Just stumbled upon this on the ATO site....

My Morning Jacket's "Z" and has been nominated for the New Pantheon Music Prize. (http://www.atorecords.com/index.php?title=news+and+press)

Never heard of this award!

ah screw them, they're too good for both Andrew Bird and the Jacket but Kings of Leon make it into the finals?

Where do they get these "special" people to be the nominators?  

Elijah Wood?  How come?  I don't have a problem with Elijah Wood, but what makes him the kind of dude who is better than others at choosing a creative record?

Plus, and only because I've been thinking about this since dragonboy started the talk about women, I noticed out of 27 judges, 5 are women.  19%.  

And there's one girl in the top ten, Fiona Apple, and she drives me nuts.

Argh, and also, that bio says that they're a four-piece band.  They haven't been a fucking four piece band since TF, isn't that correct?

I get annoyed when people can't take the time to go to a band's damn website and go to their BIO section.

End of rant.  Apologies.  I'm having an odd day.
