RADIOHEAD ON THE ROAD TO GRAMMY DOMINATION

Thursday, December 4, 2008

I'm not a big fan of the Grammys but this year I have someone to root for. Radiohead's In Rainbows snagged 7 nominations. Pretty cool!

They are up against the fabulous Robert Plant/Alison Krauss albumRaising Sand in the Album of the Year Category. It's not often that I'm a fan of two albums in that category. Even Pitchfork called this year's Grammy nominations "surprisingly relevant".

Here is the list of Radiohead related nominations:

* Album of the Year
* Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals for the song "House of Cards"
* Best Rock Song for "House of Cards"
* Best Alternative Music Album (they're up against Evil Urges. Ha! As if!)
* Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package
* Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical (Nigel Godrich)
* Best Short Form Music Video - "House of Cards" directed by James Frost


And, Jonny Greenwood is up for:

* Best Score Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media for There Will be Blood

The Grammys aren't until February 8th but you can check this out while you wait. It's the nominated video for "House of Cards":
