Well, we're about to close up shop here and head over to the Granada to take care of some last-minute preparations for tonight's 22nd annual Dallas Observer Music Awards Ceremony. As we've told you before, tonight's affair should be a pretty special one. In addition to handing out some 32 awards, we'll also have performances from 15 nominated acts--some will play in-your-face sets on the floor, while others share the mainstage and will wow you with the live-mash-ups they've been working on. Here's the planned order-of-events as far as performances:
- In "the pit": Leg Sweeper
- Live mash-up: The O's vs. Somebody's Darling
- In "the pit": Spooky Folk
- Live mash-up: Dust Congress vs. Shiny Around The Edges
- In "the pit": Descender
- Live mash-up: RTB2 vs. THe BAcksliders
- In "the pit": Bad Sports
- Live mash-up: Air Review vs. Smile Smile!
- In "the pit": Whiskey Folk Ramblers
- Live mash-up: galleryCat vs. Mount Righteous!
We'll see you over there in a few hours.
Till then, to whet your appetite, we've got another treat for you. Remember those Sarah Jaffe and Ishi covers posted earlier this month by photographer/synth/ukulele guru David Wilson? Well, turns out Wilson wasn't able to make video clips for all of the "Best Song" nominees after all. But he did finish his covers--and he's kindly passed them along for you to stream, and download if you like. Check them out after the jump.
