Award Season is Around the Bend...

Those East Coast and Midwestern bloggers beat me to the punch, but congratulations to Frances England for winning a Oppenheim Platinum award for her fabulous debut Fascinating Creatures.

(And, on a completely unrelated note, every time I hear about the Oppenheim awards, I keep on wanting to call it the Oppenheimer awards, thanks mostly to the Old 97's, who had a great track by that name off their 1999 CD Fight Songs. Unfortunately, that track's not available at their website, but you can hear samples from that album and others here.
