Gambling Pleasure

Another year, another shortlist for the Mercury Prize, another exciting way to tap your line of credit with the bookie. 2007 belonged to Klaxons' Myths Of The Near Future, who went on to collaborate with Rihanna, so you know this prize has clout.

Here's your full list of odds and noms:
