Boston Music Awards...

This year, the 21st Boston Music Awards (BMAs) were held on Sunday, December 7th. They did it a bit differently this year where it was invite/industry only with a few VIP tickets available for purchase.

New Kids On The Block were up for National Act of The Year. I have gone to the award show several times back in the 90s but stopped going when I didn't necessarily have a vested interest. While I do enjoy the thought of supporting local music, there just happened to be nothing that interested me personally.

I did not attend this year as I am being responsible and not spending money on another "show". Not because I'm a 'grown - up', but because I'm saving up for shows next year!


Anyway, I digress...

I'm happy to report that New Kids won their award! How exciting - I'm quite proud of what they achieved when so many said this was a cheesy marketing ploy - "to all you non-believers I say 'peace', you suckers"... (sorry I felt a specific song lyric was appropriate)

Boston Music Awards...

New Kids On The Block are a Boston Music Awards 2008 Act of the Year nominee! The Boston Music Awards will be held on December 7 this year. It's been years since they've been nominated and I think it's just cool that their reunion is garnishing this much buzz that they're up for an award for Act of the Year.

I've gone to several Boston Music Awards (1990, 1991 & 1992) when they were up for all kinds of awards back in the day. It was crazy, hectic & so much fun. I may even have to contemplate if I go again.

I wouldn't be a true, die-hard fan if I didn't go, right??

I think that everyone who reads this should vote for them under "Artist of the Year (National)" from now until December 5th.
