In case you still care about the most painful awards ceremony in the world for an indie aficionado to watch, the Grammys have been awarded for 2007. Amy Winehouse and Kanye West were the ceremony's darlings (the former robbing Feist of awards that should have been hers) on a night where good music took a back seat to grandstanding, bombast, and image.
Okay, okay, I'll lay off the indie schtick for a second. Some awards were well deserved. Mr West clearly deserved every award he earned. Herbie Hancock's receiving Album of the Year for that Joni Mitchell thing is a proper - if not slightly predictable - nod to seniority. The White Stripes were rightly honoured for the excellent Icky Thump, a record that was on our top ten for 2007 here at Never Learned to Swim. Justin Timberlake was snubbed for Record of the Year (in favour of Ms Winehouse), but enjoyed success elsewhere (including stripping Justice of the Best Dance Recording award).
