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

Notes on Grammy Nods

As audacious and unnecessary as it seems to have a prime time special for an awards show that is merely about the nominees and not the awards show itself, the nominees for the 51st annual Grammy awards were unveiled last night. A complete list of all nominees can be found here, here. In the four major categories — album, record, song of the year and best new artist — the big winners look to be British rockers Coldplay, who earned a spot in each accept best new artist. Viva la Vida or D

51st Annual Grammy Nominations, comedy-related

For the 51st annual Grammy Awards, the Recording Academy went with a live, primetime announcement/mini-concert. But you want to know who got nominated, don't you? While putting American Idol's star judge Simon Cowell up for Record of the Year (he produced "Bleeding Love" for Leona Lewis along with Clive Davis and Ryan "Alias" Tedder) certainly contains some comedic value because you wonder if he'll show up in a tight black V-neck or a tight black tuxedo, we do have some other actual comedy hono

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

grammy awards

man. I cannot believe how much the Grammies stink. How can anyone take these nominees seriously as a group?here is the lista few thoughts:it is sad to think Coldplay is good enough for that many nominations for a average, slightly better than mediocre album.at least Radiohead is up for album of year. When Coldplay beats them it will be a travesty to think of the mediocre little brother beating the superior big brother because he makes pablum that is acceptable to the masses while the older broth

Tepid Top Ten?

Last.fm packaged up some year-end “best of 2008″ content based on user and subscriber data. I jumped right to the “tracks” list to see if any surprises crept in. Not exactly, but I was saddened and surprised to see Coldplay edge out Radiohead in sheer volume. That’s kind of like Badfinger edging out the Beatles.

You Can’t Stop Me. Really. You Can’t.

It’s really easy to knock this guy.  But truth be told that’s like shooting fish in the barrel.  And quite frankly, unloading rounds on unsuspecting fishies is unfair in my books. Plus, what’s really to hate about the dude?  Name ONE rapper that knows who the fuck Hedi Slimane is, can wrap off Radiohead albums, and has revolutionized rap fashion releasing it from the the throes of over-sized jeans, tall tees and fucking Toucan Sam embroidered Nascar jackets? There’s something quite endearin

R u afraid of clowns?

A lot of ppl are apparently afraid of clowns. I think that’s a sillie thing 2 b afraid of. If ur parents truly loved u, then they took you to the circus at least once a year. The truth is, there are more important things 2 b afraid of. U must confront these fears. U r not ready 4 ‘the real world’ until u confront important stuff.
