It was the year of the best - wasn't it? The Mel Wire is proud to present the following justly deserved awards:

Editor's Note

1) Please watch the Walrus video.

2) Breaking news: Giles + Feurey attended the Oasis concert last night together in LA. Scary, we know. The last I heard was that they were on the hotdog line while Ryan Adams was playing. Giles/Feurey - proof of life, please!
