Gotta love the Grammies. Every year, right before the show, there's always a bunch of stories proclaiming "wait, they're getting hip now. We swear!" This year it was even more pronounced. "Hey, we nominated Outkast! And Tool! We're Hip, we're now, we're happening!"And then they trot out the evidence proving as such. And then, every year comes around and they always do something to prove that it's still not really hip.

"O Brother, Where Art Thou" is a fine album. It's a good album. It's a heartwarming story, especially considering more people probably bought the CD than saw the movie.

But it's not Record of the Year. No way, no how. In ten years, when people look back on 2001, people aren't gonna say "yeah, it was the year of 'O Brother, Where Art Thou" the way, say, people think of 1991 and think of Nirvana or 1975 and think of the Boss.

They keep trying, but they still never quite get it. And why anybody gives a shit is always beyond me.
