I have no idea about this, but I would say that back in those days the mercury prize wasn’t the big to-do it is now, as far as I remember. Doubt if anyone played, never mind our boys.

Hmmm, that performance of Die Laughing would’ve been an excellent rarity for the Troublegum 10-year-anniversary-edition that of course was probably never considered. Anyone up for a what-if-tracklist?

I’d love to see a 15 year Boxset in 2009

Original album remastered. New liner notes by the band and some Q mag journo saying things like ” Therapy? Ah ! that strange extraneous punctuation ! Andy Cairns, never before had a mechanic made music this good or twisted since…well…ever..” blah blah.

DVD of band interviews, including Fyfe..And live performances…

CD 2 of B sides and rarities and Live stuff.

:D Quality

ANDY ! MICHAEL ! SPITIFRE ! MAKE THIS HAPPEN !! :D

I forgot all about M People winning it… makes me feel that I should have insulted Their percussionist more when i did. The Mercury thing is a load of toss anyway, the judges are always so fucking dull when they talk about the artists.

I honestly don’t know… i barely remember doing it, I just had my Boss telling me off the next day because he witnessed the whole thing and it was a client party so he filled in the blanks.

I think the prize money was something like 20 grand, if I remember rightly.

It’s shite. The Klaxons are appaling ! Cant sing for shit. Cant play for shit - they look RIDICULOUS.

I’m convinced the judges go for the least obvious choice to be controversial.

Shovel did the percussion on Gold Against The Soul by the Manics, too. So there, like they say: you are never more than 3 feet away from a member of M People.

Wait, or is that three feet from a rat..? Oh I forget which.

Same difference.

I’m more than three feet from a rat right now, so it can’t be that. Or did you not mean a specific rat?

No, any old rat will do. Muchin the same way that Madhur Jaffry always says “..add two large shallots - but you can use onions”, if you can’t get hold of the common-or-garden big black rat, a matted brown one will do for these purposes.

Now, remember to add the garlic early on, to let the flavours infuse, and don’t be afraid to use a large pinch of salt - you won’t taste it so much once the rat is fully cooked, but it will help to draw the juices out.

Next week on Dinner On A Tight Budget we will be showing you how to make a delicious summer BBQ kebab, using only your own forearm and a handful of chili peppers..

I find, much like mushrooms, wild rats have more flavour than the battery-bred ones., but I do understand how it can be confusing for the consumer, with these things not being properly labelled in the sewers as organic.

I think most things in the sewers are organic by default, to be honest.
But tell me more about these battery-bred rats. AA or 9 volt?
