The whisper on the grapevine is that Burial – a young gent - went to the same school as one of the guys from (2006 nominees) Hot Chip.
His nomination initially smacked of the panel attempting to convince the nation that they're "with it", after all, does anyone really like dubstep? Apparently so, he's the favourite, and might follow in the footsteps of dance floor artists like Roni Size (1997) and Dizzee Rascal (2003) by winning the thing. The favourite, somehow.
