I think they put it on their before it was confirmed and then never took it down when they couldn't make it happen.

Great, great show. I don't think that Maxwell's show happened, though.

The singing on these guys' debut was a little out-of-control for my taste, though "THe Devil's Crayon" was brilliant. But this new album is great, the falsettos just restrained enough...but there's some amazing guitarwork on this album. I love it.

Isn't the most obvious comparison Teenage Fanclub? I mean, the song is "Norman Bleik." Oh those Scandinavians and their puns.

They just didn't nominate it.

But the Wall-E song only plays over the closing credts...

I thought the same thing, that guitar line is very similar. I like the album, fwiw.

It's kinda dumb, and only the drummer seems to be wearing his own clothes, but at least the video seems "directed" and "edited," unlike the wtf "pump yr breaks" clip. i like these guys a lot.

the list this year does seem pretty uninspired... and inaccurate by their own rules. Just a cursory glance, both that Sic Alps track and Cut Copy's "Hearts on Fire" were 2007.

The show lost me in EP2 with this line from the music snob dude: "THis band fucking rocks. Anybody who doesn't like this band doesn't deserve to listen to music."

He was talking about The Kooks.

Please excuse me if this has been nominated, but 1980 musical The Apple is one of the most inexplicable movies ever made. Nothing can really prepare you for it, but the trailer does give you just a taste of what's in store:

I second Dreamcatcher. It's kind of like every Steven King cliche all in one movie. Seriously, you won't believe this movie.

Also: Can't Stop the Music, and The Apple
