The Brit Awards 2010: Our picks

The Britannia Awards, as they were once known, are here once again. This year, The BRIT Awards, one of the most sought after musical award ceremonies to grace our Island, is due to be held at Earls Court on February 16th. I’m finally excited by British music again, and the BRITs, to me, are a celebration of some of our most talented artists. We like to play favorites here at The Ruckus, and this time is no different. Read on to see which of the very talented nominees we've tapped as most deserving.

Playing Favorites: Ten Albums In 2009

This week, we are bringing the year to a close not only by bringing you a brand new name, but also by reviewing our favorite albums, EPs and tracks of 2009. To kick things off, we (Melanie and Tiffiny) have put together a list (in alphabetic order, of course) of ten albums that have worked their way into our heads and hearts in 2009. Thank you so much for reading American Indie and for making it such a great ride in the later half of 2009, and for welcoming The Ruckus with open arms. We all look forward to a brilliant 2010.

Thanks a million,

Melanie, Tiffiny, Sheena, Dave, Lizzie, Amy, and Cheryl
