Tough, I'll tell you anyway - Burial was an mystery-identity innovative project with some fantastic music coming out. No-one really specualted as to who was making the music, just took it as some really good shit. As soon as the Mercury Prize nominees are announced, he announces his identity and posts a picture, saying he wants to put an end to specualtion and wants it to be 'all about the tunes man'........... Just very clever timing, in my opinion and any artistic integrity sort of just went.......I'm glad Elbow won but Foals should have been up and Adele and Duffy should fuck off.
