Re: East Coast Music Awards nominees...

traditional and celtic to me, wrote:

Yes, in Newfoundland to get away from the Halifax domination of years past 
and make it a truly "East Coast" event.

If I can remember todays Daily News article, the only "alternative" 
nominees are in the "Best Alternative Recording" category:

Bubaiskul "In Sex" (sic)
Hardship Post "Mood Ring"
Eric's Trip "Songs About Chris"
jale "Cinnamon Toast" (sic)
and damned if I can remember #5, maybe Potbelly.

Personally, I don't know how they missed Thrush Hermit's "John Boomer" or 
for that matter, ET's "Love Tara" or HP's "Hack".  No Sloan, since the 
album was released last year, garnering 7 nominations across many 
categories and no awards.

Not among the main categories, I'm afraid.
