Aural orgasm, the having of an

So The Mercury Prize 2011 is happening tonight in London, and when I got into work I found the BBC News article, which I'd missed yesterday when it was published. And so I had a nosey through the nominees, recognising a few familiar names and fistpumping when I realised that Katy B's On a Mission is nominated. You may remember me flailing about her single Katy On a Mission, which is one of the best club(bing) songs I've heard this year. So yay and good luck, Katie!!

But then, among all those interesting artists, there's also this guy that I'd never heard of before. His name is James Blake, and he is the most exciting thing I have heard in ages. His music is strange, haunting, bizarre, complex, experimental, a bit weird, and I am completely in love with it. There is something irresistibly compelling about it, and as soon as I got hold of the (self-titled) album, I could not stop listening to it.

Here, have a go. I am quite awed by him and his talent and his sound.

That isn't even the best one, there's this scene where he's all done up in a red coat and... all of the shiny... and he's walking towards you on a beach looking all suave and a;hsd;lghlahdlsfhlsajflsd. Also he may or may not be seen hugging and kissing a baby. JUST SAYING. Let me know if you have trouble finding it, I can Dropbox it to you or something.

Hahahahahahahaha that is the most perfect description of them EVER.

HIKE WAS AMAZING, I keep meaning to do über-megapost with all of the pictures and stuff but when we came down the mountain we were EXHAUSTED and then work and then still exhausted and Mary Bryant and a;dhslgsklfjs sleep should probably happen, argh. It may not be until later in the week.

MOST PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF THEM EVER.
