  10. I’m nominating Pauli Fuller for best r&b, hip hop, solo, album. So many categories it’s not even funny. The man just put 90 hours a week for a month and a half in to this album with the producer Kwik Keys, and it definitely shows, I’m impressed. Probly some of the best lyrics on a hip hop / r&b album i’ve ever heard. Every song has topic, no nonsense tracks. There is even acoustic songs that resemble a soulful type everlast type music. Plus the kid has a rap voice that’ll knock you out of your seat. The album as a whole tells a pretty good story. Go pick it up. Good job Pauli!!! some of his music is on myspace.com/paulifullermusic

    A Fan!!!

  14. DJ Big Phyll is Worcester’s best club DJ! He plays everything! House, hip hop, techno, rock, freestyle, brazilian house, jazz, r&b, and more! He’s been rockin parties in NYC, and Japan for years. And he’s a traditional DJ…he uses vinyl turntables! He’s also a really cool dude. Check out his myspace.

    Comment by Buttercup — February 7, 2008 @ 6:30 pm

  22. I nominate Chad Burdick for best Country Act in the 2008 Worcester Music Awards. Chad Burdick should win for a few reasons. He is not only a class act, but a very hard worker who is dedicated to his music and his family. I do not know a better person for this award. Chad Burdick has my unconditional support!

  54. I never even heard of half these so-called “hip hop” acts. You’re not the best in Worcester just because you have a myspace account. Try Playing more than two shows a year and you can claim stuff

    Comment by Tara — February 21, 2008 @ 5:32 pm

  55. A first off I must be winning your boyfriend in votes. Don’t hate.
    Now Mr. Tara the reason why you haven’t heard of us cause you don’t know hip hop. Just cause you got cool and purchased a Kanye C.D don’t mean your hip hopper baby. Get it right! Now heres my resuma
    Worcester. The first out of Worcester to perform on the Appollo Theater. Also opening act for the Mayor’s of Boston at first night, and Las Vegas. I also was a producer off Jive Zomba Records. Made it through the doors of Bad Boy Ent but my brother and I rejected a deal we got offered. Interned at Virgin Records in L.A.
    Featured on a couple low budget films. Produced a underground song for a top 40 artist John Doe featuring N.O.R.E tittle ” you don’t believe me “. Released 6 my own L.P’s Cugie. Put on half of Worcester on to the hip hop since the early 90’s. So if some one does win it don’t mean your the best. Nigga you local. We known C.A, N.Y, London, Van Couver Canada, New England, Las Vegas, Florida thanks to my boy FIRE. So Tara Bite your toung before speaking. Stop wacthing BET to learn about my and are cultuer. HIPHOP. I speak for all of us. If you ain’t heard of us you ain’t from hear,
    READ TARA, WORCESTER MUSIC AWARDS.

  69. I think Chad Burdick should win, hands down, he is a tough act to follow, I love him….Saw him at Fall River Celebrates America and thought he was better than some of the groups, that were in mags.
    He has heart, soul and voice. all that’s needed to be a winner.
    Good luck, Chad, we’re all rooting for you.
    Love, a fan forever
    Rita

    Comment by Rita — February 29, 2008 @ 7:06 pm

  70. I’m surprised by the lack of some nominees. No “Jediah”? No “Carmelita”. I wouldn’t probably know even some of these bands without her show. She’s the only Boston DJ that I know that plays/promotes Worcester shows every week on the air. Do Toucher and Rich even know how to get to Worcester? haha.

    Comment by Frank — February 29, 2008 @ 7:51 pm

  71. This whole award thing is rigged through people you know. I never heard of any of these artist they suck and your still local here are the real best in WORCESTER E.C.D, Cugie Fezan, K.B.K, Full Clip,
    L da head, Str8 up, New Era, Tacoma Ent. The pioneers and who is not just local and i’m sure all my peoples including PAULLY know that. Hands down that . We won .

    Comment by Joe Black — March 1, 2008 @ 2:29 am

  72. Best of of luck to all those nominated. Looks like the Pulse is opening itself up to a whole new slew of performers and musical styles which is nice. Although I haven’t heard of 3/4 of these nominees, I guess I should get out more. Now I’m curious, can you still win an award if you play in your parent’s garage? Just joshing.

    Vote for Soulstice, Humblebee and Craig and dont’ forget Roger Lavallee for Lifetime Achievment.

    Comment by DC — March 1, 2008 @ 9:13 am

  73. Whats up everyone make sure you vote for DJ SOUP and the Irish Times/Rehab the biggest duo in the Nightlife in Worcester Ma.

    Comment by Father Guy — March 3, 2008 @ 12:24 pm

  79. Lets have Kwik Keys win he’s the hardest hottest sexy man putting tracks out there. He has invested time money and he deserves it a bunch and plus i already have a BANGING outfit picked out for that night. :)

    Comment by nicole — March 3, 2008 @ 12:32 pm

  80. In the country / americana category the Lincoln County band should win. They’ve been around for 20 years and have a huge reputation.

