Scottish Album of the Year Award – "It's not a competition: it's a celebration, an opportunity, a platform"
A year and a half ago, I published an article that explained why "the Mercury Prize increasingly has little relevance to the music scene in Scotland" and concluded: "It's surely time Scotland followed the example of the various countries who organise their own version of the Mercury Prize, such as Ireland, Canada, Australia, Germany and France."
Little did I know it was already at the very top of someone's to-do list.
That person was Stewart Henderson, co-founder of Scotland's most revered record label, Chemikal Underground, and board member of the Scottish Music Industry Association. (He also played bass for one of my all-time favourite bands, The Delgados, so it's safe to say I like the guy.)
The SMIA has only been in existence since 2009, but today it scores off one of its primary objectives – the launch of a Scottish Album of the Year Award.
There are various music prizes and award-giving events in Scotland but this is the first one that the general public might actually pay much attention to. This is an important point because the country needs something that will capture the imagination of people who aren't already emotionally invested in the Scottish music scene, something that will engage the mainstream media, spark arguments in rural pubs and get social networks a-buzzing.
The most stark evidence that the Scottish Album of the Year Award is a proposition that should be taken seriously is the amount of hard cash it has been given by Creative Scotland and the Scottish Government to get it off the ground – £85,000.
Of this, £20,000 goes to the winner (a sum equal to that of the Mercury Prize), with £1,000 to the nine runners-up. Each of the 10 shortlisted finalists also get an art prize, commissioned to the tune of £20,000 and created by a Glasgow School of Art graduate. From next year onwards, this in itself will be a competition between the graduates from Scotland's four principal art schools – Glasgow School of Art, Edinburgh College of Art, Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen and Dundee's DJCAD.
The SAY Award (as it shall be known, just you wait) pays homage to albums released in the previous calendar year. For the inaugural event that means we're going to do a lot of reminiscing back to 2011. So if you're a Rangers supporter, or if you've booked a cruise on the Costa Concordia, life's pretty sweet.
This graphic helps explain how the process is going to work in 2012:
Last month, 100 nominators were asked by the SMIA to list their favourite 5 albums of 2011 in order of preference. The nominators were drawn from across the music industry, such as retailers, journalists, radio employees, genre-specific experts, venue staff, DJs, concert promoters and, yip, even bloggers. In order to limit the most blatant conflicts of interest, certain folk – managers and record label owners for instance – were not invited to play.
As the number above says, there will be a hallowed list of 20 albums, determined by those who have accrued the most points from the nominators.
This is the part when those deemed classy enough to have made the longlist lose all semblance of cool by failing to stop themselves begging for votes from fans, relatives and former teachers. If you are invited to do just that via a Facebook event, click 'Maybe' and keep them sweating.
Whoever gets the most public votes will be guaranteed a place on the shortlist of finalists if they haven't already been chosen by the Judging Panel. If the latter is the case, this artist will have as much chance of winning the award as I do. The shortlist is an even more hallowed (hallowed-er?) roll call of 10 albums, culled from the longlist by the Judging Panel. This special syndicate fully deserves capital letters to compensate for the fact they will get a beasting on Twitter when they inevitably pick the wrong finalists.
Tuesday, June 19 – mark it in the diary now. The evening of the SAY Award (told you it would catch on) ceremony clashes with England's wholly unanticipated defeat to Euro 2012 hosts Ukraine. The winning album will be announced at southside venue Film City Glasgow, which I never even knew existed until last night, so I'm not going to pretend I didn't copy and paste this fact: it is a dedicated film and television production facility in what was once Govan Town Hall.
I genuinely hope the SAY Award is a success, not just because recognition on this scale for Scottish musicians is long overdue, but because Stewart Henderson has worked relentlessly behind the scenes to mould this into something that is inclusive and embracing, as the man himself explains.
Why is the SAY Award a good thing for the Scottish music scene?
