The Grammys have always been a laugh. I heard that Mariah Carey got 8 nominations :p

[the mongoose]

Are you sure that wasn't the worst album of the year award?:p

Go Chems....although my interest in Push the Button has dropped.....completely.:confused:

[holden]

The Grammys have always been a laugh. I heard that Mariah Carey got 8 nominations :p

Yeah, they're junk, mostly. But at least less mainstream categories like "alternative" or "electronic/dance" usually have someone i can get behind and cheer for, though they usually lose.

Yeah, go Chems, and maybe even LCD Soundsystem (though i thought the album was overhyped and one-paced). Isn't Kraftwerk's album a Live compilation? i mean, they're great, sure, and have been for 20+ years, but isn't there any newer artist with newer material to recognize? The list seems like it was made by reading a Rolling Stone magazine in 1996.

[joethelion]

well - I don't get how Kraftwerk can be listed... as it's not new material in any way, shape or form


and I REALLY liked Daft Punk's album, i still occasionally play it - at least more than LCD Soundsystem's one...

I can't believe Fatboy Slim's was even nominated... damn that was a horrible album.

my votes would go to:

Best Dance Recording
LCD Soundsystem for "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House"


Best Electronic/Dance Album
Human After All (Daft Punk)

Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical
Fever (Adam Freeland Remix)
Adam Freeland, remixer (Sarah Vaughan)

-or-

Mr. Brightside (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Mix)
Jacques Lu Cont, remixer (The Killers)

although... I'd prolly want "Fever" to win over Brightside, as a lot of Jacques lu Cont's remixes kinda sound all the same... and this one sounds just like his remix of "Four to the Floor"

[gambit]

Well, that's the Grammys for you. Clearly, M.I.A. and Out Hud should've been nominated for Best Electronic Album in place of Daft Punk and Fatboy Slim. And while Minimum-Maximum is fantastic, that spot should be reserved for new material.

[Eikman]

go Fatboy!

roflcopter!

[den]

"Let's pick mediocre albums by the only electronic music artists whose names sound familiar and that we kind of recognize!"

[holden]

Well, at least they didn't put Moby's "Hotel" up there. i'm surprised it's not, though :p

[dubman]

human after all... human after all?

hum- WHAT?

[stimpee]

total joke.

[mkb]

Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical
Fever (Adam Freeland Remix)
Adam Freeland, remixer (Sarah Vaughan)


ugh, damn you to hell.

the prospect of jack dangers nominated for a grammy is much more refreshing. and it's for a remix of tower of power!

[Dirty0900]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

[joethelion]

ugh, damn you to hell.

the prospect of jack dangers nominated for a grammy is much more refreshing. and it's for a remix of tower of power!


well - honestly, of the remixes... I've only heard Fever, Flashdance, and Mr Brightside - and of those three - I'd say Fever is the best. I wouldn't vote for someone solely on their name, you know?

[mkb]

Actually, I'd be more likely to vote for the best candidate with a chance of beating Fever. That remix tears my soul out through my ears, just like the rest of that accursed series.

[undarrenworld]

a lot of Jacques lu Cont's remixes kinda sound all the same... and this one sounds just like his remix of "Four to the Floor"

Yes compare Jacques lu Cont`s remixes:

Depeche Mode - A Pain That Im Used To
New Order - Jetstream


Hea actually use New Order sample in DM song...:eek:

Go NO GO:cool:

[undarrenworld]

Deep Dish GO, GO, GO!!!

[djeddy]

the grammys are for people who listen to music with a median IQ of 5.

so like..don't waste your breath man..

[Jafs]

Best Electronic/Dance Album
Human After All (Daft Punk)
Palookaville (Fatboy Slim)

God, please don't help them...

[holden]

Much like the Grammys, Pitchfork media is an entertaining pile-o-poo, useful if only for (a) the American Apparel adverst and (b) lessons in how not to write music reviews. Ah. That's not true always...sometimes they come with truth like this:

Daft Punk's "Technologic":
"Like watching an ambulance crash into a garbage truck."

[bavarianbeer]

Man, foo, I dig "Guilt is a Useless Emotion." Too bad it took them so f'n long to release it as a single. I think it should have been out first.
