Finally, the AMP

We've written enough about this, so the announcement couldn't come too soon:

Augie March Win the Australian Music Prize



@mess+noise | @undercover | @fairfax

Indeed, as we predicted, it was Augie March winning the $25,000 for Moo, You Bloody Choir. Second, effectively, was Gotye, who takes home $15,000 worth of Red Bull for Like Drawing Blood.

Is it just? Yeah, I reckon. Both had huge years - Augie topping the JJJ Hottest 100 and Gotye exploding into prominence - so this seems like a fair way to round it off. And, while neither album is a masterpiece, they're definitely both very good pieces of work with a couple of great standout tracks.

So congratulations to both. Early tips for next year? The Art of Fighting album is sounding pretty great to me at this point... Get it Saturday in shops near you.
