We have moved! Our blog is now at www.paper-deer.com.
The quality and worth of creative acts are, by nature, quite a subjective thing. Artistic pieces - be it a song, a piece of performance theatre or a sculpture - can't really be measured objectively by scales and test scores. They're not like a maths test where one plus one is, and always should be, two.
Nevertheless, entertainment industries seem to be in the bad habit of singling out one particular piece of work as the "best" for that particular year, and 2010 seems to be no different. Here are the winners of the 2010 APRA Music Awards, held on June 21 at the Sydney Convention Centre:
- Song of the Year: Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition
- APRA Songwriters of the Year: Angus Young, Malcolm Young
- APRA Breakthrough Songwriter Award: Nick Littemore, Jonathan Sloan, Luke Steele
- Ted Albert Award for Outstanding Services to Australian Music: Jimmy Little
- Most Played Australian Work: Eskimo Joe's Foreign Land
- International Work of the Year: The Fray's You Found Me
- Most Played Australian Work Overseas: AC/DC's Rock 'N Roll Train
- Country Work of the Year: Troy Cassar-Daley's Big, Big Love
- Blues & Roots Work of the Year: Ashley Grunwald's Breakout
- Urban Work of the Year: Hilltop Hoods' Still Standing
- Dance Work of the Year: Empire of the Sun's Walking on a Dream
- Rock Work of the Year: Eskimo Joe's Foreign Land
Despite the fact that there are heaps of amazing yet unrecognised bands out there, Paper-Deer would like to give all of these home-grown Australian bands (except for The Fray because they're American) some serious thumb-up action for all the hard work, sweat and tears that went into their music.
