They were supposed to save rock 'n' roll.

I don't know if they did, but the Artic Monkeys have won the Mercury Prize. The prize is awarded by the people of the planey Mercury (it is actually still a planet, for now) based on which album the little green men like best.

Or maybe it's the best British or Irish album of the year. I get them confused. Go here for more -- http://www.nationwidemercurys.com/.
The group's album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" won the $38,000 prize.

I personally would have voted for Editors, but they didn't ask me.

Here we are at Sept. 3 and I'm counting down to a month from now.

On Oct. 3, two albums I'm looking forward to come out.:

"Shine On" by Jet and "Sam's Town" by The Killers.

Mark your calendars.
