Flea Nominates Nick Cave For The Short List

The Longlist for this years Shortlist has been announced and Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers has nominated Nick Cave's Nocturama for the list.

Flea also nominated Gillian Welch 'Soul Journey', GZA/Genius 'Legend of the Liquid Sword', Solomon Burke's 'Don't Give Up On Me' and The Mars Volta 'De-Loued in the Comatorium'.

Other nominees for the list include Spike Lee voting for Beck's 'Sea Change', Chris Martin of Coldplay going for The Coral, Tom Waits likes The Eels, Josh Homme picked Hot Hot Heat and Perry Farrell has recognized The Music.

"This year's Long List features artists from five continents and thirteen countries, ranging from rock to hip hop to folk to electronica," said Shortlist co-founder Greg Spotts, "And each album is handpicked by one of the world's top musicians or tastemakers." Adds Shortlist co-founder Tom Sarig, "With over forty-five different labels represented, and half the nominees signed to independent companies, this year's Long List shows a vibrant and prolific creative community."

The ten finalists for the award will be announced in early September, and the third annual Shortlist Music Prize will be presented at a multi-artist concert on October 16th at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles
