MP3: Kanye West – Good Life

Yes, it’s back. Somehow it’s already in its SIXTH YEAR (whoa!). Nominations and the celeb listmakers/voters should be announced very shortly (within the next 2 weeks). We will keep you updated, of course.

Also, last year’s re-naming of the prize to ‘New Pantheon’ is gone. The award will once again be titled The Shortlist Prize.

Past years’ winners:
2001: Sigur Ros
2002: N*E*R*D
2003: Damien Rice
2004: TV on the Radio
2005: Sufjan Stevens

I’m gonna go ahead and guess that the voters put The Decemberists, Joanna Newsom, TV On The Radio, The Knife and Thom Yorke in the top 5. Anybody wanna challenge me? And I think Joanna will take the top prize.
