Gramy Nominations

Well, the Grammy nominations are out again. It was nice to see The Flaming Lips, Clinic, and Groove Armada get a few nods. Unfortunately the rest is all least common denominator fodder.

Anybody else have any comments about the Grammies? I don't even know why I pay any attention to it, it just angers me. Elvis Costello gets nominated for probably one of his weaker albums, U2 gets nominated if they put out a cover of Brittany Spears songs, and even freaking Brittany Spears was nominated, and it wasn't even for a damn video!

I totally agree with you guys. I have more respect for the Oscars than the music awards, but still...
If you haven't seen it already, you may get a kick out of the movie "Ghost World". It has a funny taste-of-the-'masses' motif.

I just saw a clip on Craig Kilborn, showing Avril Levigne (sp?) mispronounce (David) Bowie when announcing the grammy nominations. The 'ow' as in 'cow' instead of 'sew'. Maybe I am just getting old, but that seems seriously wrong.

How do they pronounce in Canada? She looked as if she had never seen the name before. I stand in the corner anyways.
