Grammy nominations announced: Amy Winehouse, Feist, Arcade Fire, Justice, LCD Soundsystem, Lily Allen, Bjork....

Feist=New Artist/WTF?

yeah that makes no sense

Depeche Mode won Best New Artist for "Violator" and REM for "Out of Time" (or whatever it was called), neither of which was even remotely close to being their first album, so Feist is not suprising. Remember: it's not "new" to music or releasing album, it's "new to the charts" or sales or whatever. Anyway, you don't want to win BNA on your first album lest you end up like 'Til Tuesday.

I'm miffed Spoon didn't receive any nominations; they were submitted in four categories.

Ubiquitous Penis Holes!!!11!

there are so many "instrumental" categories...i'm really surprised that explosions in the sky wouldn't be nominated. its cool that more "indie" bands are getting attention though. i wonder who is making the nods though because its certainly not the critics (shit like daughtry nominated).

Dude Daughtry fucking ROCKS. How could you say such a thing?

who takes the Grammys seriously anyway? Enough said with all those nominations Amy Winehouse received

the grammys serve as a method of telling the unimformed music buyer what to go to wally-world and spend their 10$ on, which has been known for a while now. hence in shows (especialy the simpsons) it being a paperweight and jokes of the like.

it was a one eyed, one horn, flying purple people eater.

how the FUCK is plain white tees "Hey There Delilah" nominated as Best Song of the year? It was on their album that was released January 25, 2005. Almost 3 years ago. Music is retarded.

amy looks so fierce on the cover of the post. I want a piece of that

Song Of The Year - (A Songwriter(s) Award. A song is eligible if it was first released or ___if it first achieved prominence during the Eligibility Year.___ (Artist names appear in parentheses.) Singles or Tracks only.)

but it was the feel good hit of the summer

I actually think Amy's album maybe the best one of those nominated for best album, but that's besides the point that they only nominated her for so many things to get people talking.

what about Bloc Party?

ALBUM OF THE YEAR BABY!

Radiohead? wtf

hmmm paramore?
best new artist.

good for them.
they arent even legal yet.

Oh hey, Menomena got nominated for a grammy.

Good for them.

Can this officially put an end to any of these bands being called "indie" can we just put a stake through that words heart.

"Radiohead? wtf"

uh, lets see, their album was released on the internet a couple months ago and won't be released in stores until next year. they're not even eligible fucktard.
