Just a few minutes ago I was minding my own business trying to organize my photos from the past couple of months, when my BritEars perked up to a new Cadillac commercial. They've moved beyond Led Zep tunes to the next closest thing - some of John Squire's riffs from The Stone Roses's Second Coming. If I'm correct, it's the opening bit from "Love Spreads. I think my feelings about that album are pretty similar to many, after the album has had a few years to settle in. It's not a bad album, it's just not a great Stone Roses album. Still, I don't know that I want to hear it used for selling cars. Oh well...I don't think John's doing anything else that's been making him any money, other than maybe selling a few of his prints to some rabid fans.
Other Grammy thoughts and ramblings:
Just because Sting is playing with The Police again doesn't mean he has to dress like he did in 1978.
The Grammys are giving a lifetime achievement award to Maria Callas...whoever she is.
Whoa, it looks like the Flaming Lips won two Grammys this year. The first was for Best Rock Instrumental performance for "The Wizard Turns On..." and the second was Engineered Album, Non-Classical (shared with Dave Fridmann). I think that this is the second time that they've won for Best Rock Instrumental. I'm not sure if this says more about their instrumental pieces or the competition in that category.
