Since my mind acts randomly, I looked up what the deal was the Plug Awards for 2009. It gives me a chance to rant about the pointlessness of award shows. As it turns out, there is no Plug Awards for 2009. No announcement was made and the website hasn't been updated since March 2008. It's now May. Safe to assume its a victim of the economic downturn?

I guess there's no point of having a corporate-sponsored, indie rock award show when you can't make it big, flashy, self-centered and overblown. Then you can't get name acts to play in front of banners that pimp out computers and energy drinks. So when the dollars aren't there, indie rock won't get their props. Proves that the Plug Awards were about $$$.
