    Wow, Porcupine Tree gets a Grammy nomination!
    I thought some of you were getting too mainstream in your old age :)

    Yeah, and I'm sure it's richly deserved too.

    Nice job on the Holiday comp by the way. Need to check out those Caribou and Blanche ceedees. And the new pj is starting to get under my skin. Heard part of an interview with her last Friday on Left of Center, a Sirius indie/alt station. I could listen to her talk for hours on end and never grow weary.

    Must've been worried about maintaining your spectacular aura, eh?

    O.K. I'm busted. That's not what my original post said, but I went back and changed it.

    That's FUCKED up.

    Is that better? :)

    Hehehe, they should've had Porcupine Tree play the Superbowl instead of those geriatric and crusty old Heartbreakers that Petty drags around. Now that would be insanely fucked up!

    You guys are so badass. :devil:

    Wasn't In Absentia nominated for a Grammy in some obscure multi-channel category too?
    Wonder if they'll get mentioned at all during the broadcast?

    Just for the record, I'd like it noted that the lady in the Geddy Lee shirt with the strange aura about her is the one that started the improper exchange. I'm normally much more polite with my language, as I'm sure all here will attest to.

    "Wow, Porcupine Tree gets a Grammy nomination!"

    Well, I still like them anyway.

    Lol, yeah, does this mean they've officially "sold out"?

    Would they have to extend the half-time show to an hour so PT could squeeze in three songs?

    Thanks. Always fun to put one of these together, except for the burn problems this year. Ugh. The new PJ does seem to get a lot of love from many of the critics, not so much from fans. I never used to like Desire as much as I do now either, but these days I probably like her more for the lyrics than the music. Just saw that Uncut put White Chalk in their top 3 of 2007 ... but the Feist record is actually the only other one I have in their top 20. I've been mostly wandering the alleys and side streets this year, I guess ...

    20 Bruce Springsteen - Magic
    19 Feist - The Reminder
    18 Voice of the Seven Woods - Voice of the Seven Woods
    17 Super Furry Animals - Hey Venus!
    16 Grinderman - Grinderman
    15 Panda Bear - Person Pitch
    14 M.I.A. - Kala
    13 Neil Young - Chrome Dreams II
    12 Battles - Mirrored
    11 Björk - Volta
    10 Klaxons - Myths Of The Near Future
    09 Radiohead - In Rainbows
    08 The White Stripes - Icky Thump
    07 The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America
    06 Robert Wyatt - Comicopera
    05 Wilco - Sky Blue Sky
    04 Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
    03 PJ Harvey - White Chalk
    02 Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
    01 LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

    Wow. Arctic Monkeys at number two. I think it's a good album but I didn't think it was that good.

    Like any other list we all could question the placement of certain albums, and this one certainly has some Rolling Stone-like characteristics, but I'm not sweatin' it too much. I've seen alot worse...

    I guess I could still like them if they became popular, but...

    it just wouldn't be the same.
