5TH ANNUAL 2011 DMV MUSIC AWARDS


1. Nominees will be determined by an online voting system (40%) of the overall vote, a text-to-vote process

(30%), and a DMV industry "power ballot" (30%). The top 7 nominees from each category's will then are sent to a panel of 15 independent judges.

1. Online Nomination Ballot: Go to www.2011dmvawards.com to nominate. Each vote will be collected into a database, configured to only allow one vote per email address. The system records the IP address of each user to prevent multiple voting from a single email address.

2. Text to Vote: text the key word "DMV" (space) to 313131 then correspondent number BEST DC MALE RAP #4 codes, then the name of the group or artist you would like to vote for. example: TEXT "DMV" to 313131 #4 john smith

3. DMV industry "power ballot": These individuals are drawn from various media outlets and industry professionals, with an intimate knowledge of the local music landscape

We are confident that this system of voting should be the most compressive to date. The nomination deadline for the 2011 DMV MUSIC AWARDS is February 14, 2011.

2. The winners are chosen by a panel of fifteen judges, consisting of reputable and experienced DMV Industry power players, representing different segments of the industry.

1. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION: The selection committee will analyze each artist in each category and choose a winner based upon performance, products, and accomplishments achieved in the calendar year 2010. Winners will be based on concrete statistics, not industry politics.

2. The panel will review the top seven (7) nominees in each category as determined by the nomination process. 3. All nominees will receive full consideration to ensure that the most deserving nominee is chosen.

4. The winner of each category will be determined by who received the most votes from the final judging panel.

5. Members of the panel are required and expected to make unbiased and fair decisions. The acceptance of gifts is strictly prohibited. Panel members are urged to vote in a manner that preserves the integrity of the DMV MUSIC AWARDS.

While we want to make sure the voting process is fair, we will always want this to be an awards event where the people and fans are able to contribute and participate in the voting process. To ensure transparency, a list of the nominating panel representatives can be found here:

Winners will be presented with a DMV Music Award; however, all nominees will be presented with a letter of nomination and complimentary entry to the event.

We are confident that this system of voting should be the most comprehensive to date. The nomination deadline for the 2011 DMV MUSIC AWARDS is February 14, 2011.

My Brother is SMART.. Don't Hold it Against Him...
My fellow blogger and brother is one of the most intelligent cats in the world. With that being said, he is INSANE. Here is a look at his rantings that hit home to many. From his lips, to the pen, to the page, to your eyes, to your brain, enter the cortex and love him or hate him. I love him because as he always says.....
"We are all HUMAN AFTER ALL"
Dating Stereotypes 3.5 (The Woman's List)
I AM SAVING NOW FOR HEDONISM III IN JULY 2011!! NO SHIT...
So I'm way up past my bedtime (and this insomnia is kicking my ass), watching fine-ass Ali Larter (Google her) in the movie “Obsession”, and I get the urge to post something. Now this list is by no means scientific and is, for the most part, a bunch of stereotypes and miscellaneous perceptions from various women of various ages, races, and backgrounds. Actually, if we're really talking, it's just something to get us all over until I can drop another bomb for the masses... a filler-blog but a blog all the same. Now let me get back to the new love of my life. Ali Larter ... I'm coming baby!

I'd like to hear your feedback on this one so I can compile a better, more concise, list. Also, there's a female version of this list too but I'm too tired to post it. This chick I met from Baltimore, who works nights, is a combination of about six of the items on the list... for real. I won't put you on blast, Des femmes cubaines, as I know someone would have to talk you down off of the ledge after I finish with you. Moving on, the list is just something to kick around and have fun with and should be treated as such.
On a more serious note. I absolutely hate the Holiday Season for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it seems as if the people who've made it special for me through the years have passed-on. Momma (Aunt Honey), Daddy, Great-Grandma Ethel Foster, Mommy Vera, Adrienne Veney, Alice and Pop Walker. Don't get me wrong, my sister Tre (Mookie) ALWAYS makes a holiday of it and a good one at that. Christmas and Turkey Day the past couple of years have been outstanding thanks to Sis, Momma Mia, Vicki, and that whole Philly/NJ Crew. But I am missing the days of my father pulling me out of bed to help around the place in preparation of guest soon to visit. I miss helping Mommy (Vera) in the kitchen make a stuffing so good that I haven't tasted anything that comes close to this day. How can I forget Turkey Days with my deceased fiancee Adrienne? Good Times. I remember the day after our first Thanksgiving together watching a young Maryland Terps Basketball Team defeat, no upset, the Georgetown Hoya's while eating a brunch of deep-fried fish, onion and garlic potatoes, and mimosas'. I think I called-off from the hospital that whole weekend. We had several more the those holiday gatherings before she passed-on to a much better place.
What I am getting at is even though they ARE this hard, the holidays SHOULDN'T BE, considering the size of my family. As I reflect back over the history of our holiday gatherings I notice a trend: The generation next in line never follows through with tradition when the matriarch or patriarch passes-on. Why? There can be a thousand reasons but here are a few that stand-out to me but that another blog...
Stay Groovy and God Bless,
The Hedonist
