I just recieved a press release from Grappa stating that Motorpsycho is nominated as best rock act at the Spellemann awards (norwegian Grammy).
January 25, 2010 at 12:03 #16167Nice! They deserve it!
January 25, 2010 at 13:43 #16168Here’s a story on the nominees: http://www.adressa.no/kultur/article1435892.ece
Motorpsycho – Child Of The Future is up against:
DumDum Boys – Tidsmaskin
Heroes & Zeros – Simian Vices Modern Devices
John Olav Nilsen & Gjengen – For Sant Til Å Være Godt
Skambankt – Hardt Regn
My guess is that John Olav Nilsen & Gjengen wins.
January 25, 2010 at 13:59 #16169Aaah crap! I fear that too! Don’t really get the whole hype around that band. Personally i think they suck pretty bad!
January 25, 2010 at 14:20 #16170Can’t say I agree…
Great lyrics, good music, and attitude makes it probably the best norwegian record last year in my book.
But, I still hope Motorpsycho wins of course
January 25, 2010 at 14:58 #16171I find it quite funny that they´ve nominated for COTH, since it´s not really considered a “real” album. They weren´t nominated for LLM, were they?
Anyways, I´ll be very very very suprised if not John Olav Nilsen and his gang wins.
Next year they´ll probalby win with HMF. Not that I really care about that shit…
Go motorpsycho! :MPD:
January 25, 2010 at 19:18 #16172Elvin: They were nominated for LLM. But Lukestar won that time.
January 25, 2010 at 21:40 #16173The allmighty Immortal to Spelemann: GTFO. http://www.nrk.no/lydverket/spellemannpris-nei-takk/
January 25, 2010 at 22:22 #16174I consider Child of the Future very much a real album.
January 25, 2010 at 23:24 #16175I consider COTF also very much a real album. Why shouldnt it be? Do you consider Sgt. Pepper an EP? It’s about the same length as COTF and was also released on vinyl only when it first came out.
January 25, 2010 at 23:39 #16176I also think that the fucking hyped-up boring piece of shit J.O.N & Gjengen will win.
But if it was up to me, either MP or Heroes & Zeros should win (Simian Vices Modern Devices is a brilliant album!)
January 26, 2010 at 09:37 #16177Lenght has nothing to do with it. There a albums that last 20 minutes and EPs that last 40 minutes.
And I don´t consider COTH an studio album nor en EP, but more like fishtank/barracuda thingy. They didn´t intend it to be follow up til Lucid, but a “secret record for the fans” as snah said recently. And it ended up selling 10k LPs and being nomineted for spellemansprisen. Which I find quite amusing.
And what do you mean, Stg Pepper wasnt released on CD/download in ´67?!! Of course it was, you guys must be crazy
January 26, 2010 at 11:04 #16178@ Otherdemon:
Huh…as long as it’s out there, 40 minutes in length and with good songs on it, i don’t get why it shouldn’t be viewed as a real album?! Anyway, here’s to a miracle happening, that the norwegian audience realizes that JON&G is crap, and that MP deserve this award for yet a good album + their tireless effort to make good music for 20+ years now! Go Motorpsycho!!
January 26, 2010 at 11:43 #16179Yesyes, COTF is good! Hope it wins
Even if it doesnt´t win, MP should get the lifetime achivement award (if there is such award, and if doesn´t, make one and give it to them)
January 27, 2010 at 13:15 #16180if it wasn’t for the fact that motorpsycho are so prolific and bring out such long records year on year, i don’t think anybody would even question whether cotf is an album or not.
