  3. Deed : I very much like Sia but I think the track she does on the Guetta album is ruined by his tired Ibeefa-Ibeefa-isms. Her work with Zero-7 was much more satisfying.

  5. What a depressing line up of nominees! Sia, Arcade Fire, Theophilus London and the Beastie Boys all deserve kudos so good luck to them but as for the others…sheesh!
    I’m currently listening to the David Guetta album for review and it’s the aural equivalent of Human Centipede-style defacation being forced through the ears.
