This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

New thoughts, get them while they're hot!

I've posted my thoughts on Bush's appearance on Meet the Press as an update to an older post here.

Quick Verdict : Disappointing.

Some grammy thoughts...

It must be the emphasis they place on catering to the youth crowd, but with 104 categories for awards, with less than a third of that devoted to pop, rock, rap and R&B it seems strange that the entire broadcast version of the Grammies was almost entirely composed of those few fields. There was nearly about four separate sightings of Beyonce, and three of Outkast. And of course there was the usual sentimental slant that highlighted Warren Zevon and Luther Vandross.

So, what's to be said, it was the usual grammy show....

Some wins for personal favorites:

  • Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album
    (Vocal or Instrumental.)

    Buenos Hermanos
    Ibrahim Ferrer
    [Nonesuch Records]


  • -----

  • Best Recording Package (the "ooo! pretty artwork" award)

    Evolve
    Ani DiFranco & Brian Grunert, art directors (Ani DiFranco)
    [Righteous Babe Records]


  • ------

  • Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical
    (An Engineer's Award. (Artists names appear in parenthesis.))

    Hail To The Thief
    Nigel Godrich & Darrell Thorp, engineers (Radiohead)
    [Capitol Records]



  • -----

    The other 90% of the music world
