Joel Plaskett Emergency's march forward continues
-
Artist:Joel Plaskett Emergency
-
Album:Ashtray Rock
For a second year, Joel Plaskett dominates the East Coast Music Award nominations, with a total of seven. I said it last year, and I'll say it again ... it's a rare and special thing when music I like gets a nod like this that shows that other people like it, too. And honestly, Ashtray Rock was a kick-ass album, so he and the band really deserve it. Who knew there was so much you could do with a concept album about teenagers going out into the woods to get drunk?But jeeminy ... down here in dusty old Phoenix, we've gotten shows from the Weakerthans, the Besnard Lakes, Arcade Fire, ... even freaking Final Fantasy .... but no Joel Plaskett! And he even recorded his previous album here. *sigh* I suppose I'm just a whiner.
