Yesterday were the Grammys. I heard the news this morning and I thought it was a joke. It's the first time Daft Punk have been awarded an American award.. and a Grammy at that. In fact, two.. TWO GRAMMYS. Here are the awards and nominees:
BEST DANCE RECORDING
Daft Punk, "Harder Better Faster Stronger"
Hot Chip, "Ready For The Floor"
Lady Gaga & Colby O'Donis, "Just Dance"
Madonna, "Give It 2 Me"
Rihanna, "Disturbia"
Sam Sparro, "Black & Gold"
BEST ELECTRONIC/DANCE ALBUM
Brazilian Girls, New York City
Daft Punk, Alive 2007
Cyndi Lauper, Bring Ya To The Brink
Kylie Minogue, X
Moby, Last Night
Robyn
I still can't believe it. I mean, Daft are 100% deserving and everything... but the awards people are a whole year late for the Alive tour CD... and 8 years late for Harder Better Faster Stronger which was released on their 2001 Album 'Discovery'.
Now, Daft, for the love of God... announce a new album. The world needs the next Daft Punk album.
Daft Punk won 2 Grammys?! What???