Stewart: "Honestly? I think it's better than good, I think it's a great thing for Scotland's music scene. There's an unprecedented scale and scope to this award in terms of the input that's been given from throughout the industry and I think that's something that's been long overdue and hugely exciting. We (the SMIA) spent 18 months developing the format for it in the hope of delivering a credible and progressive prize for music (and art) in Scotland and I'm confident the level of industry-wide consultation and engagement we undertook has given us something with real potential.
"While we obviously have to be careful not to overplay the importance of a music prize, I do think its arrival – and the financial elements of its prize fund – marks a significant milestone in the development of Scotland's music industry. It also sends out a powerful message about just how valued and important music is within Scottish culture."
Some people believe music/the creation of art shouldn't be a competition – how would you respond to that?
Stewart: "It's not a competition: it's a celebration, an opportunity, a platform. The nature of an award is that, ultimately, there has to be a winner but it's lazy and short-sighted to use that as a means of relegating the whole thing to the level of a beauty contest. The albums on the longlist and the shortlist aren't competing against each other, they're being celebrated alongside one another.
"We can offer these albums – all of which are there on merit – a platform from which they can all be championed irrespective of genre, unit sales or label affiliation. I make no apology whatsoever for the fact the SAY Award is focused on promoting these albums specifically and the music industry as a whole. We want, even if it's for a couple of weeks or months, to build a sense of civic pride in the music this nation produces and to press home the message that, if you listen to music on your stereo, on your phone or in your car, then it's your industry too and that you have an invaluable role to play in helping sustain it. Listen to these albums, discuss them online, go to a gig and hear them played live and, yes, seek out a record shop and buy some of them."
Do you think the Scottish music scene gets as much exposure outside Scotland as it deserves?
Stewart: "Scotland has always had a great international reputation from a music point of view, not just for the artists and albums we produce but for our love of music as a nation. That said, I think there's always more that we can do. Personally, I think it comes down to the manner and the tone we choose to take when marketing and promoting ourselves and our music.
"We have an extraordinarily diverse and talented range of artists, musicians and bands in this country and if we can find the means to champion that fact inclusively and eloquently then I firmly believe people outside this country will take even more notice than they are taking already. I'm growing increasingly proud of the music that comes out of Scotland and, to be honest, working on this award has elevated that sense of pride to another level entirely so hopefully this award is doing something right."
- If you're interested (just pretend), here are the 5 albums nominated by The Pop Cop:
Beerjacket – The White Feather Trail
LightGuides – Samba Samba Samba
Mike Nisbet – Vagrant
We – With The Stars As An Audience
We Were Promised Jetpacks – In The Pit Of The Stomach
8 Responses to "Scottish Album of the Year Award – "It's not a competition: it's a celebration, an opportunity, a platform""
Ill Will Says:
Hopefully it's a success and doesn't fall into the same league as whoever did that awful 'Scottish albums of the decade' thing on STV otherwise someone will be handing 20k to Emili Sande!!
Would hope to see Mogwai (within the calendar year?), Jetpacks, Twilight Sad and RM Hubbert all nominated at least.
Ron Says:
Will, it's important that people like Emili Sande ARE included in this kind of thing, to show that this one is not another jobs-for-the-boys indie-rock back-slapping contest… This award looks like the real thing, unlike so many horrific ego/social-club-driven attempts of late, and the inclusion of a few artists who aren't the darlings of the Scot-rock fraternity would only confirm that the selection process has been democratic.
Ill Will Says:
That's true Ron, I would agree with that. It'd be a shame to see it be accused of being a "Pal's Club"
I suppose I meant it would be a shame to see it filled with really duff acts like that. Thankfully we're not in the same position as a few years ago when we had the likes of The Fratelli's, The View, Sandi Thom, K T Tunstall, Paulo Nutini, Amy McDonald… etc all heavily played on UK mainstream radio and charting highly.
Mind you, if it's going to be run along the same lines as the Mercury or Solaris prizes then this shouldn't be a big worry anyway.
Hamish Gibson Says:
Lost interest at public vote. Great that it's finally happening though, hopefully it works out and takes off, just not sure how it can earn the same credibility as peer awards when part of it's just a popularity contest.
