Shortlist Assured Of Minimal Attention By Announcing Finalists On Oscar Day

Working The Shortlist Music Prize has whittled down its list to 10 finalists: Arcade Fire, Burial, Feist, Justice, LCD Soundsystem, M.I.A., Spoon,  Stars, Wilco and Working for a Nuclear Free City. Arcade Fire, Wilco and M.I.A. are receiving their second noms; the rest are first-timers.
But wait, you say. Didn't Working for a Nuclear Free City come out in October 2006? Yes it did. Actually, you probably said 'who?', did a Google search and, possibly, noticed there are only 57,663 albums selling more copies on Amazon right now.
Winner of the seventh annual prize which will be announced in February.
Five people nominated 54 albums, which were then reduced to 10.
