Sweet Static

Yes, another mp3 blog. Trying to share what I like with the world. The music here is for sampling only and are up for a limited time. It's simple really you see. If you like the music then go out and support the artists. Buy a cd/mp3/eight track, make a request on radio, see them live, tell others about it. This way this wonderful medium hopefully won't be stomped on.

Sweet Static is an mp3 blog that allows me to share the music I love and also to point out other cool things around the internet that catch my attention. It is also a place where I can talk about my radio show by the same name, now on Thursday nights from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm on CJAM 91.5 FM in Windsor, Ontario. Got something I should hear? Email me at sweetstatic @ gmail.com. All comments left here are emailed to my inbox, so you can get a hold of me that way also. You can also follow the show/me on twitter at sweetstaticcjam.

My PLUG Award Votes

I was reading an email from a label and they mentioned the PLUG Awards and I thought I'd vote. I also thought it'd make for a good post. I'm just going by their nominations and not doing any write in votes.

Album Of The Year-I've got to go with The Arcade Fire's Neon Bible. Have to admit that I haven't heard all the albums but I did really like Neon Bible.

New Artist Of The Year-Not even close here. I'm a huge fan of Los Campesinos! and can't wait for the full length next year.

Female Artist Of The Year-Not an easy choice but I'm going to go with Sharon Jones. I'm sure if I had seen Bettye LaVette when I had the chance I'd be voting for her but I love Sharon Jones.

Male Artist Of The Year-I'm going to with Sam Beam of Iron & Wine. I'm just getting into the latest record but it's enough for my vote.

Indie Rock Album Of The Year-Was thinking about The New Pornographers but sticking with Neon Bible.

Americana Album Of The Year-Another pretty easy one as I'm voting for The Avett Brothers' Emotionalism.

Music Website Of The Year-I'm going with Daytrotter, if only for the awesome Rock Plaza Central session they did.

Music Blog Of The Year-My favorite isn't on the main list so I'm going to go with An Aquarium Drunkard.

Magazine Of The Year-Another easy one for me and I voted for Magnet.

So there you go. The rest of the categories I didn't vote on. Definitely go and have your voice heard.
