Newsom, Cat Power, Waits, Bonnie, BoH Make Shortlist
Suck on that, Hush Sound!
The sixth annual Shortlist Music Prize-- awarded to artists whose small commercial ripples belie their wake-making creative waves-- has culled ten finalists from 61 of 2006's finest. From these, judges like Franz Ferdinand, Panic! at the Disco, and Wayne Coyne whittle it down to a winner next month, who'll pocket some dough and the knowledge that, nearly a year ago, they released an album both Sufjan Stevens and KT Tunstall can agree upon.
Here are the ten nod-getters:
Band of Horses - Everything All the Time
Beirut - Gulag Orkestar
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - The Letting Go
Cat Power - The Greatest
Girl Talk - Night Ripper
Hot Chip - The Warning
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope
Spank Rock - YoYoYoYoYo
Tom Waits - Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards
Wait; this means Panic! at the Disco's been jamming to Will Oldham, doesn't it? Soak up what you can, chaps.
