It's the Monday morning after the 2010 Boston Music Awards, and we're still stuck on the 5th floor of the Liberty Hotel waiting for an elevator to take us back down to the lobby. As we frantically press the button ("it's lit, it's lit, here it comes! ...oh.") and debate going all parkour off the balcony down to the escalators below, here's some front-row phlipcam action of DOM performing their explosive party anthem "Living In America," about a half hour before it was named the BMA's "Song of the Year." More thoughts to come later in the day as the hangover fades, but here's the list of all the winners. Great times, indeed, and props to the city of Boston for having such a rad scene and music community.
