Thom Yorke's Grammy Commercial Celebrates The Music That Makes Him

Proving the latest batch of NARAS nominees is less a momentary fluke of good taste and more a concerted effort to Matter In 2009, the Grammys are blowing out this year's show with the most self-consciously hip advertising campaign to...

Radiohead, Lil Wayne Nominated For Album Of The Year Grammy

Grammys' Foo Fan Is A Professional Musician

You may think the most timeless story from this year's Grammys was the instant-legend comic gold of rhymery master will.i.am's how-does-he-do-it "Grammy/Slammy/Jammy" flow but -- actually, fuck it you're right.

2008 Grammys Winners List

Breathe a sigh of relief, Christopher Cross.

Should You Watch The Grammys?

It's a dilemma every year. If the lure of a Winehouse-via-satellite performance or Beyoncé/Tina Turner duet doesn't make this a slam dunk for you, Vulture's got a flow chart that'll help you choose. SPOILER: All roads lead to "Don't watch." But getting there's half the fun.

NOTE: Should you decide that, yes, your threshold for depression via a closeup look at an industry applauding itself while it literally self destructs is high enough to actually tune in on Sunday, know that Stereogum will be liveblogging the shitshow. So if you are watching, log on and commiserate with us!

By Golly, Winehouse Won't Play Grammys After All

Amy Winehouse's Visa was denied. Again. So no Grammys for her this Sunday. Is anyone beginning to think that maybe Amy Winehouse is not very dependable? The singer cancelled shows (including gigs with the Rolling Stones, and a headline spot at the V Festival) in August. She cancelled apperances at the VMAs in September and the Woodie Awards in November. She scrapped a European tour in December. How about promoters stop booking her? She's just gonna cancel, and then you'll have to replace her with Rilo Kiley. Psst, Mark Ronson: it was gonna be boring anyway. (UPDATE: Hallejulah, etc.)
