Grammy Awards: Robert Plant Wins Some Stuff Or Something
You know how some people say that the Grammys only exist to cater for a smug, greying establishment? Well they're wrong. Last night, the big winner at the Grammys was... oh. Alright, maybe the Grammys do cater for a smug, greying establishment, otherwise
Robert Plant and
Alison Krauss wouldn't have won so many awards for their fiddle-di-dee bluegrass album Raising Sand.
But they did, so congratulations to Robert Plant. We don't know how Robert will celebrate his Grammy win but, from the look of him, we'd assume that it'll involve a moustachioed circus ringmaster holding a whip and a chair.
Grammy Noms: Hey, Some People Still Like Coldplay!
British people, it's time to celebrate - the world's smuggest, dreariest, most interminable music awards show likes our music! Some of the nominations for next year's Grammys have been announced, and British names like
Robert Plant, Adele, Duffy, MIA and
Radiohead are all over them. Now we're not saying that this is because 2008 was a bad year for music, but
Coldplay did get seven nominations, so we suppose in retrospect we are a bit.
And this is just the start - next year the rest of the Grammy nominations are announced, including Best Native American Music Album. Come on Coldplay! Make it eight!
Amy Winehouse Gets A Load Of Grammy Nominations
Personally Amy Winehouse has had a terrible 2007, but professionally? Professionally Amy Winehouse is the new Mary J Blige.
The nominations for next year's Grammy awards have just been announced and, while Kanye West just edges her for the top spot with eight nods, Amy Winehouse has score a very respectable six Grammy nominations. And what must be heartening for Amy Winehouse is that the competition is extraordinarily weak this year, especially in the Most Toothless, Most Bleary, Most Witchlike and Most Supposedly Aggressive Husband categories.
