Grammy Nominated

[aMillionDreams]

This is great news.  Unfortunately, I doubt they give out this award on the Grammy telecast.

I bet they do.  Beck and Radiohead are nominated in the same category.  I wonder if the boys will be in attendance, that would be strange.  I guess it's fitting that the worst-received album by fans and critics alike is the first one to get them a Grammy nod.

yeah i would think they will probably also.

jim said he will be wearing his cape and straw hat.

it'll be funny to see how they dress. probably something like tuxedos or something.they won't win but nice that they were nominated. (radiohead or f'n death cab which neather i want to win but sometimes it's a popularity contest)

In my fantasy world they would perform a 45 minute version of Cobra at the Grammy's (complete with cape and straw hat, lasvegas!), showing the audience what it's all about and making the likes of Nickelback and Maroon 5 cry and quit music forever.

Then they would win every award, even in the categories where they were not nominated, and use the trophies as hood ornaments.

Im Amazed-Very appropriate. I wish them luck, being nominated is a gift. They are so talented and I love seeing them live. I hope they win!!!

You know, the very first thought that popped into my head, was that I kind of remember them dropping the "Alternative Record" category from the show last year.  I could very easily be wrong.   I hope so.   It just seems like they really trimmed it down last year to make it a better "show" but maybe I'm thinking of the Oscars.

In Rainbows is nominated? That album was on my best of 2007 list! :-/

I am pretty sure In Rainbows will win and they will not be there to pick it up. I'd love for MMJ to appear on the grammies so that my music tastes will somehow be legitimized to my top 40 friends :-)

[pawpaw]

That's WONDERFUL NEWS!!! :D

[TGMC421]

HELL YES!!  Congrats and good luck, boys!!

[TheBri-Man]

It's really crazy how far they have come.

Sadly, Radiohead will win since their album is also up for Album of the year.

Still, a big step in the right direction.

Yeah I think Radiohead will win most categories they're in. When did In Rainbows come out? I think it was 2007, I can't remember.

Well said AMD.  
Congrats to the band but a Grammy?  Ehhhh, doesn't really light my torch.  But as Jim and many a musician has said, everyone hates critics until they say something nice about you.

"The accolades, adulation and respect will come from the masses while industry insiders and record execs massage each others' asses."

BTW...MMJ is the mainstream now and shouldn't be acknowledged as anything but that if we are into labeling.  Album commercials, NYE, heavy rotation on FM Rock Radio.

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

fuck yea they're mainstream.  Good music can't stay down forever!

Sometimes get the feeling that some fans can't acknowledge their large scale commercial success.  Not a bad thing at all

[the sun and moon]

I'm so proud of them :) it's like they're my own children.

[James Jacket]

About time. I'm sticking on Evil Urges to celebrate.

[cmccubbin25]

can you imagine if they let them play live and they broke out One Big Holiday?

chaos would ensue...
