SAMArama

There is usually some contention with the SAMAs and this year seems to be no different: poor production and shoddy hosting seem to be the main complaints; however, putting that aside, we would like to give hearty congrats to all the winners, especially Beatenberg who dominated the awards and won six out of their seven nominations and to aKing who have been praised to be having the most honest (read drunk) rock 'n roll acceptance speech of the night. Well done all!
