2012 Logan Awards Now Taking Nominations!

Greet­ings, Com­e­dy Music Connoisseurs! 

It is time for the Logan Awards for Com­e­dy Music to begin once more, and when bet­ter than a month that starts with April Fool’s Day? This year we will be accept­ing YOUR nom­i­na­tions for the best of last year’s com­e­dy music from the end of April until the end of May. The judg­ing mag­ic will hap­pen the first week of June, and then the awards will be pre­sent­ed at the pageantry of Deep­South­Con 50 in Huntsville, Alaba­ma in the pres­ence of Dr. Demen­to him­self. So crank up those stere­os and get seri­ous about your com­e­dy! (Wait… did that make sense?)

-Dan­ny Birt, Logan Awards Chair­man 2012

Unqualified Suggestions Removed

We’ve seen a num­ber of songs that were not released in 2010 sug­gest­ed, and we’ll con­tin­ue to remove these. Please don’t nom­i­nate songs that are not songs, songs that were released in years oth­er than 2010, entire albums (lookin’ at YOU, Boobles), and please try to lim­it your sug­ges­tions by artist to the one or two you real­ly think deserve the award.

We are try­ing to err on the side of includ­ing songs as eli­gi­ble, how­ev­er. And in answer to a spe­cif­ic inquiry, Tom Smith’s 307 Ale was a new record­ing released in 2010. That’s the record­ing that will be con­sid­ered, and the fact that it is a re-release will be a fac­tor in the juror’s decisions.

Thank you, and please keep spread­ing the word while Open Nom­i­na­tions continue.
