Hey y'all.  Just got out of my final (aced it) and won't have to go back to school until the fall.  I just wanted to drop by to say congratulations to all of this year's winners of the 2008 Detroit Music Awards.  I didn't get a chance to attend myself (missed The Nuge dammitalltohell), but I wanted to give special congrats to some of my long time faves such as Ty Stone (outstanding rock/pop artist or group et al), Nadir (Outstanding Urban / Funk Vocalist et al), Billy Brandt (Outstanding Folk Artist / Group et al), Dave Feeny (Outstanding Country Instrumentalist), Rachel May (who should get an award for most consecutive awards - who does hold that record?), DJ Linda Lexy (Outstanding Electronic/Dance DJ), Liz Larin (Outstanding Electronic / Dance Writer Producer), Vinnie Dombrowski & Crud (Outstanding Rock/Pop vocalist, Rock/Pop Songwriter, Industrial Artist) and Luke Sayers (Outstanding Acoustic / Folk Recording) and to The Hard Lessons (Outstanding Live Performance).  To all those above and all the other DMA winners, sincere congrats to you all.

See ya 'round,

Mitch
