a shameless plug - luther
So this years Plug Awards are creeping up almost as fast as SXSW, and though they are close together and one is on the other side of this great nation of ours, we shouldn't forget the role that it plays in this fickle little community we call independent music. Though the awards show itself, featuring live performances by the likes of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and so-hot-right-now-bee St. Vincent, is hosted by the endearing Patton Oswalt, their promo videos star the alienating and awkward Michael Showalter (also endearing, but in a creepier way), a PE favorite.
Showalter recently plowed the Mohawk under with friend Michael Ian Black and about 700 local fans, after which PartyEnds brought some indoor music fun. Well, in his latest internet video he touts the Plug awards as a clerk in a mix-tape store front. It's funny, outsider-ly, and indie as fuck. Check it out here on the site and check out the award nominees over at the Plug web site. The blogosphere inter-world premier:
