Speaking of Celebration, where are they on the Plug Awards official ballot? There is a section at the bottom of the ballot form called “Let us know who you think got overlooked”. Ermm…Celebration, perhaps?!
If you aren’t familiar with Celebration, their boisterous debut cd was released on 4AD in October 2005 (with a 2006 release date for the UK, I believe). You can can hear a few tracks and check out the video for their song War here:

There is a lengthy bio on their MySpace page which is worth reading:
