Other nominations? Let’s be thorough, folks.

Pre-Order Scott Miller I Love You All!

Hey paisley fans!! If y’all remember, Scott Miller was working on a new Game Theory record when he passed away unexpectedly in 2013. It would’ve been the first in 20 years. Scott Miller - I Love You All is a project to finish the record, with contributions a lot of Scott’s collaborators and friends. Former members of his bands Game Theory and The Loud Family as well as other players from the paisley underground scene like The Three O’Clock’s Michael Quercio, plus incredible musicians who were admirers of Scott’s work, like Aimee Mann and Peter Buck! 

They’re taking pre-orders through the link, trying to offset recording costs, and all the proceeds from the album will go straight to putting his daughters through college and supporting his family.

Scott Miller may not be a household name, but his death lessens pop

Scott Miller, who has died aged 53, was one of America's most underappreciated songwriters, and a brilliant writer about the music he loved

Scott Miller passed away two years ago today.

So far, the Bangles have enjoyed their share of underground credibility, mainstream success, dirty dish and novelty appeal. Now they want respect. But will they get it? Scans from a December issue of SPIN magazine (click for high res)
