Dunno if I'm "dedicated", but I've long considered myself a member of this community, even if I just started posting. Looking at the Radio Rivendell Wikipedia page, with the last significant updates being the 2008 awards, it looks like "we've" gone dark. Seems like a simple impression to fix. So are we waiting on the finishing touches on the voting module to bury 2009? I'm all for starting on the 2010 nominations before the ball drops in Times Square (or the Scandinavian equivalent). Truth be told, looking at my own music collection, more has interested me this year than last. So far: God of War III Into the White Assassins Creed 2 Best of Orkpack 2010 The Last Airbender Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising But I don't want to get side-tracked on a deliverable from 5 months from now while we're still 7 months behind on 2009.

2010: How to Train your Dragon

I'll get my Radio Rivendell mug filled with elven coffee and will finish 2009 today okay? And you guys can start a new thread for 2010 and post there. We better start early this year

These are my three nominees for the song by independet composer, I need one more. Can you help me? Born of Hope Trailer (November 2009) - Rob Westwood Olive's Branch (The Procession) - Solitary Muse A New World - Pontus Rufelt

What's the definition of an independent composer? David John released Mysteries of Westgate in 2009 for Ossian Studios. They are pretty tiny. What are all the categories for 2009? I'll go ahead and compile a separate thread for 2010 based upon that.

Aaah, excellent! I think I'll go with David John then, he's great, love his work! It's a thin line between independent and signed artists. It's actually very difficult to distinguish. I'm on a record company myself, but have sold five or so CDs, I still consider myself somewhat of independent

I bought one of your CDs, Elrond! As Lord of this realm, I'm happy to leave to you such decisions about who fits into what categories. (But I love David Johns' work. Good choice.)

Yay, one of my five fans!

I'll get my Radio Rivendell mug filled with elven coffee and will finish 2009 today okay?

I'll get my Radio Rivendell mug filled with elven coffee and will finish 2009 today okay? Yeah, whatever happened with that?

c0c0c0, do you get the impression we're being ignored?

I'm not taking it too personally, just yet. I don't think he's be able to log in for a few days.

Aaagh, yes, I'm the worst elf. I'm ashamed of myself. There have been life and sun and beer in the way. I'll launch the voting TODAY, okay?

Promises, promises ...
