2012 Grammy Nominations

Justin should bring him out as a guest.

[Miroir Noir]

And I like how you think Paul T watched the awards show and was like ''crap, bon iver needs needs to jump up like 5 more spots cause of each grammy nod''

I don't think that's what did or will happen. All I am saying is that this seems like a tangible crossover moment that reinforces my opinion that I could see Bon Iver playing before the headliner on one of the nights next year.

[suprefan]

If he is going to play at night, let him close Outdoor.

Pumped up Kicks couldnt get the song of the year nomination- how sad :'(

[fatbastard]

Thank God. The song is over.

[Mugwog]

Pumped up Kicks couldnt get the song of the year nomination- how sad :'(

That's surprising considering its either that song or party rock playing out of every fucking car in los angeles with drivers ranging from 16-47. I couldn't believe the guy in a BMW Z/miata convertible blasting that song and trying to look smooth.

Pumped up Kicks couldnt get the song of the year nomination- how sad :'(

i can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

[HunterGather]

Thank God. The song is over.

Yeah, now its all about HELENA BEAT

[HunterGather]

What was weird about Robyn is they nominated her for Body Talk, Part 3, which to the best of my knowledge, was a download-only comp of the remaining tracks from Body Talk (the album I think they intended to nominate) that hadn't previously appeared on Body Talk, Part 1 or Body Talk, Part 2.

Yeah. It might have been because Part 1 (and i think part 2) were already nominated previously.

I dont like the track listing for BODY TALK. I prefer organizing it and keeping all 3 parts seperate.

[TallGuyCM]

Yeah, now its all about HELENA BEAT

I really like that song.

[HunterGather]

That and CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT is good stuff.

[ods..]

NO.

[fatbastard]

That cowboy most likely rides a shetland pony.

[TickleMeElmo]

Pumped up Kicks couldnt get the song of the year nomination- how sad :'(

Nope, they'll just have to settle for a Best Pop Duo/Group Performance nomination.

Memory Tapes got nominated for best music video? That's random.

[fatbastard]

People pull out the standing ovation way to often. It's no longer special.

[HunterGather]

NO.

yes.

[kitt kat]

Thank God. The song is over.

Whenever I am in a public place and that goddamn song comes on, I immediately wish I could pull two machine guns out from under my jacket and just annihilate everyone within a 200 ft radius.

That's how much I hate that fucking song.

[summerkid]

I can't wait to watch Kanye's antics at the Grammys for being snubbed.



Maybe they purposely did it because they KNOW he will do something AND people are going to tune in for it.

yup, if he loses best hip hop album he's going to be pissed, if he wins he might say something about not being nominated for album of the year. I cannot think of last album to have that sort of combination of commercial success and critical acclaim.

[dine with a cannibal]

it's almost an honor to not be nominated.

amen to that brother

[PJandBompton]

this was Kanyes' album to get AOTY...i now strongly believe he'll never get it. fucking shame.

[Spooks]

Wow. It's like a celebration of everything shitty about music.

And for the record, Foo Fighters have stopped trying and have ventured into Nickelback territory, and Foster The People will win alternative album.

Totally agree Boourns. Looking at this list has reminded me what a joke of world we live in. Sad.

People pretend not to care about grammy because they feel the grammys never go to the most deserving artist. This is no different. Just because an overrated indie rock band (Foster the shit or whatever shitty band) win doesn't mean the "right" artist won.

[captncrzy]

Adele is going to win everything she's up for.

[sbessiso]

I hope Kanye loses whatever he's nominated for.

[TomAz]

Mumford & Bruno Mars. Jesus Christ on a stick. The grammy's are just terrible.

I don't know why people think this is a new thing or why it would ever surprise anyone.

To be fair, Pat Benetar is awesome. And "Against the Wind" is a great song.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I mixed a full cast audio drama adaptation of The Mark Of Zorro and it's been nominated for a Grammy for Best Spoken Word!


This is now the second Grammy nominated project I did with Blackstone Publishing, the first being The Maltese Falcon. Excited!

[TomAz]

To be fair, Pat Benetar is awesome. And "Against the Wind" is a great song.

No, no. No. NO!

[suprefan]

I hope Kanye loses whatever he's nominated for.

Robyn won't win her category ya know. I guess it'll even out.
