Forget the Grammy’s, The Gummy’s Have Been Announced!

As in Stereogum’s awards, that bastion of indie information on the Internet. The winners were voted for entirely by readers of the website, not by any secret committees. Radiohead’s new album, “In Rainbows” that was available for download for a payment amount of your choice took best album. In the best video category, the gay’s own Grizzly Bear came in ninth with their video for “Knife” and Kanye West’s video for “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” featuring Will Oldham and piano-tinkling comedian Zach Galifianakis came in third.

Lot’s of queers made the list in various categories, but especially in Mr. and Ms. Indie Rock where Tegan won out over Sara and both beat Beth Ditto (who should win every contest ever). But of course Feist was number one (yawn). On the men’s side Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear, Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy and Bradford Cox of Deerhunter all placed, though none made the top ten. But we do love that sweet Swede, Jens Lekman, who came out on top.

In the Most Overblogged category, Arcade Fire took the cake, even though they also won Best Live Show and came in third for Best Album. So maybe they were overblogged about for a reason? Cause they’re awesome and people really really like them. Amy Winehouse came in a predictable second, with Deerhunter coming in fourth probably because of all that business about poop and young boys on their website.
