One surprising omission, which I'm definitely writing in for Best TV, is Dead Set, the quite brilliant zombies-invade-the-Big-Brother-house mini-series from last October. I know it's not been widely seen outside the UK, but if Who and Torchwood can get nominated (both of which were good but no really stand-out superlative) then Dead Set deserves at least one vote.

Ha! I nominated Dead Set shortly after it aired, but it didn't pull a second nomination, so...not on the ballot. Same for Gatiss' Crooked House, which I also found worthy of nomination. I feel both programs are superior to the DW and Torchwood efforts nominated this year. Ah well, I just hope that both get seen by more folks outside of the UK as they really were remarkably good genre entries, particularly for television.

Don't forget to vote for Wulf & Batsy as the best horror comic of the year!

And here are my Hall of Fame recommendations in case anybody is looking for some:

PAT FIELDER - female screenwriter of many classic 50's horror films
TANDRA QUINN - for creating an indellable 50's era presence in a single low-budget sci-fi horror, one of the last of that era alive
ALAN MOORE - for his incredible run on Swamp Thing, bringing new credibility to the creature
STEPHEN R. BISSETTE - for his horror comics and a lifetime of horror scholarship

My God, what's Bond doing?... I think he's attempting re-entry, sir.

Am I allowed to vote for myself?

I always do. Hey! SOMEbody has to vote for me! Might as well be me.

Quandary time! It seems for each new Rondo vote, I have fewer categories I feel comfortable about voting in. I have a pretty limited batch of magazines, websites, TV shows and dvd's that interest me, so many of the categories are irrelevant to me. Probably my loss, but that's the way it is - I refuse to vote for anything that I haven't touched,read, listened to or watched.

I'm pretty darn sure that Let The Right One In is way better than Cloverfield, but I've seen Cloverfield and not the other, so I must vote for Cloverfield..One category I will vote for that I don't necessarily own will be magazine cover art, but that will be limited to the examples shown on the ballot.

It's tough!

Still fiddling about!

Several more errors found, which I've rectified, but one was a whopper (Thanks JS!). The Ultratumba figure is INVASION OF THE SAUCERMEN, not ANGRY RED PLANET! (I've swapped it but anyone who wants to adjust their ballot...)

Also switched Melies to Flicker Alley from Kino (thanks, Tim), added a Godzilla fan event and a STANLEY DVD Extra I forgot. (I'll let voters who voted in those categories today know about changes).

Anyhow, we SHOULD be fine now...

For all that, many votes coming in. Looks like another great year.

I am certainly going to do a write-in vote for Mark Maddox's cover to LSOH #20. It seems quite foolish to only allow one entry per title. Why not have a Best Art category? Allow the artists to submit their work and be judged and then present the nominees. The Best Cover category includes too many factors that have to be considered from layout to graphic design, and some of the covers have little art to them. I love Mark's cover as it a wonderful homage to the Hammer Era that we love and I was quite surprised that an EC homage was chosen to represent a magazine about Hammer. It would be nice to see art being presented for arts sake and not subject to the foolish one entry per title rule.

My surprise is that a back cover was selected, not a front cover. Last year's LITTLE SHOPPE front covers were exceptional. But, just to note, the issue we are talking about is not devoted to Hammer but to Amicus, so there is a connection to EC, and the EC cover in this regard is relevant.

You could always disqualify yourself from voting for Best Film. There are many categories where I don't vote because I haven't seen/experienced enough contenders. At the very least, there has to be one nominee that I am really passionate about. And, in my own little opinion, when you finally do see Let The Right One In, and the Cloverfield director comes out with his rather unnecessary remake, I think you might just regret your vote.

Thank You For Nominating Cult Radio A-Go-Go! For Our Second Rondo Award Best Audio Website Or Podcast

[-]

Feb 17 09 4:01 AM

We would like to thank everyone once again for voting for us last year where we were honored to receive the prestigious Rondo Award for Best Audio Website or Podcast of 2007. We were especially proud that we were the first internet radio station to receive this award in what was a first time Rondo category. Now, we would like to thank who ever nominated us to be in the running to receive the award for 2008, even if that nomination was given by default because of having won the award for Best Audio Website or Podcast last year.

