[Edit: I just found out that anyone's allowed to vote for these awards. If you click on the link to the New Music Awards below, you'll see a VOTE NOW option. It asks for a business, name and email. You can put your name in both the Company Name and the Contact Person if you're not part of a company. Anyone interested in helping out, please head over and give Granville a vote. Thanks![/Edit]

I'm currently working on the sophmore CD release for Granville and I just got a call from them, well, from Brian who is Granville's singer/songwriter/brains . . . Turns out Granville's first CD has gotten them nominated for Best New Group/Duo at the New Music Awards in Hollywood, sponsored by New Music Weekly magazine.

Granville's listed in both the "AC/Hot AC" and "College" categories.

You can hear clips of the album on his web site above, and at both amazon.com and CDBaby. Four full songs can be heard at the Granville myspace page including Dissatisfied and The Warm Dark, both of which I did a lot of production work on.

Of course, that means I've got to get my ass in gear and finish up at least 3 songs on the new CD so they can have some new material to hand out at the awards on the 18th :-o

I thought it was pretty cool news.

That is very cool news for Granville, Brian and of course yourself Emdot. Congratulations all round. Hope this means more Granvilleness to come.

Thanks, Benedict!

We're pretty sure Granville doesn't have much chance of winning, especially in the one category.

If you go to the Vote Now seciont here http://www.newmusicweekly.com/nmwawards.php# and pull the drop down list under "Best New Group/Duo" in either of the mentioned categories, you'll see the other nominees. At least one of these bands has had a song of theirs used on an M&M (yeah, the candy) commercial. But it's a great oportunity for some networking, as well as great press pack stuff. I think Brian's attending with another friend who's helps with Granville's marketing. He's a professional photographer, too, so hopefully they'll get a lot of pics.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised to see him come back in this venue. Nice to see it's not all young myspace jazz-beard dudes in handmade hip hop skull caps.

I did indeed. :D I was very, very heavily involved with this one. The sound clusters, I assume are the wobbly guitar chords that run throughout the song. The guitar chords were originally recorded with a guitar synth FX that had an LFO effect that was a bit off tempo. I ran them through Vokator and modulated them with the rhythm guitar track to put them back in tempo.

Blah, blah, blah.

Thanks for the encouragement and votes!

That was fun, expecially being that I had no idea who 90% of those people are. You don't even have to vote for them all which is nice. Plus I got to vote for Murs, too.