Kevin Lynch Says:
I hope you noticed that the public vote is only part of the nomination process, and the judges will still decide the best album. Without any fan input, all transparency goes out the window and accusations of cronyism become rife.
There should really be a Scottish Academy of Music formed from these "industry figures" though. Get on the case, SMIA.
Anonymous Says:
You have to read the rules again. The judges will pick ten albums from the original twenty….supposing they mangage to agree!? The public vote then only serves to sway that list by one place — i.e. the top 'public' vote MUST be in the final top ten, so if that means (not necessarily) displacing one of the ten albums in the judges' original list then that's what happens and it goes into the final bag of judging. That's an interesting shift in things, but won't be phenomenal….i.e. public voting is highly unlikely to create the number one choice.
Anonymous Says:
Fan input has a real rationale, but many fabulous musicians are 'quiet' people who don't have a manic fanbase, so I really think this gives them a reasonable chance, given the broad industry nomination base — i.e. those who hear this all the time but don't have personal gain from the winner.
ally Says:
seen the list – but didn't need to. Cronyism is well and truly in full swing.

An Eye On SightBy Nicholas Garlow, HHS HealthBeatPosted: Thursday, July 28, 2011
About 14 million people ages 12 and older have vision problems. Although 80 percent of these problems can be corrected with glasses, that still leaves a lot of Americans with more serious problems in sight. At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Jinan Saaddine notes eye exams can help to spot issues early, before people notice problems themselves, and preserve sight. ``Usually the early symptoms could be blurry vision, difficulty reading, hard to see the billboard, difficulty driving at night. But the major eye diseases have really no early signs.'' Saaddine says people can protect their sight by not smoking and by exercising and maintaining a healthy weight to reduce the risk of diabetes, which can lead to blindness. Learn more at hhs.gov.

For 15 years, Assemblyman Richard Gottfried has been pressing bills to legalize medical marijuana in New York State. With a newly revamped bill that would have the toughest restrictions in the country and fresh support from state Senator Diana Savino, he's hoping attempt 15 will be a charm.
"Thousands of New Yorkers suffer serious, debilitating, life-threatening illnesses, their lives could be made longer and more tolerable if we allowed the medical use of marijuana as treatment for them under medical supervision," Gottfried says.
One of those New Yorkers is Wanda Hernandez. Facing ongoing health challenges due to her HIV status, Hernandez admits she sometimes runs the risk of lighting up illegally for relief.
"The Compassionate Care Act, as we're calling it, would actually help me with my nutrition," Hernandez says. "For me, a lot of the medications I take are for pain, and they are very toxic."
Doctors on both sides of the debate are split on whether to legalize.
Dr. Howard Grossman, assistant professor at Columbia University, supports the legalization of medical marijuana.
"I think that it is a very useful tool, a very useful drug," he says. "I don't think that we've managed to copy its effects with some of the synthetic things that are out there."
Dr. Paul Rinaldi of St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center thinks otherwise.
"It's hard to know about dosing and what we do know is we need to know about medication and have clinical trials," he said, "With marijuana, the way it is administered, there's really no way to truly know dosage."
Rinaldi adds that the drug also needs to be dispensed in a controlled clinical or pharmacy setting, like others approved by the FDA.
Even with his proposed ease-up on illegal possession laws, Cuomo has said in the past that legalization for medical reasons comes with "tremendous risks," and it will take a lot of evidence to change his perspective.
Gottfried says he would like the debate to continue with a state Assembly vote before the close of the legislative session on June 21. If the state Senate chooses to accept his bill, the vote would not take place until early 2013.

The Final Countdown: PCA advances to title match against district foe
BY Kevin Hageland, firstname.lastname@example.com
Nerves often strike a team that has never been to state before and that was the case Friday afternoon when Prestonwood Christian Academy faced Houston St. Agnes in the TAPPS 5A State Volleyball Semifinals.
"Oh yeah, we were quite nervous in that first game," said Becky O'Neal, Prestonwood head coach. "You could see it all over court."
