Local Popularity Contest. Thanks...?

Creative Loafing published their yearly "best of" this week. Congrats to The Selmanaires for winning best local band as voted by the Creative Loafing readers. Noot d' Noot won the critics pick as best new band. And Anna Kramer and the Lost Cause won critics pick for best country band, I suspect the critic in question is Chad Radford, thanks man. Hey, maybe International Hits isn't so bad after all. I would really like to see Henry and his Chunklet army create a local best of. I have a feeling that would be worth the read.
If anybody is actually reading this I say "thanks". Long live the glorious struggle to undermine indie blah, blah, blah.......

Hey to Beatrice!