As everyone knows, we are literally home grown radio & NOT a corporate entity, having grown from the birth of monster fandome in the baby boomer days of TV horror hosts and Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine. We strive to embrace all that is classic horror while spot lighting the best of what is current. In our efforts to do this we will always remain free to listen to and we are the only 24 / 7 internet radio station (not a podcast) that is broadcast live from a database of over 20,000 tracks and a live talk show every Saturday night. In addition to broadcasting talk, reviews, and interviews as Taraco listed, we also air music and old time radio programs that cater to the classic horror genre. This is done 365 days a year.

It has been our priviledge to know & have as guests many Rondo winners, nominees, & members of the CHFB: Frank Dietz, Ted Newsom, Rob Zombie, The Moon-Rays, Don Glut, Larry Blamire, Max Chaney (Drunken Severed Head Blog), Kevin Sean Michaels, Adventures In Space archivists Scott Moon & Bob Ekman, Corpse S Chris (the Horror Host Graveyard Blog), Elvira, Zacherley, Patrick Devaney and " Zombie Hunters: City of the Dead" show, Penny Dreadful, Dr. Gangrene, Ormon Grimsby, Count Gore De Vol, Karlos Borloff, William Winkler, Tom Holland, Brinke Stevens, David J Schow, Fred Olen Ray, Alan Arkush, The Ghastly Ones, Mr. Lobo, Joe Dante, George (the king of the zombies) Romero, Bobby Boris Pickett, Del Howison (Dark Delicacies), Ari Lehman (Friday the 13th), John Stanley, Paul Scrabo, Rich Scrivani, Mark Redfield, Jennifer Rouse, Dan Roebuck and many others.

Win or lose, we thank everyone for your support and want to give our FULL congratulations to ALL of the other Rondo nominees!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I wish I had seen this before I cast my ballot because those two and their run on Swamp Thing constitute one of my favorite comic serieses of all time. The trades are now being collected in hardback, which they deserve in such a big way.

Can I still write them in?

The good Doctor has everything from fiction and non-fiction to some great novelty tunes and humor. Something else for us to look forward to when we fire over the computer.

I Would Like To Lobby As Favorite Horror Host Write In....

[-]

Feb 17 09 7:26 PM

I would like to lobby for as horror host write in.....Doc Zombie of California!

It's really hard for us to stand behind any one single horror host here at CRAGG because we broadcast the Horror Host Radio Network every Saturday. We have worked with several of the best of todays hosts and truly love all of the ones who fully support our station and spend countless hours creating good free CRAGG internet radio for you. However there is one host who doesn't seem to get his fair share of the attention because he toils in the behind the scenes shadows of what is Cult Radio A-Go-Go! Every Saturday night after CRAGG LIVE Doc Zombie brings his Modesto cable access show to CRAGG studios with Halloween Zombie Theater hosting in house and totally live on the internet! Nothing is ever pre produced except the drive-in movie he shows as the segments are ad libbed and put together on the fly with a non existent budget that would shame even ED Wood.

Despite the bare bones approach that resembles the early days of horror host TV many indy horror film producers have given Doc first run rights to web cast their genre films which he airs uncut and uncensored along with the usual classic public domain fare. The show is totally interactive with our live chat and guest web cams. Check him out for your consideration for the Rondo Horror Host vote.

This in no way implies WHO we will vote for as we must remain partial and our vote is a closely guarded secret known only to Taraco.

Just wanted to say that voter turnout has been tremendous...I'm still counting Day One votes so not sure yet how it compares to past years, but it lookslike Rondo -- without flooding the zone yet with links and publicity -- is off to a great start!

	Since it appears that it's a-ok to discuss this, I'm reposting my discussion of having Lux Interior (Erick Lee Purkhiser) for the Hall Of Fame...read on:	-]
(02/05/09 6:54 AM) More My Recent Posts	It's crappy that it takes death to bring a name up for a Rondo-Nom, but I nominate Lux Interior (of The Cramps) to the Hall of Fame. Lux passed away on the morning of February 4th, 2009. He was a monster-kid through and through. He grew up in the Cleveland area, watching Ghoulardi, listening to the Mad Daddy, and helped spawn punk in NYC. He wrote songs like Human Fly, Creature From The Black Leather Lagoon, I Was A Teenage Werewolf, and countless other classics. The Ramones asked him and The Cramps if they could cover Surfin' Bird after The Cramps had been playing it for a year or two. Lux turned 62 in October 2008, so he's part of the generation that many people here belong to. So, can I hear a "Here! Here!" for Lux Interior to the Hall of Fame? (second from the right in the above picture) Ben
