Just to clarify what the Avalanche 2011 awards piece was about. My point was that anybody can just make up some awards and give them a bit of authority one way or another. The actual choices are obviously genuine but MINE and mine alone. Of course come say the next There Will Be Fireworks album if they used the The Avalanche “This band deserve to be huge” award to There Will Be Fireworks quote it would imply it was a poll of all my customers and not “just what Kev thinks”. Knowing the guys I’m sure they wouldn’t but plenty would.
Again I did them in an old skool NME kinda way which seems to have proved popular already so I may add a few categories. Band that the media rave about but really just sound like Vampire Weekend maybe or best single made out of chocolate.
