LOL don't be so sure. the xx's music is used to soundtrack literally everything and anything these days.
you've probably heard them but don't know it's them

I'm happy for them, but I think by giving the xx the prize, they're heading into irrelevency, people look to the mercury as a minority award, but by giving it to the most popular album on the list, it doesn't help.

HOWEVER the fact that the xx has become this popular shows why they got the award, it united both the indie crowd and the mainstream in a way no other this past year from a album as quiet and soft as this.

Wild Beasts were robbed.
