Grammy Nominations Released

Feh.

For me, Best New Artist is probably Nellie McKay. Best albums were hers, and the Zutons, with Sam Philips a close third. I've also liked David Byrne's record ok; the new Robyn Hitchcock, with Gillian Welch & hubby, underwhelmed me at first, but is growing on me. I bought the new Tom Waits record a month ago, and promptly forgot about it, but I imagine there is some good stuff to be discovered when I dig it out of the CD stack. Loretta Lynn's record is a fascinating novelty, and Jill Sobule's new "Underdog Victorious" is growing on me, though I don't think it's as strong as her last one.
