RTP-area local music and culture

It wouldn't hurt, either, if the Indy would host mp3 samples of the 
nominated songs in their music poll. Would it be so hard to make that a 
condition of being nominated, that the bands have to make the songs 
available, at least for streaming?

Hmm. I just went looking for this year's ballot but it's not at the 
logical place, http://www.indymusicawards.com

It's linked from here, though:

I did a zine once with a CD in it. It was fun to put together. I was 
gonna do another one but, um, circumstances intervened. If I do another 
one, it'll be a DVD instead of a CD, though. Video being the new audio, 
of course.
