Every blog under the sun will have a go at picking the next years Warpaint / Best Coast / xx, so I might as well do too. Although, straight up, mine isn't going to be quite the same as the BBC Sound of 2011 which will feature James Blake and some others maybe along the lines of Cults, Tennis and Clare Maguire from the indie blog scene, another probable are the NME's new favourites (awful too) The Vaccines, the new (and unbelievably shit) "Kings of Leon" Mona and then not forgetting the token Rap artist too.
