Oh and about that award:
Quote:
October 7, 2003
Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice won the prestigious Shortlist Music Prize for Artistic Achievement on Sunday night for his breakthrough "O" CD, featuring the current hit "Volcano." Rice landed the prize, voted on by a panel of performers and music industry insiders, from a slate of 10 finalists - The Black Keys, Bright Eyes, Cat Power, Cody Chesnutt, Floetry, Interpol, Sigur Ros, The Streets, and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Albums released between July 1, 2002 and June 30 were eligible for the award, which has gone to Sigur Ros and The Neptunes in the past two years. The Shortlist Prize is designed to help the listmakers - which this year included Coldplay's Chris Martin, Erykah Badu, The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea, directors Spike Jonze and Cameron Crowe, Tori Amos and Tom Waits - let music fans know about left-of-center acts that deserve mainstream notice. All of the finalists except Sigur Ros and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed at a special Shortlist concert, which will be aired on MTV2 starting Oct. 25 at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.