Those nerves cost the Lady Lions the opening set, but wouldn't cost the team a shot at its first state title in seven years as Prestonwood settled down and plowed past St. Agnes (22-25, 25-14, 25-20, 25-18) for a trip to Saturday's finals.
On the strength of its strong play in the middle, St. Agnes took Game 1, 25-22.
The remainder of the match wasn't as close with the Lady Lions winning three sets and the Lady Tigers playing only one point in the 20s.
"We felt like we were the better team," O'Neal said. "So after that first game we told the girls to calm down and have fun. Being at state is supposed to be fun and a lot of times that gets lost because of all the pressure involved. We kind of just took a deep breath and said, 'we can do this.'"
Leading the Prestonwood comeback was a pair of familiar faces in senior Katie Staiger and junior Ashley Morgan.
"Those two were digging well and swinging well," O'Neal said.
Staiger and Morgan are plenty used to playoff pressure as the former posted the most kills in Tuesday's win over defending state champ Trinity Christian Academy and the latter posted the match-winning termination. Joining those veterans in coming up clutch Friday was freshman Alexa Lehman. Lehman saw heavy rotation at middle blocker due to the absence of junior Catherine Cranston, who was injured in practice Wednesday.
"We already knew that Alexa was a talented kid," O'Neal said, "but she just rocked and rolled for us today; she was amazing."
With offensive firepower leading to the most lopsided score of the match in Game 2, 25-14, Prestonwood leaned on its speed advantage to take Game 3, 25-20.
"We have such an athletic, quick team," O'Neal said. "And when we are running our offense correctly it can make even good teams look bad."
More of the same was on display in Game 4 as St. Agnes' size advantage was counteracted with the trio of Staiger, Morgan and Lehman while Prestonwood's quickness edge remained apparent in a 25-18 win that secured a spot in the state finals for the Lady Lions.
"Of course there were lulls for a couple points here and there," O'Neal said, "but we were really rolling in Games 2, 3 and 4."
Prestonwood still has one more match to win to capture its fourth state title (2003, 2004, 2005) and will have to beat a familiar foe as it faces Bishop Lynch in the TAPPS 5A Finals at 2 p.m. Saturday from Blossom Athletic Center in San Antonio. The Lady Lions and Lady Friars split the TAPPS 1-5A Title and season series with Prestonwood winning the last match on Oct. 18 via sweep.
"We'll be facing a team that wants to win state, but is probably also seeking a little revenge, so it should be an all-out crazy match," O'Neal said. "But I believe in our team. If we keep playing the way we've been playing, I know we can do this."

A Disappointment
By Gemforrest
from Kitchener
I've wanted a tanzanite bangle for a long time so was excited to see this one come up. Unfortunately it is going back. The black plating washes out the stones - you can't even tell that they are tanzanite. The clasp is terrible, it doesn't snap in before you fasten the safety latch, so the safety latch is all you have to rely on. It fell off the first time I tried it on. Price is too high for this poor quality. I'm surprised TSC sells stuff like this.

Francesco Realmuto, the co-founder, is an Italian man with a charming smile. He spent 12 years as a diamond cutter in New York City before deciding to devote his life to making gelato.
In 2006, after six months of training with gelato masters in Italy, he launched L'Arte del Gelato with his partner Salvatore Potestio. The two develop recipes out of their basement laboratory in Chelsea Market.
Gelato is the Italian name for ice cream but it differs in a number of ways from the stuff we grew up on. It's denser, more intense in flavor and, actually, contains less fat than normal ice cream.
Realmuto's flavors are so intense, they wake your senses. Every bite is so concentrated you just get lost in it.
Their secret? Special gelato machines from Northern Italy, simple and fresh ingredients from local markets and high quality milk sourced from Battenkill Creamery in Upstate New York.
Of the 57 rotating flavors, Realmuto will tell you he's proudest of his chocolate gelato, which uses fine French chocolates and took him five years to perfect. His full-bodied and bright olive oil gelato is another great pick. It leaves a film of fruity, delicate, slightly salty oil on your lips. In the summer, it could be paired with fresh seasonal flavors such as peach or strawberry. You'll taste the silkiness in every bite, giving you a whole new outlook on summer.
