The 2007 P.L.U.G. Awards nominates revealed
This Morning thought press released and first posted on pitchforkmedia.com and slowly coming up in blogsight are the hourns for indie music and in the last few years it have been called the anti-grammys because it happend a few weeks after the grammys.
it called the "the P.L.U.G. Awards" now in it third year the Awards honurs the people who make real music for real music fans who hyped the music reslesselt, so in that case no america idols allow (thanks gods).
Now the nominates for the plug awards get state and voted on by a group of people called the PLUG Cartel it made up of three group of indie music lovers.
the noniatied get a look over from group one
PLUG Advisory Board
they are active members of the independent music scene from all over the conutry from indie store retailers, commercial specialty and college radio programmers, fans, artists, labels, writers, filmmakers, music supervisors, managers and agents.
Now to be Nominations for a PLUG
* The album, song, film, book or DVD nominated must have been released in 2006; the artist, radio station, retailer or magazine nominated must have been operating during 2006 (except the PLUG Impact Award).
* Any artist or release that comes out on a label that is not majority owned or directly distributed by a major distribution company (So that mean no major allow [UMVD, BMG, Sony, EMD, WEA]). there are Exception: artists released by independent distribution companies with ties to those above (like ADA, Caroline, RED) are still eligible.
Bottom Line: It’s not in the spirit of what PLUG’s about to make nominators/voters feel like PLUG is looking over your shoulder with a rulebook in hand. “Independent” isn’t meant to be a scientific or encyclopedic definition here, though the above “guidelines” have served us well these last few years.
The Advisory Board make up the list thue out October and make up the full final shortlist on November 14 which is today and goes thur the second group.
PLUG Voting College
it made up of a wider group of “music activists" for the people of the PLUG Advisory Board who work around the clock to increase the profile of indin music year round, they get there ballot in early November, the same time the vote go to the people by the internet that make up the third and last group.
