It’s the FOWRies!

After a whirlwind five months of activity, as the year comes to a close, we bring to you the FOWRies! We feel that we’ve generated enough content to know a thing or two about a musical thing or two from the year 2010, and now we’re going to throw our weight around in the form of glorious trophies (not yet created)! Hopefully we’ll be generating stuff to read DAILY from now until the end of the year (except christmas eve and day).

Here are your awards and nominees, in the order that we came up with them in!
