Yes. I could see an argument for that.

At the 62nd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night, Billie Eilish emerged as a five-time winner during the ceremony hosted by Alicia Keys.

The 18-year-old singer and first-time Grammy winner, who grew up recording songs with her brother, Finneas O'Connell — a fellow Grammy winner who co-writes and produces her music — in the bedroom of her parents' house in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park, was up for six awards during the ceremony.

She won best vocal pop album, album of the year and record of the year (When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?), song of the year ("Bad Guy") and best new artist.

In addition, Eilish made history by being the youngest person to be nominated for, and to win, awards in all four general-field categories (album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist) in the same time period.

Winning song of the year, Eilish became the youngest winner since Lorde, who was 17 when she won in 2013 for co-writing "Royals." Taking the stage to accept her award, she said, "I never thought this would happen in my whole life. I feel like I jump around at these things and I never take anything seriously, but I genuinely want to say that I'm so grateful and I'm honored to be here."

Finneas expressed his shock at winning, noting that he loved all the other songs in the category. "We make music in our bedroom together, they let us do that, and we still do that," he said, before encouraging other young musicians to continue their pursuit of music.

Accepting for best new artist, Eilish thanked her touring team and her fans, who she noted are the reason anybody is on the winning stage. "I love all fandoms, thank you to the fans, you guys make this worth it. Thank you." She is the only nominee in the category who reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 Chart.

Upon winning album of the year, Eilish declared, "I'm not going to waste your time, I'm really not. I love you. Thank you for this." With this award win, the singer surpassed Taylor Swift as the youngest winner in Grammy history (Swift was 20 when she won a decade ago for Fearless). It is also the first debut album to win album of the year since Norah Jones' Come Away With Me in 2002.

Winning record of the year, Eilish became the youngest winner ever in that category (the distinction was previously held by Sam Smith and Kimbra). Eilish expressed her gratitude as host Keys moved on with the closing speech of the evening.

Meanwhile, Eilish was nominated for best pop solo performance for "Bad Guy", in which she lost out to Lizzo. Also during the award ceremony, Finneas won producer of the year and best engineered album in the non-classical category.

As well as being recognized with major nominations, Eilish and O'Connell, 22, performed an emotional acoustic version of "When the Party's Over" from her debut album. Finneas accompanied Eilish on the piano, and the two sang to an attentive room.

Out on the red carpet, Eilish continued her signature gender-less style trend by wearing a neon-green and black Gucci outfit that complimented her green hair dye; as well as green nail polish, fingerless gloves and dark sunglasses.

Aside from the Grammys, it was recently revealed that Eilish and Finneas have written and recorded the theme song for the 25th James Bond film, No Time to Die, in which Eilish is the youngest person ever to do so.

In reference to the song, which is to be released via Darkroom/Interscope Records, Eilish said in a recent statement, "It feels crazy to be part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honor. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I'm still in shock."

I am just fangirling so much right now! :panic:

Nice to see Tool win a grammy (for best metal performance) for 7empest, an absolute beast of a song that damn near killed me the first time I heard it.

This is kind of amazing. Dude worked at Kmart for like 10 years in the late 80s into the late 90s and saved all the cassette tapes of the music that they played over the speakers. Then he uploaded them all to this website.

Calling all music experts! I need your help!

I'm trying to think of a music video I remember seeing years ago. I feel like it was 90s or maybe early 2000s. In the video, a man was carrying a sickly woman down the hallway. She was very sick-looking with almost no hair. Almost like a cancer patient.

I cannot place the singer of this video. For the longest time I was getting this confused with the Tom Petty song Mary Jane's last dance. I also thought it was an R.E.M song at one point.

[mae]

Sounds almost like this, only it’s the opposite:

[Still Servant]

That's it! Thank you!

I think I was combining the Tom Petty song with this one. Mixing Kim Bassinger being rolled down the hall maybe.

You're very welcome, I'm happy that was it! I hate that feeling when you're trying to remember something and can't! Also, that Tom Petty video is awesome, too. (And Moby does look like Michael Stipe...)

[Mattrick]

I can't get enough of the new Modest Mouse album, The Golden Casket.

Well the guy did say there were some asterisks to some of those trivia. Which song was it btw?

[Jon]

#1 with Manfred Mann's Earth Band recording but not so with Bruce's, later recording.

Yeah. Some time ago I put on a long winded explanation of the line "Revved up like a duce; another runner in the night."
It's duce...not douche.
Revved up the engine of a 1932 Ford Duce. So named because of the "2" in 1932. There's a bit more to it as to why this particular car is so notable as to feature in a #1 song but that's likely only inter4sting tot those into car culture.

I can't believe I haven't heard about this before but it's rather great.

""The Most Unwanted Song" is a song created by artists Komar and Melamid and composer Dave Soldier in 1997. The song was designed to incorporate lyrical and musical elements that were annoying to most people, as determined by a public opinion survey. These elements included bagpipes, cowboy music, an opera singer rapping, and a children's choir that urged listeners to go shopping at Wal-Mart."


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPuH1yeZ08

Someone in the comment section pieced together a "story" for the song and I am still laughing...."Ah yes, the story of a cowgirl who grows really critical of modern philosophy, recruits Walmart child workers to her cause, and starts a fascist revolution."

There is also a Most Wanted song but I'm still fascinated with this monstrosity.

I just can't believe this happened. This is a nightmare thread about the events of Travis Scott's Astroworld concert. He knew people were dead and being carted off but kept playing for over 30 minutes. I was a fan but he belongs in jail and many others along with him.

[Jon]

Tommy. It seems we learn nothing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_concert_disaster

[St. Troy]

Event organizers are happy to cut corners where money can be made, and safety is an abstract concept to them - none of this should be a surprise.

[Tommy]

There are so many things that are wrong about this.
I knew about The Who trampling but I didn't know or had forgotten about a similar happening with Pearl Jam in Europe where nine were killed during a stampede.

I'm still just in shock about it, my friend that lives close nearly went to it.

[Tommy]

This is going to get really messy....

Travis Scott’s Ties to Houston Could Complicate Investigation of Fatal Concert

There are worries about conflicts of interest in the criminal investigation into the deaths of eight concertgoers during Mr. Scott’s performance at the Astroworld festival. (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/09/us/travis-scott-astroworld-houston.html)

I think Iron Maiden's newest album (September 2021) is working out to be one of their best...at least in the top 5.

Anyone know anything about Rammstein?
I just re-watched LOST HIGHWAY and I liked the song that group of completely everyday normal looking guys played in it.
Buy one of their CDs?
Sprinkle holy water on them and run away as fast as I can?
Don't bother?

New City and Colour tracks are as great as I'd expect. Can't wait for the new album to drop in two months.

Tommy did you hear about that Rolling Stones Concert in (1969) where they had Hell's Angel's as guards to keep the fans at bay where as the band was playing there was a fight going on and it wasn't until later after the concert was over where they learned people were killed. but i think they would have stopped the concert had they known they did regret hiring hell's angels

So lived this long without knowing that the Foo Fighters were/are(?) AIDS/HIV denialists. As in it is not contagious, don't take the meds and no need for protection, a myth created by pharma. They were so deep into this they held a benefit concert back in 2000.

It is amazing that this was such a big thing with them and 24 years later, a lot of folks are finding out about it even though this cause, Alive and Well cost a lot of folks their lives through medical misinformation and conspiracies. TFF have never apologized for any of this, Bill Clinton publicly admonished them, this is so wild.