L'Arte del Gelato has two locations, Chelsea Market and 75 7th Avenue in the West Village. For more dining recommendations visit CHOW.com.

Hailed as the "diamond of the kitchen" by famed gastronome Brillat-Savarin, the fragrant white Alba truffle is perhaps the most precious of all the truffles. They are available only for a limited amount of time each year, depending on the weather in Italy. Order now to enjoy their unique flavor in your favorite dishes this holiday season.
The white truffle grows among the roots of certain hardwood trees. Truffle hunters seek them at night to avoid being followed by competitors who might discover the best collection sites. Although truffle hogs were used to locate the aromatic fungi historically, dogs are the more common modern hunting companion because they can be trained not to eat the truffles once they find them.
This gem of nature is prized for its distinct aroma and intense, earthy flavor. They are only served fresh: sliced, shaved or grated over a finished dish such as pasta, risotto, vegetables or eggs. The heat of the cooked dish is just enough to release the aroma of the truffles, enhancing their natural pungency. The aroma, which is the source of their unique flavor, is lost when the truffles are cooked or over heated. There is no comparable experience to the pungent aroma and flavor of the white truffle, and no more reliable source than D'Artagnan's scrupulous buyers. The season is fleeting and availability dwindles depending on the weather in Italy. So get them while you can!
Storing truffles: Once a fresh truffle is out of the ground, it doesn't keep long. To best preserve your truffle, wrap it in a paper towel, put in an airtight plastic container and set in the refrigerator. Do not clean the truffle until you are ready to use it. Avoid condensation and humidity which can cause rot. If you wish, store the truffle with eggs in the refrigerator to impart its flavor into the eggs. Be sure the shells are perfectly dry. Do not store in dried rice, as the rice dehydrates the truffle.
D'Artagnan also stocks truffle butters and oils, as well as a selection of preserved truffle products, including, including Whole Summer Truffles, Summer Truffle Peelings and Black Truffle Juice.

Karo Syrup
Pecan pie filling is a baked mixture of sugar, eggs,
vanilla, pecans and corn syrup. In the Southern United States, this
classic dessert is also called "Karo Pie."
Karo is a leading brand of liquid sweetener known as corn syrup. It's made from a concentrated solution of dextrose and various types of sugar derived from cornstarch.
Unlike other sweeteners, corn syrup doesn't crystallize when cold, so it's ideal for making cake frostings, fudge and candies. In the oven, corn syrup turns out super-moist baked goods that tend to stay fresh longer than those made with sugar. Used to make everything from jam and popcorn balls to the ever-classic pecan pie, Karo has had a place in American pantries since it was introduced in 1902.
It is believed the chemist who formulated the syrup named it "Karo" in honor of his wife Caroline. Until Karo syrup was produced, the typical American housewife carried her syrup jug to the grocery store to be refilled from the grocer's barrels.Varieties
Karo is available in light or dark varieties. Light is almost clear, mildly sweet and flavored with real vanilla. It's typically used in more delicate recipes like sauces, jams and beverages. Dark has a rich brown color and a molasses-like flavor. Ideal for baked goods like pecan pie, it's also a common ingredient in Asian dishes where it balances sweet and sour flavor profiles.Storage Tips
Before and after opening, Karo may be stored at room temperature indefinitely. Light corn syrup may turn yellow as it ages, but it's still safe to use. Bottles may also be refrigerated, but the syrup will be thicker and harder to pour.Usage Tips
Karo adds sweetness and smooth texture to a wide variety of American dishes. Try it as a simple topping for French toast, pancakes and waffles or mix it with canned or fresh fruit to make a quick topping for ice cream and cakes. Give vegetables a warm, caramelized flavor by brushing with Karo before cooking or grilling. Or combine equal parts corn syrup and apricot preserves to create a delicious glaze for turkey or ham.Substitution Tips
• In general, light and dark corn syrups can be used interchangeably.• An equal amount of Karo syrup can be substituted for honey or molasses in most recipes.
