The 2010 Irish Blog awards shortlists were announced last night and I'm delighted to say I've made it onto two of the (not-so) shortlists. I've been nominated in the Insure.ie Best Popculture Blog and the deStudio Best Music Blog categories along with a couple of dozen other nominees in each category. Each blog may receive only one nomination in total and I have until just after lunch tomorrow to decide for which category I'd like to be considered.

In case you didn't make it, here's some recaps, as well as some news about our two most favorite bands (that are still together), The Bellmer Dolls and Shearwater . Sidecar Bar is lovely, and the fried chicken is totally scrumptious. We can't speak for [...]
