Grammys’ Web Site Suffering From Pre-Show Jitters

identitycrises.pngIn an attempt to figure out who won the awards that weren’t important enough to make the Grammy Awards broadcast, I visited the awards show’s official site, where I was greeted with the above cascade of undefined values. (Then again, why should the Grammy site be any different than the rest of the music industry in 2008?) While I try and suss out what’s going on–especially the mystery over whether or not Tia Carerre won anything–I’ll have the red carpet shows on in the background. (Could the TV Guide channel’s reception be any more public-access quality? Part of me is inspired to try and fashion some rabbit ears out of a wire hanger, just to see if it’ll maybe help things.)

    I have no idea who the E! show is interviewing right now, but he is wearing PF Flyers and pants from Urban Outfitters.

    Maybe it’s a Mac thing???

    I’m working on my predictions post now — they should be public by 7:30, in case you’re curious.

    Are you also going to sit on a bed of nails or shampoo with broken light-bulb glass while you subject yourself to watching this tonight? Because nothing can make worse the destiny you’ve chosen for yourself for this evening. Reee-speeckt.

    @Catbirdseat: Actually I shampoo with the nails. It’s good for the scalp.

    The E! news ticker just “reported” the “news” that Pete Wentz threw Ashlee Simpson a prom-themed birthday party. Just in case you all wanted to know about musicians’ relative importance in the gossipsphere.

    Also Taylor Swift has some bad eyeshadow going on. I mean, I did too when I was that age, but.

    @Maura Johnston: “news” is right. Ashlee Simpson’s birthday is in OCTOBER.
