This managed to bypass me this year but I see rapper slowthai won it last night. Not heard anything by him before but listened to a couple of tracks at lunchtime. Not my bag - worthy winner?

Slowthai didn’t win. (He won the newspaper column inches title for coming on stage with a severed Boris head and a Fuck Boris t-shirt.) It was Dave, who did deserve to win. Thought it was a good show, even if a lot of it wasn’t to my taste.

I thought Freddie always won it.

Slowthai’s album is good (actually mentions the Brom at one point). Not actually listened to Dave’s so couldn’t say whether it was deserving or not.
Out of those on the list I had heard I’d have given it to Fontaines DC.

There's like a memory of my stepdad when I was very young He said to me that he got tickets to Liverpool, yeah 'Cause I used to love football, bruv It was my dream and all this, the first time And he's like, "I'll take you," and like, "Yeah, we've got tickets" So on the way there, it's like, uh Obviously, to Liverpool it's like a six-hour train or something And he's like... oh, we're on the train And I'm lookin' into my football magazine, like I'm mad young And I was like, "Dad, I swear if, um, like this team's name's first They're at their home ground Like if it's like West Brom verse Liverpool, it's at West Brom, yeah?" And he's like, "Nah, I don't know" And I'm like, "Nah, it definitely is, yeah" So then we had to hop off at West Brom, which was easier But we got there bare early So there we were, just gotta wait around And I'm like, "Have you got a ticket?" And he's, like, telling me, "Yeah," he's like, "Yeah, I've got tickets" And then, bruv, this whole time, we're just looking for a tout Like a ticket tout to buy tickets to the game Like for hours, we missed the first half of it And it was like, I always remember bein' so pissed that 'Cause it was like, man lied to me, innit, after everything If he said to me, "I ain't got the tickets," I wouldn't have even bothered Yeah, yeah, it's kinda like man built me up