    Comment by jeff davis — March 3, 2008 @ 12:36 pm

  81. The Lucky Dog is the absolute BEST live venue!

    Clear The Way is the BEST Live act!

    And BEST tribute bands are Gilmour’s Breakfast (Pink Floyd Tribute) and Kashmir (Led Zeppelin Tribute) They also deserve a mention!

    And best sound man Is Pete Degraaf from The Lucky Dog! He also deserves a mention!

  88. make that up and coming act not best live rap act, my bad

    Comment by greg b — March 3, 2008 @ 11:24 pm

  89. Mainly to Richard: I think it’s important to remember that this is a “People’s Choice” type of awards. This translates to “popularity contest” or who can get the most people to go to a website for them. Therefore you pretty much have to promote like crazy to get yourself in there. It’s important to separate this set of awards from the Turtle Boys, where nominations come from club owners etc….

    Comment by Amanda — March 4, 2008 @ 7:51 am

  90. 40 shows in 07.. many more to come in 08… have a great time.
    boogie-woogie, downhome, living fun, Check us out at a venue near you. Thank you for the nod . BOOTHILL EXPRESS..

    Comment by gbrun — March 4, 2008 @ 12:04 pm

    Comment by Kelly — March 4, 2008 @ 6:47 pm

  93. “It’s important to separate this set of awards from the Turtle Boys, where nominations come from club owners etc…”

    Totally agree with this statement!!!!

    I am guilty of trying to “stuff” the ballot box myself (and succeeded, I won a WMA Award in 06 and at the time I don’t think I really deserved it) but let’s just say my relationship with Pulse Magazine isn’t the greatest, however, I still am happy for those folks busting their humps in Fitchburg/Gardner/Leominster who nobody really has heard of here in Wormtowm. It’s a testatment to how Pulse has a slew of advertisers in those areas and I think in way is catering to that market. On the other hand I do feel a few bands here were slighted, but hey. You can’t win a Grammay every year (yeah, that’s sarcasm).

    That being said I do find it kind of funny how a majority of these bands doesn’t even gig out regularily.

    If you do vote, please don’t forget some friends of mine (who DO reguarily gig out):

    Craig
    Soulstice
    Melissa Gates
    Craig
    Trebek
    12 Step Program

  98. I recently heard Shot In the Dark play at a club in Leominster,
    I’m voting for Lee Vee (Lee Villeneuve) and her band Shot in the Dark,

  109. Have you heard Caitlyn Sargent?  Please check her out and you’ll be glad you did.

    She truly deserves to be voted as the best female vocalist!  She sings with such emotion and love of what she’s doing.

    You can hear Cait sing with her group “Fergus”, at ”Fiddler’s Green Pub” on Temple Street, (AOH)!

    Fabulous!!

  112. OK. Let’s look at reality-real talent, not popularity. Jon Short. Come on. Go see him. If you haven’t you have no right to vote. Best Blues Ever.
    Amanda Lirange-writes her own songs. That’s talent. Be real, isn’t that what it’s all about? Vocals and
    Paul Fuller- He has his own style and grace. Pure talent (but not as sexy as Amanda Lirange). He deserves to be recognized.
    Best Live Venue- The Lucky Dog- Eric has given so much to live music in Worcester how could you vote otherwise?

    Comment by Gail marie — March 13, 2008 @ 11:36 pm

  113. One man I’d like to recognize is my boy Kwik Keys. He’s up for best Club DJ and he’s is a mad good dj but what the pulse needs to add next year is a category for Music Productions. The man produced Pauli Fuller’s Entire album and is a big part of where the sound comes from. So check him out. myspace.com/kwikkeys and vote for the kid. Half the time in a week goes into music production in the life of Kwik keys. Pure talent.

The man been spinning in the clubs in this city since 2000, starting at club marque. And HE’s the man BEhind PAuli Fullers album. The producer, engineer, and co-songwriter. Give it up to the man

    Comment by Anez — March 18, 2008 @ 5:21 pm

  126. I’m glad to see people are voting, well I was at first but it seems to me like the same few people are wirting over and over again just using a different name. Plus it seems to be becoming more of a who can get there friends to write on this board thing and front on some old I like a group or a persom or even a place. After reading at least 30 of these I’m not sure if the Pulse is a reliable source of information when it comes to where to go or who is the best act to see. I do like some of the places and I do like some of the artists, but after seeing the way this is going I am in the same place I was before I started reading. Thanks

  127. A lot of hard work for about ten years, Spinning from here to boston, landed me my nomination. From working the source to working landsdown. All you other d.j.’s can step off with your c.d.’s and computer programs. VINAL IS HIP HOP. Don’t forget that all you C.d. and program players. I AM HIP HOP. Produced Pauli Fullers album, vote forhim. How come everything i do wins awards

    Comment by kwikkeys — March 19, 2008 @ 9:34 am

  139. In the Country / Americana category. The ability to last for 20 years and still be performing on a regular basis should count for
    a lot. The Lincoln County Band, deserve to win.
