:: About the BotM ::
Each month, the members
of LemDart's Lounge nominate and vote for a favorite flavor of the
month. Artists, groups and composers have been awarded the BotM, which
dates back to March 2003. The monthly award is a way to share a new
favorite band and pay tribute to an old favorite.
:: Current BotM ::
Working at infoGROUP and the World-Herald, I am lucky enough to work with a diverse group. One of my coworkers grew up in Chicago, went to school in Oregon and was a hippie in San Francisco. He is the one that turned me on to Dodgy, a British pop band from the 90s. Although their song "Staying Out for the Summer" would have fit for a June BotM, I chose "So Let Me Go Far" for it's riffs and guitar solo.:: BotM History ::
