Amy Winehouse has videos? Why haven't I seen them?! (Oh yes, because I don't have cable teevee.)
PB&J are big. Best Buy is pushing them, and the bars in the suburbs are playing them. I witnessed it tonight; all the drunks were whistling along. Yep, they're a hit!
And for the record... I've met just about everyone who contributes to this here website and I wouldn't consider any of them to be the highbrow hipster types who just arbitrarily shun anything that's got any kind of mainstream popularity. I think the point Erik may be trying to make — and if it's not, then it's the point I'm trying to make — is that MTV is out of touch and gives away awards based more on popularity than merit, because here you see they have nominated a slew of buzz-heavy artists who, given the amount of talent in the world, may not be the most deserving, but may be the most cutting-edge by MTV audience standards. MTV wants to get some cred back, and now that indie is king, they're trying to get in on the fun. But most of us are so over them, we don't even know what channel they're on anymore (if we even still have cable TV). I mean, MTV who? Awards huh? Yawn. And thus, they can't be taken seriously.
I'll vouch for the absolute unpretentiousness of Erik, the 3igs, ChrisB, Kiku, Jesse, Elle, Embracey, RickG, Robby, Cal, and the many many other genuinely nice peeps behind this site that I got to meet last month.
~mmm, frittata~
