Adding Transparency: A Night at the Grammys Leads to a Revelation (Or My Grammy Moment)

So Celine Dion did not tack her new single onto the end of "At Seventeen" and rumors of Prince joining the Time at the Grammy afterparty at Club Nokia did not come true. All in all, Grammy nominations night was a pleasant exercise - a decent show, a good party and a fabulous museum to explore. Story about the nominations is here. I had seen the museum before the artifacts were in place - vast majority of the displays were up and running - and it is a considerably different experience than wh

Grammys, nod

In the Grammy Awards ongoing quest to be cool, hip and diverse, it dropped the stilted morning talk show nomination recitation this year in favor of a televised concert to get the word out — in prime time. But the word's not all that good. Did you get a look at the nominations? Not particularly inspiring. The Jonas Brothers for Best New Artist? Coldplay's bloated "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" for Best Album? Sara Bareilles "Love Song" for Song of the Year? Geh. Sure signs

Grammys seek new life in downtown L.A.

The Grammy Museum will open downtown this weekend, but on Wednesday night the venerable awards brand was trying to prove it's no relic in this "American Idol" era. The nominations for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards were announced Wednesday not at some early-morning news conference -- as they have been in the past -- but sprinkled in a one-hour prime-time special featuring performances by Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and other stars singing classic songs at the Nokia Theatre. It was a move that c

Lil Wayne licks Grammy competition

Never mind that Coldplay’s new album is the Brit-pop band’s weakest effort yet. Or that rapper Lil Wayne is a better salesman than musician. Or that the Jonas Brothers pen power-pop like third-graders fill in Mad Libs. They are all smart, swaggering and popular, style-over-substance qualities that helped them Wednesday when nominations were announced for the 51st annual Grammy Awards. Lil Wayne led the pack with eight nominations. His 2008 album, "Tha Carter III," sold more than a million copi

Lil Wayne, Coldplay lead Grammy nominees

Give them this: It wasn’t the same-old same-old at the nationally broadcast Grammy nominations Wednesday. New faces and fresh voices dominated, led by the bullfrog rasp of New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne, who piled up eight nominations, including album of the year. He was followed by Coldplay with seven nominations, and six each for R&B singer Ne-Yo, and rappers Jay-Z and Kayne West. Radiohead nailed five nominations, even though they initially released their 3-million-selling 2007 al

It’s coming… can you feel it…?

The 2009 movie awards season is about to begin! You may have smelled rain last week, when nominees were announced for the Satellite Awards. Of course, you’re more likely thinking, “Satellite Awards? Since when did NASA get a vote?” but it’s easy to miss the first harbinger of a storm. Maybe this morning you heard the far-off rumble of thunder, when the the Spirit Awards dropped their nominees. (Roommate Joe certainly heard it.) But tomorrow? Tomorrow, the rain starts to fall. Tomorrow the

Phil Hansen Tapped for Grammy Artwork

Self-taught artist Phil Hansen is all about the process. He used a tricycle to paint a giant portrait of Lance Armstrong and parted with a quart of his own blood to depict the grinning visage of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il on a canvas of 6,000 Band-Aids. He painstakingly rendered the likeness of Jimi Hendrix in matchsticks, before lighting the piece on fire in a nod to Hendrix's fondness for guitar burning. And so when the Grammys came calling, Hansen was ready. He has created the officia

Kiss of Fame

Iconic rock band Kiss got the kiss off from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and they are none too pleased about it. The band released their first album in 1974 and easily fulfill the requirement of 25 years since an artist’s debut for nomination. However, the rockers are nowhere to be seen on the ballot. Gene Simmons said “There are disco bands, rap bands, Yiddish folk song bands in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but not Kiss. I believe we have more gold records in America than any other grou

RIP Odetta

The fine folks over at the 9513 drew my attention to some good stuff this AM. LaundroMatinee has several videos from a Joe Pug live performance, including the unreleased songs “Not So Sure” and “Bury Me Far From My Uniform,” and there’s a video for “Old Enough,” a new bluegrass-inspired single by the The Raconteurs featuring Ricky Skaggs, Ashley Monroe and Twang Nation friend Mark Watrous on fiddle.
