Part of me, frankly, doesn't give a damn. Because, frankly, the GRAMMYs become less significant with each passing year (for reasons detailed here ). But another part of me (the part that generally avoids using Gone with the Wind references and dreams of Rihanna one day being a GRAMMY queen) can't help but weigh in on the nominations that were announced on November 30. I've always thought that the GRAMMY nominations were more interesting for the snubs than for those recognized, and this year was no different. The [...]
The GRAMMY award nominations list has been revealed, and it's exactly what you'd expect, with Adele/Bon Iver/Kanye West all featuring heavily. The surprising thing about the list, apart from Mumford & Sons getting nominated for a couple of awards, is the lack of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy on the Album Of The Year list. The full list can be seen here , though we've listed the main awards below. Album Of The Year 21 – Adele Wasting Light – Foo Fighters [...]

Adele - Wireimage Adele is officially the belle of the 54th annual GRAMMY Awards ball, as she scores a whopping six nominations for the biggest awards show in music, including nods in major categories like Record of the Year for her ubiquitous smash "Rolling In The Deep," Song of the Year, also for "Deep," and Album of the Year for her sophomore album, 21 . But it's Kanye West who snatched up the most awards. The hip-hop visionary bests the British soul singer by one nod to score [...]

The nominees for the 2012 Grammy Awards were officially revealed during a live television broadcast on Wednesday night, and Bon Iver was among the most called! Justin Vernon and Co. received a nomination for Best New Artist, while their song "Holocene" is up for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Bon Iver , the album, also was nominated for Alternative Album of the Year. Now, before we go any further, let's first remember this is Grammys and the rules make little sense: 1.) The cut off date for an eligible song/record/album [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Awards Collin Erie for AOL The 2012 Grammy nominations have been announced during a special concert on CBS, and, as usual, there are plenty of no-brainers and a handful of surprises. And, of course, a performance by Lady Gaga that made us go, "Hmm, OK, that's happening." The first category announced was Record of the Year, which goes to the performer and [...]
Since releasing "For Emma, Forever Ago" in 2007, Bon Iver has went from being a lonely heartbroken man in a cabin in Wisconsin, to Q Award winning artist accompanied by full band. The digital world and blogosphere went wild for this release some time ago, and since then Bon Iver has quickly become one of the most reputable and sought after artists in the world of music. No one could have predicted the rapid rise to fame that Justin Vernon would endure after independently releasing For Emma, which he recorded and produced entirely on his [...]

Following yesterday's stunning announcement that Jack White had collaborated with Insane Clown Posse our thoughts turned to other oddball musical pairings. For this week's B List, we polled the Hidden Track staff and compiled a list of ten of the oddest musical collaborations. Here's what we came up with... 10. Phish and Jay-Z It’s well documented that Phish loves to cross genres and play with guests, but when Trey Anastasio introduced Jay-Z to the stage in Coney Island [...]
The Baker's Dozen: our monthly feature of the thirteen must-hear tracks from the month just gone. Say goodbye to August with good music in your ears. Girls - Honey Bunny Roll on 12th September - the day that Father, Son, Holy Ghost is released! We've already been treated to the epic, brooding 'Vomit', well Chris Owens and Chet White have now unleashed 'Honey Bunny'. The track tips its hat toward Elvis Costello, and has a surf pop sound which couldn't be further from 'Vomit's' vibe. Lyrically, it finds Owens as [...]
First off I want to apologize on behalf of Nab and I for our brief posting hiatus here at ThisBonusTrack.com this week. As i’ve said before, our lives get busy and unfortunately the site takes the back seat when we wish it wouldn’t. Despite our posting hiatus, listening and reviewing music still remains and important part of our life. That being said, we look forward to getting back to the site and sharing what we believe to be the best music out there. On that note, last week I celebrated my 20th birthday with some close family and [...]
A little late here because at this point in the blog world who hasn't heard James Blake 's and Bon Iver 's collaboration on "Fall Creek Boys Choir"? It must be some Kanye West wet dream fantasy at this point, because I'm not sure what two artists combining their efforts could possibly be more 2011. Listen to the song below and grab the single August 29 on Itunes.
James Blake and Bon Iver - Fall Creek Boys Choir Two artists who came out of left field and went on to become rapid out-of-nowhere crazy successes decided to hook up and make sweet, sweet...music...here were my thoughts on the collaboration. Marc : I love Bon Iver . I think Justin Vernon is brilliant. His fame started off slow...quiet...first one person heard the album...then another...it wasn't even on a label...it was just passed around here and there until one day everyone woke up and Bon Iver was [...]
It might seem premature to ask, but you cannot front like you weren't up at midnight this past Sunday/Monday waiting on the release of Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne . Hell, if that wasn't the case, then you can't front like you weren't looking all over the web Monday morning for a link. It's OK, we won't judge. And we won't act like y'all probably haven't heard the album at least five times by now. As such, we felt it was necessary to ask our Facebook fans [...]
