I'm actually going to this tonight. My friend Jim scored tickets to the pre-event thing. It should be interesting. Out of all this year's winners, I'm only acquainted with the work of Jim Woodring. I find his stuff very good and trippy. I'm slightly suspect of Charles Mudede. I mean, these awards are sponsored by the Stranger and Mudede has written for them for years. Isn't that a slight conflict of interest? On the other hand, he has written a movie - one that sounds very disturbing. So maybe the award is merited. I've also never heard Shabazz Palaces. I'll get to hear them tonight. OK, then.
