are u pro or con aphex twin winning a grammy award for his
2014 album "syro" and do u think he will win. if he wins i
hope he acepts the award and doesnt try 2 make a big deal
about hating grammys. hes like 50 years old thats way 2 old
for that

it.

i hope he wins but i dont think he will, the grammys always
give the grammy 2 the artist not deserving it. last year
they gave the new age grammy to some tinkle twinkle piano
player instead of kitaro which is wack, i bet deadmau6 will
get it

It's strange and awkward, for a number of different reasons.
Not the least of which is the irony of finally being
nominated for a Grammy after all these years basically only
because other people who are relatively horrible at doing
the same thing, have become popular.

They only nominated him as a gesture since he decided to
finally release an album. If syro came out 10 years ago and
sounded the same, he would not have been nominated because
techno wasn't all cool and trendy and hipstered out like it
is today, and chances are the same ppl responsible for
nominating him didn't respect him at all and gave no shit
whatsoever, they were into Coldplay and pendulum just like
everyone is into skrillex and aphex today.

bit weird i suppose, I get the impression he wouldn't get
much personal satisfaction from it, probably use it as a
door stop or something.

well warp did alot of viral / gorilla marketing which is
important for the grammy voters who lets face it dont know
alot of music and that kind of marketing pr is there job

If he gets a grammy it will be for the album, but
considering his whole 'oeuvre' it would be deserved.

For the confused and the haters: it's just a bit of fun. No
one here seriously gives a fuck.

I'd find it great if he got it. I doubt he will.

the melody barons have no intention of giving aphex twin
that granny. nominating him is just a marketing ploy to get
the lucrative idm demographic to tune in to the awards
broadcast
