Joe Flizzow

Malaysia's "premiere" music awards show Anugerah Industri Muzik has just announced the nominations for its 16th show, with Joe Flizzow, Hujan and Butterfingers holding the "better music" flag high.

Joe Flizzow has earned seven nominations including Best New Artist, Best Local English Album (for President, which Junk recently reviewed) and Best Local English Song (for 'All Around My World') while Hujan have picked up four impressive nods, including two for Best Rock Song for 'Bila Aku Sudah Tiada' and 'Dugaanya'. Other multiple noms include Flizzow's Too Phat buddy Malique, Butterfingers (four nominations each) and Pop Shuvit (two nominations). Good luck to all!

The full list of nominations can be viewed here.

In my opinion, Butterfingers should get the nod over Hujan since

1) Butterfingers has redefined their music over the decade from grunge to indie-folk rock; I just couldn't fathom how they manage to seamlessly fuse Malay tradition of syair and keroncong, which many of us seem to forget or deride, into their brand of rock. "Uneducated" musicians they are not.

2) Hujan, when many first heard their music, straight away label "Ni The Strokes versi Malaysia ke? / Julian Casablancas boleh nyanyi dalam BM?" They have since defied their critics but they haven't define their music...yet like Butterfingers have now done. In terms of popularity, Hujan has the pull of the mainstream crowd but I hope that won't be the major deciding factor in choosing the winner.

But yeah, a lot of independent bands charting & nominated for awards. Good thing or bad thing? Hopefully we'll bring 2008 indie boom's momentum into this year!
