So, the Grammy nominations...

can i say that i am pleased with mavis staples getting a nod for her work with dylan and am fucking pissed off at the two bit hypocritical fence sitting brad paisley pulling the wool over nashvilles eyes for another year?

I can't believe Dave Matthews is nominated for anything at all.

This slays me. Emphasis mine:

Best Male Rock Vocal Performance
(For a solo vocal performance. Singles or Tracks only.)

New Killer Star
David Bowie
Track from: Reality
[Columbia Records]

Down In The Flood
Bob Dylan
Track from: Masked And Anonymous - Music From The Motion Picture (Various Artists)
[Columbia Records/Sony Music Soundtrax]

If I Could Fall In Love
Lenny Kravitz
[Virgin Records America]

Gravedigger
Dave Matthews
Track from: Some Devil
[RCA Records/Bama Rags]

Return Of Jackie & Judy
Tom Waits
Track from: We're A Happy Family: A Tribute To Ramones (Various Artists)
[DV8/Columbia Records]

I also like how four out of five tracks in the "Best Male Rap Solo Performance" have exhortations for titles ("Lose Yourself", "Pump It Up", "Stand Up", "Get Busy").
