Watched about 10-15 minutes of the Grammys on Sunday night and it was a sad and sorry lot of performances and nominees. What does it say about the relevance of "pop"ular music when 2007's show kicks off with 1982's biggest band? Kinda like Prince playing the SuperBowl.

There simply are no more "big" acts (certainly not the fucking Dixie Chicks) and this has the record companies running scared. What to sink your big promo money into when there are no longer any guarantees. Today's Limp Bizkit could be tomorrow's Creed.

And looking at your link to the list of Grammy winners I see that Frampton, Dylan, Tony Bennet, Stevie Wonder, and Madonna are amongst the winners. Are we celebrating 5 decades of music or just 2007?

It's too bad about your experience looking for the Prokofiev. Usually Gregorian is a bit better than the average store in helping you find something. Were you able to pick it up?

As for the 80's gems I do own the 12" version of Nowhere Girl and I'm pretty sure I own Let Me Go. You can certainly hear them tomorrow night.
