I was switching back forth between the awards ceremony and other shows (including the aforementioned Mike Hammer) and eventually gave up on seeing them. They're an indie band, I thought, so what's the best that'll happen to them tonight?<br />Well apparently an award. That's still pretty crazy. It makes you wonder if the academy (as it were) had a big turnover of members: out with the guys who vote for what represents the voice of America and in with a crew that really has a feel for what makes compelling music. <br />Considering the Decemberists went to #1 the first week of their release, do you think they'll be in the running next year?shanleymusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09648245457919063666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27529233.post-52960705975887483822011-02-16T20:41:41.485-05:002011-02-16T20:41:41.485-05:00by the way, "nevermore" is your oldest b...by the way, "nevermore" is your oldest brother.nevermorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633217966190841919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27529233.post-57264486873915409022011-02-16T20:40:48.779-05:002011-02-16T20:40:48.779-05:00Well, when I just learned of the passing of Mr. Sh...Well, when I just learned of the passing of Mr. Shearing, I headed to your blog first. I suppose the computer problem thing, or being a bit overcome, or general life duties have something to do with not seeing a tribute, but I'll look forward to one eventually.<br />On another note, I think Arcade Fire made their statement with their choice of Month of May and megaphones and banging and shouting, along with Ready to Start..."businessmen, they drink my blood..." Perhaps an updated version of Costello/Radio Radio on SNL in a way. Or not. Times change. And we must too, to stay relevant.<br />Cheers,<br />Jnevermorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633217966190841919noreply@blogger.com
