Since I’ve been swamped all week with finals work, Max filled me in at lunch today about how some of our favorite bands are up for Grammy nominations this year! You would think that this might irk me a little bit because this would mean that my favorite music is becoming more mainstream if it is being recognized by an award show like this, but strangely I feel the opposite. Do you know how long it has taken for indie music to get to this point? For as long as I’ve known, they have always been shoved into another category – that maybe they just weren’t good enough or something, but now they are up against mainstream acts like Katy Perry, Adele, and Maroon 5. It’s going to be a tough fight, but I’ve got hope for them.

Congratulations to: Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons, Foster the People and the rest of the Grammy nominees.
