Personally, I'm sitting here feeling very smug about being right in a mini-argument I had this morning about whether Clay Aiken would get nominated for a Grammy.

The compilation album of this year's nominees wouldn't be too bad, I've picked up cut-out copies from the 90s and thought "were these peopleo n the same planet as me?".

What kind of stuff does Headley do solo? Is it broadway tunes?

I wonder if there's a way to eliminate enough variables to figure out how much your death increases your odds of being nominated?

-I want to hear Eric Idle read Charlie & the Chocolate Factory(!)
-Fountains of Wayne (had no idea they'd gotten so big in the mainstream).
So, was Clay not nominated? I'm a little disappointed, I like Clay. I might be the only one.

Heather Headley's solo stuff is largely in the contemporary R&B genre, kind of like mid-90s Toni Braxton in terms of production. She's also ridiculously gorgeous.
Ruben's album is supposed to come out in early 2004. I think he's got a single in circulation right now which is... all right. Too much "I'm sorry", but DAMN IS IT SMOOTH.
(Matt, most of my Juggalo friends also like musicals! We are Juggapussies.)

Seriously, this is one of those years that the Grammys probably had no choice but to skew young... like 1999. I think I'm happy that all the alternative choices in Album of the Year went towards the choice I would've made... i.e. Elephant instead of Hail to the Thief, Justified instead of Stripped, and two hip-hop albums instead of two sentimental favorites (any comination of Zevon & Harrison & Vandross).
Jeez, do I hate "Where is the Love." I don't say this often, but where is "In the Club"?

Didn't there used to be a metal album category? I remember the scandal when Jethro Tull beat out Metallica's And Justice For All...Did they just chuck that and make it alternative when alternative was big?

I think they got rid of metal after Soundgarden won and threw a bitchfit screaming that they weren't metal. Losers.

God, I remember being really excited when U2 won best alternative album for Zooropa and Bono said that it was ludicrous but they'll continue to "fuck with the mainstream." I was like a lil' Jim DeRogatis at 14 I tells ya.
But this year's selections are fairly awesome! At least way more interesting than a Steely Dan renuion.

As for Fountains of Wayne, it looks like the Academy is fitting them in under that malleable "first recording which establishes the public identity of the artist" language.
