The winners of the 2008 WAMi Awards were announced over the weekend. Among the nominees this year were The Panics toting their J Award winning Cruel Guards album, John Butler's double-platinum selling Grand National, and Gyroscope featuring a video "shot in the same farm where the Led Zeppelin crop circle was made that featured on the cover of the Remasters disc." That's a long, long way to go for a farm. Paid off though:
