Ronson meets Allen…

An interesting article on The Independant today (via indieBlogHeaven), connecting Lily Allen and Mark Ronson in their own words:
…He's a nice guy. He can be very funny sometimes, but is also a kind person, and I get on very well with his girlfriend. He is very relaxing to be around. Maybe that's because he's grown up in a rock'n'roll environment, so isn't fazed by what's happened to me. I find that refreshing, because in the past year I've found myself in situations where people surrounding me are a bit obsessed. In a nice way, of course, but that kind of thing does make me feel freaked out. Mark, though, is one of the few people who is always just a calming guy to be around.
First there was Littlest Things, then Oh My God. Read the full article.

Mercury Music Prize shortlist nominations are out this week. The obvious frontrunners are Artic Monkeys, but my favorites would have to be The View and Jamie T. If I had to pick just one to take the prize, I'd go with Jamie T.
