Last year,
We don’t particularly care much about the Grammys, but we might as well mention a few highlights regarding last night’s nominations. Perhaps the biggest surprise is Arcade Fire have been nominated for Album of the Year, the Grammys’ biggest category, where they’ll square off against Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster, Eminem’s Recovery, Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream, and Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now (one of these things is not like the others). They were also nominated for Best Alternative Album (whatever that means), where they’re up against other (former?) indie stalwarts Vampire Weekend, Band of Horses, the Black Keys, and Broken Bells. Jay-Z grabbed five nods, as did John Legend & the Roots for their collaboration, Wake Up! The Roots also grabbed one on their own for their record How I Got Over. Other notable Grammy nominations include:
The last big American music festival of the year has it’s lineup, and the Austin City Limits festival will be headlined by…The Eagles? Yep, it appears ACL will be headlined October 8-10 by the chillest band of the 1970s, along with Muse and Phish, with The Strokes, M.I.A. and the Flaming Lips taking the second string headliner bill. The rest of the lineup is filled in with big guns including LCD Soundsystem, Spoon, Vampire Weekend, Norah Jones, Band of Horses, Monsters of Folk, The National, and the Mountain Goats and lesser but good guns including The Black Keys, Broken Bells, Yeasayer, Beach House, Matt and Kim, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Girls, Local Natives, Devendra Barnhart, The Morning Benders, and White Rabbits.
