Ugh, what a sorry state of affairs. Moonfire is the dullest album of the year, Boy and Bear - Australia's answer to Mumford & Sons (like anybody asked). At least Zonoscope won best dance release but it shoulda been nominated for album of the year at least over Ghosts of the Past, fuck. They had a few good years during the 2000s but now theyre worse than the grammys. Ugh!

HEYOOOOOO!

And don't bitch, you guys, at the Canadian "Juno Awards" we had Justin Bieber win two awards this year... ugh...

Although we also had Arcade Fire, Neil Young, Broken Social Scene, Rush, Caribou, Die Mannequin, Crystal Castles, Matthew Good, Cancer Bats and Deadmau5.

...now, that I think about it, it wasn't all that bad. Being a Canuck rocks! :D

Now I'm just fucking depressed. harkan's going to kill me for saying this but...we suck so bad compared to you guys. I mean when the best song up there ^ is by a New Zealander (that's your cue mancsoulsister Razz ), that doesn't say much for the Australian music industry.

I agree on some parts Jhereko (Canada has better talent), but it isn't all bad. Gotye (Belgian born) is something unique for Australia and we always inherit Kiwis so that isn't new. If I had my way, Grinderman 2 would have won Album of the Year.

Anyone who didn't strongly consider suicide after the American Music Awards this year has no soul.

You know Australian music is subpar when this album:

is nominated for Album of the Year. d'oh!

On the bright side, Ukulele Baby won Best Children's Album, so all is forgiven. Cool
