Discogs Importer selects wrong music brainz artist with the same name

They have linked to the wrong Placebo on MusicBrainz even though the Placebo on Discogs is correct. They should be linking to this MusicBrainz entry.
The script just fills the box with text if the artist MBID matching the discogs URL is not in the cache when the page is loaded. However if the artist MBID is found on MusicBrainz and is in the cache, the matching artist will be automatically associated during the import.
So if you load https://www.discogs.com/release/6953524 and wait for MB icons apparearing besides each artist, and then reload the Discogs page and start the import, everything will be ok.
The importer could indeed be improved by updating the data used for the import each time an artist on Discogs is resolved to a MusicBrainz artist.
