The '022 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2022 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

If you’ve followed this blog for any amount of years, you will probably know that I don’t like lists. And at the top of the list of lists I don’t like is Year End Lists. Usually you’ll just glance at them, maybe agree, maybe disagree, maybe complain... then completely forget about them and go about your day. Besides, who actually enjoys ranking art? So as is now tradition, that's where The Doomy Awards come in. In lieu of a “best of” list, I give you the award show you were waiting for (whether you knew it or not).

The '022 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

Awarded for Outstanding Musical Musicianship
in the Field of Music

These awards take a look at this year in music and honour the deserving songs, albums, and artists in the form of goofy award categories, as chosen by me (Kirk). And even though some awards may be a little silly, these are legitimately some of my favourite songs and albums of the year. Whenever possible, all artist links are to their bandcamp pages or direct websites, where you can/should go listen to and purchase these songs & albums!

So without further ado, and in no particular order, click through to find out the winners!

The '020 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2020 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

Well… we’ve been kind of silent here for the last few months, being a blog that focuses on live music and all. But you know I couldn’t let the year end without one certain tradition. By now you might know the deal. I don’t really think anyone really cares about year-end best-of lists anymore. Because first of all, you glance at them with a vague sense of disagreement before maybe complaining about it... then completely forgetting about it. And second off, it’s impossible to rank art. And that's where The 3am Awards come in. In lieu of a list, I give you the award show you may not have known you've been waiting for:
