Plug Awards honors J-Dilla, random indie-rock bands
On Saturday, Feb. 10 the Plug Independent Music Awards took place at Irving Plaza in New York City. And although the late J-Dilla, as noted before, drew a slew of nominations, he didn’t win the big one for Album of the Year. That trophy went to indie-rock favorite Band of Horses and their Everything All the Time. Meanwhile Hip-Hop Album of the Year went to Spank Rock’s Yoyoyoyoyo, and DJ Album of the Year went to Girl Talk’s Night Ripper. Seems like when it comes to awarding deserving artists, the Plug Awards are just like the Grammys.
To be fair, though, J-Dilla picked up an award for Artist of the Year and Record Producer of the Year. I didn’t actually attend the awards, but with performances from El-P, comedian/host David Cross and backpack lovers Deerhoof, I am sure it was very amusing. You can check out the list of winners below. Peace to Amaechi.
