Flight 789: A Platinum Vinyl Update

It is time for another Platinum Vinyl Awards Update. Things are finally starting to look like they are in order here at Night Beat HQ. We are at the convergence of three #PlatVnyl eligibility years. Hence Flight 789. 
  • #PlatVnyl7 - Way overdue. Eligibility for this year ended September 30, 2016 with the awards ceremony supposed to take place around May 2017. Judging is just about finished. Video Awards (+General Field Section): 100% Completed; Song Awards (+General Field Section): 100% Completed; Album Awards (+General Field Section): 11% Completed; General Field Awards: 25% Completed
  • #PlatVnyl8 - Eligibility Year (Current): Ends September 30, 2017. Reviews are currently up to date. September Rewind and 4th Quarter Wrap should be completed in early October.
  • #PlatVnyl9 - Breathing down our necks. Eligibility Year begins October 1, 2017 and lasts until September 30, 2018. Early indications point to a blockbuster year as we drive toward #10.
That concludes our update. All things point forward to a #PlatVnyl7 Awards ceremony in early October. Time to get back to the judging. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: Speak To Me

Welcome Back to Music Video Monday. We have been on an irregular schedule these days, but we are slowly getting regular. The best way to do these things is one day at a time.

We begin with a Lyric Video from Ashes Remain. They will be kicking off #PlatVnyl9 with the release of Let The Night In on October 27. This is RISE.
You RISE in the Morning, when there is Lights. Val is back with Skin and Earth, and she  took the Kevin Max route by combining a Graphic Novel with an Album in a concept album. I have been posting the videos as I find them. This is New Fears. Skin and Earth dropped last Friday. Go get it.
And finally, our favorite goth girl is back.  Amy Lee (aka Evanescence) is coming out of retirement once again. While the band will be back for a best of String sessions entitled Synthesis this November, Amy has been busy on her own. The video is Speak To Me, and it is the end title sequence song for the movie Voice From The Stone. Now the Movie was back in April, and it was the end of the movie, but if anyone left the theater while Amy was singing, I just don't want to know you. You just have no music appreciation. Check it out.
That's the end of this edition of Music Video Monday. One step at a time. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
