Aria Award Nominations

, , 3 Comments

The 23rd Aria Award Nominations were announced today. It has a lot of usual suspects in there, but thankfully there’s also some new talent getting the attention they deserve. Empire of the Sun don’t necessarily count as new talent since both members have been around for a while, but they’ve basically re-colonised the globe and I’m especially happy about their nomination since they’re likely to stop AC/DC from winning any of the big awards.

Also, Ladyhawke curiously made the list – curiously since she’s from New Zealand. Not that she doesn’t deserve the plaudits, but surely that means Flight of the Conchords should be nominated/hands down walking away with the ‘Best Comedy Album’ award.

Nominations after the jump.
