Grammy Time!

Hell must have frozen over because for once i am actually looking forward to the Grammys tonight. they have a good selection of nominees (that actually deserve it), Coldplay, Radiohead, U2, and others are going to perform, and Green Day and a reunited blink-182 (thank GOD!) are going to present. i thought it would be cool for me to predict the winners (of the categories i care about), picking who i think should win and who will win. without further ado...

there you have it. i bet you're asking why i picked Coldplay so much, but if you know me, you know that Viva La Vida was my favorite album of 2008. but i have one problem: Viva La Vida IS NOT a rock album; it should be in the Alternative Album category. anyway, i pride myself in having pretty keen musical taste. but i'm not always right. i'll update this with how right (or wrong) i was after the show.
