The 2014 Manlies
Over at The Man Hole's (red-headed-step) sister blog, The Land of Cerpts and Honey, our
long time bestest Buddy Cerpts has published his list of winners
for the Penguin Awards that he presents every year for his choices of the best in music. I too, in the
past, have given out awards for my favorite music over the years and I
also called them Penguin Awards. I have also called them The Crystal Swan Awards in honor of the Swan hatch on LOST. That made sense when I used to run the now defunct DHARMA and Greg Project blog
many moons ago. This is 2014 however and this blog does not rest on
it's laurels nor does it live in the past. Wait, is Max Headroom still
the main picture on the home page of the blog? I
also have that comment about being nostalgic posted up there too, don't
I? Well, USUALLY this blog doesn't live in the past. Anyway, this year
The Man Hole is giving away The Manly Awards or as they will be known: The Golden Scrots. We call them The Golden Scrots because this is a
picture of the award the winners will be getting:
I will be announcing nominations in 4 categories: Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Duet of the Year, and Cover of the Year. Clicking on the song title will open a window to the youtube video for each song. So without further ado-do here be the nominees:

ReplyDeleteOh, and why is one of the songs on the Duet and Cover Song lists a different colour than the others? Have we telegraphed our winners, perchance??? heh heh heh
One is linked to the video for the song and the other is not. Mouse over it and youse will see. No spoilers here sweetie! One (D)Erection missed being a nominee by a few weeks. Maybe next year.
