Grammys? What Grammys? On Saturday night, February 10, the 2007 PLUG Awards were announced at a star-studded event at Irving Plaza in New York City. Band of Horses took home the most PLUGs-- for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Americana Album of the Year-- while the late J Dilla was named Artist of the Year and Record Producer of the Year. Sufjan Stevens and Neko Case were voted Male and Female Artists of the Year, respectively, for the second year in a row, Arctic Monkeys were deemed New Artist of the Year, and some site called Pitchforkmedia.com won Music Website of the Year. (Aww, thanks, you guys!)

David Cross hosted the evening, which featured performances from Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Deerhoof, Tokyo Police Club, El-P, and Silversun Pickups. Malkmus also received the 2007 PLUG Impact Award (sort of their version of the Lifetime Achievement Grammy).
