voting on boards.ie.....
not many voted for our own awards ceromony...i dont think there will be much interest!

monument

if there is still a lack of interest the idea can be scraped

Dustaz

I dont know how I missed them, just added to Best Irish Artist Website And Best Irish Based Live Act

monument

Also just add "Best New Act to Ireland" and resorted nominations

and just add "Best Dance"

DeVore

Music has become a HUGE part of Boards.ie with about half the people signing up indicating that its an interest or the main reason they have signed up so I think there could be great interest in this.

If you put the posts together I'll announce it Boardswide...
(you should really make them individual votes)

DeV.

seamus

I'd also make sure to consult with Lucutus, save him a nervous breakdown. Or else set it up on the 'Boards Awards' board, which is a better idea.....


Also a couple more categories:

Best Male/Female (or just one 'solo' category)
Best Metal.
Best Video
Best Single
Best Album
?

Lucutus

Sure,

It's a good idea, if you, (monument), wanna throw separate posts with polls on here for each category, that's fine, start them with something like...

Boards.ie Music Awards: Best Blah

..so I/We know what it is for.

I can move them to Boards Awards later...

I suggest using this thread for discussing it in general and each Poll thread can be for discussing the award in question. I'll sticky the Poll threads too, please tho, no more than 10 award categories

Luc

Okie

Some more suggestions:-

Best Music Radio Show

> Dad Rock - Today FM (Sunday nights 9 - 11. Was much better with Marty Miller tho)

Best Irish Artist Website

> paddycasey.com

thedrowner

id like to see air in one of the categories, any one, i dont mind!

Ok will do so, but first I will let every one post their ideas...

monument

Due to the cap of 10 categories, Best dance is being replaced by Best Album. Its only fair to get rid of best dance, as there are no other genre type categories.

also thanks to DeVore and every one who has posted

Kali

Get rid of the two greatest hits from the albums section. cos they're not albums

replace with: Gomez - In Our Gun, Doves - The Last Broadcast, DJ Shadow - Private Press, Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow, The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles...

And why do you is the first category called "Irish-based"?
Is that just to slip Rodrigo y Gabriela in? who are far from Irish

best Irish group I've seen this year would be easily be the Redneck Manifesto.

never heard them live, but they are good, so added.

Syd_Vicious

This is Syd_Vicious speaking...

Even more suggestions

Best Visiting Live Act
P.O.D. - best concert I've been to this year

Best Album
Believe by Disturbed - Awesome stuff. The superb song Prayer is on the album

This has been Syd_Vicious speaking...

Mossy Monk

another addition for Best Visiting Live Act should be Moby. i saw him in the Point last night and i must say it was one of the best things i have ever seen. he was most excellent

DeVore

Would Oribtal be accepted as an Irish Band? (from the north iirc).

Frankly live they kick bountyful bootie!

I second them.
Excellent album, and if the gig hadnt been so small I would put it forward for best visiting live act because their concert was simply fantastic.

Nah, they have a song called Belfast tho

Bard

Oh, and can we have a big pissup in a groovy venue and invite all the award winners to come along and pick up their framed pieces of paper and rapidly get drunk with us?

[other voices a-lá Barney Gumble]

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, I agree with him.

Yeah, listen to Bard!

Yeah, Bards idea! Bards idea!

Bards the man.

Heavens! The boy is right!

etc.

[/other voices a-lá Barney Gumble]

monument

Lucutus

just because.

yellum

There should be some sponsored drinking event to go with this. The O2 MMS Boards Music Awards or something. Any local brew companies want to sponsor a few kegs ?

Bard

oh when you put it that way...

right you are so

Dustaz

Ehm, The categories seem a bit strange. Theres 1 album award and 2 website awards?

Music awards should be about the music, not the websites:)

What about best new international act instead of new to ireland (only 3 choices)?

monument

why did you not say this before?

"Ehm, The categories seem a bit strange. Theres 1 album award and 2 website awards?"

it looked like a good idea at the time to do three website awards as it an online awards

"Music awards should be about the music, not the websites:)"

true, but this is an irish online music awards

"What about best new international act instead of new to ireland (only 3 choices)? "

again, its an irish awards, wanted to have a good bit of irish in it

next year it will be better, if I dont some one can :rolleyes:
