My usual news sources have failed me!
Jan. 15th, 2007 01:43 amHow is it I'm only finding out now, three days after the announcement was made, that the Pet Shop Boys have been nominated for two - count'em, two - Grammy Awards this year?
(Edit to add: my bad. Seems this was actually announced five weeks ago or so - last week's announcement was the list of who would be performing. Oh, well. I'm still only finding out about the PSB nominations, at least so far as I can recall.)
Best Dance Recording
(For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances. Vocal or Instrumental. Singles or tracks only.)
Best Electronic/Dance Album
(For vocal or instrumental albums. Albums only.)
These would appear to be their sixth and seventh nominations - they were previously nominated for:
(Am I the only one who finds it weird that there's a Grammy for the album package?)
Edited to add: I'm surprised they didn't also get a nod for Best Music Video, for "I'm With Stupid":
In other news, the Toronto Blue Jays signed Lyle Overbay to a four-year, $24 million dollar contract today. Yes, I know non-sports fans' minds are boggling at this, but that's probably a pretty good price for an everyday first baseman, considering that he hit .312 last year with 22 home runs and 92 RBIs, and has the most doubles over the past three seasons of any major league player.
