Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, perhaps inspired to play nice by the Album of the Year nomination In Rainbows received from the Grammys this year, has lent his visage—and his taste in music—to the award ceremony’s ad campaign, in which composites of nominated stars’ faces are created from the titles and lyrics of songs that influenced their musical development. Bjork’s “Unravel,” which Yorke has previously cited as one of his favorite songs ever, gets a nod, as does Madvillain’s “Meat Grinder.” There’s also a Liars shout-out! Anyway, a TV ad narrated by Yorke (it may sound like this, a bit) is rolling out as the broadcast gets closer, but for now, there’s a spot featuring Stevie Wonder’s musical development embedded after the jump.

Believe me, there’s no need to no Liars.
@2ironic4u: no = know
Do they have a Grammy for best lyric? They should, just to up the Grammy embarasment factor.
true, liars aint’ all that
just say’n y’alls
@brownham: well, but you have to admit, they are sorta out there as far as any sort of grammy-related mention goes.
Even though i love In Rainbows, pretty much everyone knows that Alison Kraus and Robert Plant are going to win Album of the Year. It’s just like Herbie Hancock last year or Steely Dan several years ago.
They’ll win Best Alternative Album easily. It’s pretty much impossible that that won’t happen.
Yuck, Liars. It’s always disconcerting when I musician I like likes a band that I hate.
On the other hand, Madvillain!
Liaes were opening for them at the time this was probably done, so…
