    She's got such a weird face.

    Weird in this context means "best", right?

    Nah. She just looks odd to me. Disney has a habit of picking stars for their TV shows with weird faces. This chick, Hillary Duff, Miley "Snaggletooth" Cyrus.

    She looks like a real doll

    Do you mean that in the way like a 50s movie would say it or as in the creepy life size sex dolls?

    The kind with an optional detachable penis.

    I am proud of myself that the first way I read it was as it was Humphrey Bogart saying Lauren Bacall looked like a real doll or something like that instead of immediately thinking of creepy sex toys.

    Looking at the list of nominations and awards is crazy. I live in a musical fantasy world where pop and hip-hop music don't exist. I've heard of like three of these other artists before.

    I thought Arcade Fire were, like, super huge?

    well yeah but they're "indie" which means that no matter how many actual albums they sell you still won't hear them on the top 40 or see their album for sale at Wal-Mart

    I swear i've seen a end cap display for one of their releases. You sir are a liar.

    Thats the dumbest thing Ive ever heard geek.

    HAve you talked to your penis lately? Made sure he hasnt switched teams?

    Hey, she's got a nice figure, but something about her face is just off somehow.

    (I had to verify her birthdate on Wikipedia to make sure I wouldn't feel too creepy about saying she has a nice figure.)

    The Heirbrain Scheme
    Flatter Earth
    Flashpan Mob

    I bet one of those is a real band name.

    That's the risk of playing the game. You never know when you'll have accidentally said a real indy band name.

    That happened when I mentioned the band Harm's Feed. Then I started listening to them. They were AMAZING until they got signed. Now I just want to punch all the posers and idiots who listen to their new stuff.

    Even in a non sexual way I find it weird that you dont think shes extreamely pretty.

    I'm speaking from my own experience that I've never seen them in my local Wal-Mart. Or Target or Fred Meyer's for that matter. I must just have terrible stores where I live.

    Yeah, I know lots of people are creeped out by her pageant-doll face. I've never agreed but I can see what they're getting at. Maybe I'm a secret pedophile.

    Actually, I find her more and more attractive the older she gets. I gotta stop talking about this now before I SE++ starts thinking I'm a giant lez.

    Indie bands get sold at large stores, they just don't have the industry presence as the major labels, that is why it was surprising for them to win, because the award is so political.

    But the major labels are so impotent now that it doesn't really matter anymore.

    A record is just one song. An Album is the whole Album.
    Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer, and/or mixer for that song. In this sense, "record" means a recording of one song, not the composition or an album of songs. Often, the nominees and winners of this song represent the most successful songs of the year.

    Like, singles go on a single record. They are actually usually released separate from an album.
