We were all set to blather on about the Grammys, and how their nominations are a confused jumble of the worst tendencies of big-company music in 2006 and how we’re sort of dreading the ceremony, which will be full of same-ol-same performances and built-to-promote appearances, but then two things happened: first, Bob Lefsetz beat us to it, and second, our trains of thought were stopped dead cold by the “Grammy Awards artwork,” which is by an artist named Todd White. We’ve been staring at the piano-playing hands for a good 10, 15 minutes now, and we still can’t figure out where they came from, and whether or not the positions of their fingers are possible by anyone who isn’t quintuple-jointed.

That LEFSETZ sure does ENJOY the RANDOM use of capital LETTERS, doesn’t HE?
Grammys? Boring? Mister Lefsetz, you must be joking! I really wonder when the era of when people “looked at who won the awards to find out what to buy”, because I must have missed it.
I bet it was back in ’67 when some up and comer named Frank Sinatra won Record of the Year. I can only imagine how many people ran to the record store the next morning to check that Sinatra fellow out.
The fingers belong to the blonde woman in the center of the group.
