Nominatin’ Time

Man, it’s getting so that this is my favorite part of the year, H-town music-wise — the Houston Press Music Awards are coming up. The festival itself is still a little ways off (here’s me crossing my fingers that it’s actually on while I’m in town and not gallivanting around Michigan or Sweden in the next few months), but it’s already time to start nominating people you like to get the coveted brass guitar pick (or whatever the hell the award actually is; I’ve never seen one). Go here to do some nominatin’, and then chill for a while ’til the actual voting starts.

The funny part about this year’s Awards, by the way, is that I’ve literally got no clue who’ll win what. As testified to recently, there’re a ton of amazingly good bands currently plying their trade in this town, so who’s gonna walk home with the prize is anybody’s guess. Will it be Jana Hunter? (Quite possibly.) Arthur Yoria? (Heck, yeah.) The Western Civilization? (Damn, I hope so.) Guess we’ll just have to wait & see…
