The 82nd Academy Award nominations announced!
The nominations for 82nd Academy Awards were announced this morning! Not really any surprises or shockers here, more of the same from the other award shows we’ve seen. About the only change is seeing 10 movies being nominated instead of 5 for Best Picture. The result of that is seeing movies like District 9, Up and Blind Side being nominated. Avatar and Hurt Locker both scored 9 nominations and that looks like the movies to beat this year. Personally, hoping Avatar wins a lot this year. I’m just glad stupid Glee won’t be ruining this awards show! Read the full list below:

Castevet – Subterranean Chicago, IL
Date: January 20th, 2010
Band Link: www.myspace.com/romancastevet
Less than a year after releasing their Summer Fences EP, Castevet headlined their record release show for The Echo & The Light at Subterranean last weekend. Taking the stage after midnight, the group displayed an explosive combination of indie, emo, punk, and instrumental. It’s almost as if the group single handedly picked the best element from their favorite bands and magically placed them into their songs.
