Meh...
I wouldn't think i deserve any form of award. many others who deserve it more.
Guess i didn't feel that a compilation cd was above all releases in 2009.
I'd say "J Arthur Keenes Band - Pamplemousse" should have won, for simply originality and song composition.
He's pushing chip/8bit into a much needed new direction.
I'll eat my own words though.. having a comp cd win best release is the closest to having "everyone" win as possible.
Although i dont feel my track should have added to it's winning. my set was pure shit. But what ev's.
Pause, hands down, probably has the best Label with releases happening right now in my opinion as well. Not to talk down 8bp's. Love the tunes,
i just think Pause would be more likely to turn down a record submission from a returning artists if they didn't like it. And the releases
i've heard in the last 13 months from Pause have been top notch!
Glad the show/award ceremony went well!
