According to Maynard‘s Myspace Blog: Get this. Are you sitting down? Not sure how this happened, but I’m not complaining. Cuntry Boner just showed up at number 1 on the Billboard Dance Singles Chart and number 10 on the Billboard Singles Chart. Not kidding. Almost as funny as Jethro Tull winning a Grammy for Best METAL Performance. Hopefully it won’t go down. El Oh El.
Tool have been nominated for another Grammy more than 12 months after 10,000 Days was released. Maybe they’ll win it, who knows… Category 17 Best Hard Rock Performance (For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances, with vocals. Singles or Tracks only.) * Sweet Sacrifice Evanescence Track from: The Open Door [Wind-up Records, LLC] * The Pretender Foo Fighters [Roswell/RCA Records] * I Don’t Wanna Stop Ozzy Osbourne Track from: Black… Read More »Tool nominated for another Grammy
I think there have been enough Tool related polls lately, time for something completely different. What’s your favorite Primus album?
