VH1 has an article up on the Pioneer Awards.  Wonder who does the
nominating?  Seems like TheWho.net might rate as a fan site.

Townshend, Aerosmith, Widespread Panic To Play Yahoo! Awards 
By Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen 

Pete Townshend will receive the Online Pioneer
Award and will join Aerosmith, American Hi-Fi and
Widespread Panic as a performer at this year's
Yahoo! Internet Life Online Music Awards, organizers said.

The Who founder's Web site (www.petetownshend.com) features frequent
posts from Townshend and a detailed history of
Townshend and the Who. It also includes image
downloads, and audio downloads from live
shows and unreleased projects. Currently
available are versions of "Behind Blue Eyes" that Townshend said he
found while putting together his third Scoop collection of outtakes and
demos.

David Bowie won last year's Online Pioneer Award (see "David Bowie,
Prince, Aimee Mann Win Yahoo! Awards").

Nominees for the rest of the awards will be announced later this week.
Categories include artist site, fan site, download site and overall
music site.  The awards ceremony will be held September 20 at the
Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.
