They're not from Sydney.
I love how it's Nick Cave's ATP. He did so much work to make it such a great festival.
sorry... got confused, mixed it up with the AMP thing and pounced.
it's the acronyms. they'll do that to ya.
same applies for Luminous... these things are all about the figureheads when it comes to awards
These nominees were announced over a week ago, though. I'm sure there was even something on this site about them.
me, 15 days ago
shhh though, it was emailed out.
smac awards pr fail.
See, Lips isn't nuts.
pffttt... only news items count.
Why is there no name next to Gay Bash, then?
is this a joke?
i did vote on this quite a while ago
i don't know what Jingle Jangle and Gay Bash is.
god, and people think we melbs types are self obsessed. this feels a bit pathetic, no?
Best Collective? Weird.
my votes:
Best Music Event - Luminous Festival
Best Live Music Act - Seekae
Record of the Year - Seekae – STFOP
Best Collective - Red Rattler
Best Sydney Song - well, I don't really like any of these songs all that much.
Next Big Thing - megastick fanfare
S-E-E-K-A-E all the way
Best Collective: Mick Danias and Todd Wagstaff naked in the spa at Ken's Karate Club.
