I'm not seeing this posted elsewhere (I could be wrong; I didn't search for it very hard), so I'm posting it here. And yes, I skipped some categories, sorry. I'm really happy about the inclusion of Johnny Lloyd Rollins, St. Vincent, and Smile Smile this year, and the whole Best New Act list is well worth listening to.

Radiant actually won the Best New Artist award at the DOMA's 2 years ago.
I'm saying; R*'s been on the scene since 2003? 2004? at least. Not "new". Thanks for doing the research.
Lame.
Funny that Midlake and Hourly Radio are only on there in like 1 catagory yet they are the only bands from Dallas who are actually really successfull and doing anything of merit. The same old bands (that I dont think are even bands anymore) are nominated for multiple catagories.
1996 Barley House forever!
Sorta rulz! Salim is my hero!
i don't understand the reasoning behind the live venue choices either. i've seen way more good shows at rubber gloves or hailey's than adair's or house of blues. and if they say that those are technically denton venues and not dallas venues, i would like to point out that many of those bands nominated are from denton and not dallas.
They say the public nominated this thing but I feel it is suspect at best. Just another example of how far The Observer has it's head up it's ass.
