While those of us not living in New York City had to settle for watching the Grammys on TV, a far more important show was happening in New York City. It was not televised, so you wouldn't be able to see it unless you lived there. I'm talking about the Plug Independent Music Awards.
Plug is entirely devoted to independent music, and one could safely call it the polar opposite of the Grammys! I especially like this quote from the website:"PLUG is about the artists who inspire and the music that disrupts the artistic and corporate mediocrity that dominates our culture."
If you're interested, you can see this year's winners listed on the website, and support them by buying their music. You can also vote for your favorite artists next November, and have a say in who wins next year!

I need to check that out...although I will have to say I'm glad that the NARAS people and the Grammys gave Rick Rubin and the Dixie Chicks their due props this year, that was an incredible album and a bold front the Chicks stood by.
