Now, there’s a sentence we’d never thought we’d write. However, it’s an absolute hipster horse race in the Mercury Prize competition. Sportsbook William Hill, after being overwhelmed by bets, has moved hotshit rockers Bloc Party into the favorite role. Bloc Party have been bumped from 6/1 to 7/2 favorites while the Chiefs, led by quarterback Trent Green, are still at 4/1 to take the prize.

What? No Priest? Blasphemy! Yes, apparently the music critics are still hung up on the Brit-Pop thin-wristed phenomenon based on the early odds to win this year’s Mercury Prize. The Kaiser Chiefs(not the chefs) are the 4/1 favorite for rainy day glory as handicapped by British bookmaking thugs William Hill. Not familiar with the Mercury Prize? Since 1992, the Mercury Prize award is given to the best in British music, regardless of the genre. So, that may help us with the betting as Coldplay, Blocparty, and KT Tunstall are all snapping at the Chiefs’ heels at 6/1. But we’d much rather listen to Screaming for Vengeance.
