For the record that's Pavement "Stereo" and that my friends is why these are the coolest kids ever and I can only hope that my kids will have one tenth the coolness of these indie rock hipsters.
Rave On This Christmas
After the last post, we thought that we should spread some holiday cheer, so from Airbag Radio to you, here is a free download of "Come On Santa" by the one and only, The Raveonettes! Enjoy! And if you like what you here there is whole EP of Christmas joy from The Raveonettes available to you on iTunes.
Grammys For Sale
So the Grammy award nominations are out and blah-dee-blah-da-blah, they are total shit again, as they are every year. Why am I the least bit surprised by this? I don't know, I guess it's because it's been 365 days since the last time such an underwhelming list of non-artists was announced.
Good news, Radiohead did get a couple of nods, including one for album of the year. Bad news, Grammy awards are voted on by folks at record labels, and Radiohead isn't on a label. So, I am sure that In Rainbows will be losing out to Coldplay's Viva La Vida, the official "Mom On Her Way To Starbucks Cruising In The Range Rover" album of the year.
Also as equally mind-numbing as the nominations is the number of categories. 110. Multiply that by 5 nominations per category and that's 550 nominations. Now, there may be 550 artists worth nomination out there, but only about 6 of them made the list. The rest of the selections look like they could be a free compilation album that you'd get with your copy of Us Weekly.
Now as much as I am ranting right now, I will probably tune in to watch the Grammys as I do every year and thank God for the fact that He saved me from listening to this horrendous music and pray that He will bestow the same grace upon the rest of America.
By the way, if it seems like I am overreacting, consider this: The Jonas Brothers are nominated for Best New Artist. Need I say more?
