Shortlist Music Prize
The Shortlist Music Prize gives an annual award to a band that has sold less than 500,000 albums, sort of an alternative to the Grammys or the UK's Mercury Prize. The finalists just got announced, and it's a great list (though not a lot of surprises,) including The Streets, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sigur Ros, Bright Eyes. And check out who the judges and nominators are: Tori Amos, Tom Waits, Chemical Brothers, Spike Jonze, Flea, Perry Farrell, The Neptunes, and some others. N*E*R*D won last year. Award show takes place in LA, which makes me a little envious; see more info.
