Good news for people who love bad award shows

So the Grammys where announced. Like the Oscars, that's no excuse for an award show - the categories are meaningless and the selections pandering. BUT, something happened this year that I think few people expected. Ever.

Yep, Modest Mouse snagged some nominations.

Float On was nominated for "Best Rock Song" and "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" was nominated as "Best Alternative Music" album. They have stiff competition for "best alt album" from Bjork, Wilco and Franz Ferdinand and in best rock song they're going up against the likes of Green Day, U2 and Velvet Revolver. Unlikely that they'll win, but still, it's nice. I never expected the band who sung about eating snowflakes on paper plates to get this far. Craziness.
