One of the things I’ve enjoyed doing over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” website is to keep up with and share the nominations and results of a bevy of Awards Shows. If you’ve not seen the last batch of what’s been posted, just use THIS LINK to offer up a quick reference point but be aware that so much of them are in no way shape or form related to the Heavy Music or Geek Culture focuses that you find on PiercingMetal each and every day.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: As you can see the list is short which is one of the main reasons for my even sharing it. I will not add much more to the mix since I’ve added my own selections for each of the categories but I do wonder what you readers thought about the summary, my choices and if they are in agreement with yours or if you want to meet me in the schoolyard to “discuss” it. Chime in down in the comments section below with that and be sure to get your own votes in on the website linked below.
