DOMA Live || August 14, 2007
Looks like Jasun will be able to live-blog from the Dallas Observer Music Awards. If you can't attend--or are out of town--and want the scoop on winners, losers and whatever crazy shit goes down, keep it here tonight. Jasun will update this very post within hours from now. -SM
JASUN
640 : I'm here. The line outside is long. the line for food is longer. No sign of Bottle Rocket star Robert Musgrave (my personal draw tonight), but my eyes are open. Looks to be packed tonight. The Crash That Took Me are about to perform for the "VIP" party. More later.
706 : Coach Joe is here! This party is officially started
728 : The Crash That Took Me ruled. [come on, Jasun, we need more MEAT to these! Dd readers expect more for you...]
7:35 : nobody in cammo or unibomber gear yet
741 : Talking to two drunk guys giving commentary outside. Everyone is either 'Kings of Leon' or 'a hot chick' except for black tie dynasty, who are 'flock of seagulls'
755 : Greg from queen for a day ( best cover nom) -- 'We are not going to win'
800 : ceremony starts in 15 minutes. Granada is getting packed...there's still plenty of food
807 : the bro to ho ratio is about even. this might not be so bad
812 : The official word from the double wide girls = "Its and honor just to be nominated"... They had better win
814 : Tahiti from PPT wants to go on record saying "Sammy Mac.... he's my nigga"
827 : Here we go
830 : Pugs and Kelly announce Coach Joe to give the first award
831 :1st award: Best radio show. winner = The Adventure Club ... Josh is here, nice speech, actually
833 : Best Blog.... Gorilla vs Bear
834 : Best Venue = Granada.
835: Granada crew sounds like KISS thanking Dallas, Texas. no meantion of yeomans [kris yeomans, who has helped the venue's recent booking renaissance]. lame
838 : Best label = Idol Records. Irv [Karwelis] shows class. Thanks about every band ever on his label. Nice win
840 : Best Dance Club = The Lizard Lounge. yawn
843 : Joe's last award. Best DJ = DJ Merritt. The Party fans boo. Merritt tries to get people into En Vogue remixes. At least I think that's what happened. I fell asleep.
845 : Shibboleth takes the stage to play songs by the 5 Americans and the Nervebreakers.
901 : Steve Austin expresses how excited he is 'just to be here,' cliché or not. "It's been the best year of my career, and it's great to see so many people representing DFW here tonight," he says. The hip-hop/rap category is probably the award that has us torn the most tonight, as Steve and PPT both deserve the award. [Sam: Hell, I put my vote towards Money Waters and his stellar Niggahlaws record as well.]
905 : George Gimarc takes the stage to give the next set of awards.
907 : Best Latino/ Tejano = Mad Mexicans
909 : Best Cover Band = Hard Nights Day. Mike Rhyner looks like he could care less that Petty Theft didn't win.
913 : Best Funk/R&B = Woodbelly. Not here. zzzzzzzzzz
915 : Backsliders win best blues. say they aren't a blues band. knock over mic.
917 : Best Jazz = Shanghai 5. that's 2 for Idol Records
925 : Paul Slavens and Shibboleth just killed 'Nurture My Pig', waiting for PPT to cover The DOC with bated breath...
935 : PPT takes the stage to cover The DOC's 'No one can do it better'. This place just got live. Girls crowing the front of the stage for the first time. Best moment of the night.
940: Channel 11's Sara Dodd and Dallas Police Chief David Kunkel take the stage...and David needs to get on the stage, because 1100 Springs just got robbed by Boys Named Sue for best country [Sam: Jasun has a serious 1100 bias, not always to be trusted]
942 : the pAper chAse win best experimental. hell yes
943 : Sarah Jaffe wins best folk/acoustic. hell yes
944 : Best Hard Rock = Burden Bros. they aren't here; I guess they are opening for def leppard in columbia, missouri tonight
945 : Best rap/hip-hop=PPT
950 : The smoking area [outside of the Granada] looks like an NHRA meeting
958 : Had a brief chat with Doug Burr. He is one one of the most incredible dudes in Dallas. That's all
1000 : Shibboleth are killing inside, but Pops Carter is holding a clinic outside.
1012 : the valentines just won whatever they were nom'ed for
1014 : Best New Act = sarah jaffe
1017 : Best Song = honkey tonk if yer horny by boys named sue
1020 : Best Album = movements by black tie dynasty
1021 : BTD get on stage and aren't baboon. sucks
1023 : Shiboleth get on stage and hate the fact that they have to play songs by Steve Miller and Meatloaf
1024 : The Steve Miller cover makes exactly 1% of the dancers grind that the PPT cover did. And I'm pretty sure that one was someone's grandmother
1044 : long ass musical break
1047 : The crowd is chewing their wrists in unison to the Meatloaf cover that has taken 15 years to play
1049 : Wilonsky makes his first Jew joke saying that Chris Holt is meatloafing his 'next' bar mitzvah
1050 : jonanna hits the stage!
1051 : Best Insturmentalist = Eddie Thomas from BTD. amazing
1054 : Best Producer = Salim Nourallah
1055 : Best Male Singer = Corey Watson BTD
1058 : Best Female Singer = Sarah Jaffe. hell yes
1059 : Best Musician is Chris Holt...she didn't announce it, though. she accidentally revealed it by holding the envelope the wrong way so everyone in the front could read it. nice.
1100 : Best Act in Town = Black Tye Dynasty. I wanna move
1103 : Andrew from Baboon is more interested in talking to me about Arsenal being 2 points
ahead of ManU after the first weekend than talking music awards. it's okay. Bobby Patterson takes the stage
1110 : Record Hop/Spitfire Tumbleweeds/ SHQ/ TXMF's Scott Porter gives me his opinion on the awards--"hahahahahahahahahahahaha"
1115 : heading out. Pops Carter is still holding church service outside. Tonight's real winners are those that pass him on the way to their car

Bobby Patterson killed everyone else. Best entertainer in the room, hands down.
I concur. I shook my ass hardest to the Patterson. "TCB or TYA"
