Talking of the Mercury Music Prize, another of the nominees has said it would be "a disgrace" if he was to win. Talking about his nomination, ex-Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt (whose album 'Cuckooland' is the the 12-1 outsider on the list) told the Telegraph: "I think it would be a disgrace if anything came of it. I'm just in it [the shortlist] to keep the contest broad. Others who have been shortlisted - Amy Winehouse, Basement Jaxx, Belle and Sebastian - are far more deserving", he said.
