Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has told the BBC about his disappointment at not winning the Mercury Prize, which, as you surely all know by now, was won by Antony And The Johnsons. Wilson said: "So we didn't win...we'll carry on. It would have been the icing on the cake, but this year's cake has been so delicious, I don't think we really need the icing. I am disappointed, but it was good."
He also revealed that the band had planned to give away the £20,000 prize money, saying: "I really wanted that money, 'cause I wanted it to give it to Mark, the guy who runs our rehearsal studios. He's got to move and we wanted to give him the money to start a new rehearsal studios so we can go there and rehearse, so it's not really altruistic! So we've got a new plan now, and if the Mercury people don't mind, we're gonna eBay off our nomination award trophy."
