com/
I've now listened to a couple of his songs on Spotify. They remind me very much of 60s Stax and Tamla Motown. [Post edited 23 Jul 2020 13:04]

Excellent. That's my afternoon's listening sorted.
See he is produced by Danger Mouse of Gnarls Barkley. | |

I remember Stormzy when he was just Light Drizzlezy. |  |
| I can remember when the internet was all fields |

The Dua Lipa album is really good, in my humble opinion.
No idea on the rest, though I quite like the stuff of Georgia’s that I have heard. |  |

I’ve only heard of 3 too and haven’t heard the music of 2 of them. I’ve got a Laura Marling album but that is it! My kids got me into Alt-J but I guess they are old hat now! |  | | |

I know of seven; but then, I am only a sprightly 33 years old. |  |

I think you're showing off a bit there.
Who else can you add to list of collective TUI Mercury knowledge? | |

Actually, I hadn't heard if it as an award either - I'm not THAT into music in all honesty. Never have the radio on or music channels. | |

What, you don't really like any music? That's a bit of a mystery to me, as I can listen to most things and enjoy them. Listening to a bit of jazz piano as I write (and work).
Nothing grabs you - bit of classical, choral, big band, folk? | |

A few years ago, to appear cool to my kids and on the recommendation of my youngest daughter, I bought the Mercury winning James Blake’s Overgrown. I think I have only ever played it twice. [Post edited 23 Jul 2020 23:28]

You should surprise them all and start playing that Michael Kiwanuka album that Salisbury mentioned. It's very cool. | |

That name rings a bell, I think my eldest recommended an album by him a while back. Love & Hate? | | | |

Got it! He did the title track to the Big Little Lies TV series. Love that track. Cold Little Heart. | | | |

No - I like to work in silence, genuinely! | |

Seven for me but I listen to 6music a lot. I'd recommend Sports Team or Kiwanuka. [Post edited 24 Jul 2020 7:00]

I wish I was better at doing that. I waste a huge amount of time (when not doing that on here) trying to find just the right music to work to.
This week I are been mostly lisnin' to jazz. | |
