Music Blog Award Winners

It seems a little late into 2007 to be discussing music from 2006, but props goes out to our man Jason for spearheading and organizing the first ever Music Blog Awards. Jason got a whole bunch of us bloggers together (figuratively) to pick our brains about the albums, songs and artists we felt captured the spirit of '06. He even lined up eMusic as one a sponsor, and then turned the controls over to the voting public.

The results are in! You can see how they shake down by checking out the winner's post at the MuBA site here. Here's a brief run-down of some of the categories, and how I voted in them:


1. Best Artist: The Decemberists
(my vote: Belle & Sebastian)

2. Best Song: Peter Bjorn and John - "Young Folks"
(my vote: The Kife "We Share Our Mother's Health")



3. Best Album: The Decemberists The Crane Wife
(my vote: Belle & Sebastian The Life Pursuit)

5. Best Blog: I Guess I'm Floating
(my vote was for IGIF, too!)

6. Best Debut Album: Beirut - Gulag Orkestar
(my vote: Society Islands Kiss & Tell)

So... there's always next year (or this year, I guess). Thanks to those who voted through QBiM, and thanks again to Jason for a job well done.

Peter Bjorn and John "Objects of My Affection" (from Writer's Block)

The Knife "We Share Our Mother's Health (Trentemoller Remix)" (from "WSOMH" single)

Beirut "Fountains and Tramways" (from Pompeii)

The Society Islands "Disjoint Allocation" (from Kiss & Tell)
