One year I actually hosted a Grammy party, under the assumption that if I paid attention to them I'd see that they were not, in fact, little statues for who sold the most records at walmart.

Never again. Any grammy award they deliver during the ceremony is an album I hereby swear not to buy.

Daft Punk is up for best dance recording, as is Hot Chip. My girl Kylie is up for best electronic/dance album.

I've always had a thing for Disturbed.

just because it's popular, doesn't mean it's bad.

True, but that also necessarily means that the correlary is true.

So why do you care one way or the other if something has a grammy nomination (or win)?

Why not? It is the music industry, after all.
