Can't say that I have a favorite, but I do have a small collection of first releases (not necessary first printings) of the Michael Shayne detective novels. As they were reissued over the years the illustration became in my opinion became more artistically bankrupt concluding with "cheesecake: photography of women (obviously) posed in a way that very often had no relation to the story inside.

And why or why am I up so early again???

Morning all.
Annie E. Casey and the Helena Rubinstein Foundations await me.

In the past I have shown my favorite paperback covers, so this time I will show my newest
obsession interest, a series of children's books from the 30s, 40s, and 50s, most by author Ruth Dixon and all with photos by Harry Whittier Frees. the pictures just make me smile.

Great book covers, Michael. Very cute!

I loved all the Frank Frazetta & Roy Krenkel covers on the Ace Edgar Rice Burroughs paperbacks from the sixties. Frazetta Conan covers. The pyramid Fu Manchus. Weird Tales Magazine covers by Margaret Brundage.

Good morning!
Not quite as cool this morning, and we have a 40% chance of rain this afternoon. We do have a mostly white sky right now, so who knows if we'll get any rain?

Benjamin Kritzer - the novel. I saw the cover on Amazon.com and bought the book YEARS before I became a poster here at HHW.
-
Well, looks like my days off are coming to an end.
And, no, not with THE TOWERING INFERNO. It still has not arrived. The TV box sets for August began arriving this morning. First up is THE LOVE BOAT, Season 2, Volume 2. Haven't watched an episode of the show in many, many years, so this will certainly be a step back in time.

Enjoyed reading bk's take on UP. I will be reviewing the Blu-ray when it's released this fall, I'm assuming, and I'm looking forward to seeing it. His description of the environment while watching the movie, however, is the very reason why I won't be heading to my local theater to see it there.

Emmy nominations were announced this morning and there were BIG surprises:
No best comedy nominations for UGLY BETTY, THE BIG BANG THEORY, TWO AND A HALF MEN, or DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Instead, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS and WEEDS and FAMILY GUY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER landed in the category.
No best drama nominations for GREY'S ANATOMY, THE SHIELD, RESCUE ME, '24,' THE MENTALIST, BURN NOTICE, THE CLOSER, or TRUE BLOOD. Instead, only two network shows (LOST and HOUSE) are represented with the other nominees coming from cable: BIG LOVE, MAD MEN, DEXTER, DAMAGES, BREAKING BAD.
Nice to see Jim Parsons finally win a nomination (Best Comedy Actor) but I was very disappointed for the actors in THE SHIELD, all of whom did award-winning work and who lost out to less deserving nominees.

You're welcome! I'm always happy when the little reminder most mornings helps folks (other than me, of course) remember something they wanted to see.

I guess I need to head downstairs to get cleaned up for my lunch out with friends today.
WBBL.
-
I'm up, I'm up. Unlike yesterday when, for whatever reason, there was only silence in the morning (the one morning I needed to arise at seven), today has been a festival of noise.
-
DR TCB - we were referring the June Kenney star of ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE, TEENAGE DOLL, and SORORITY GIRL.....oh and CAT BURGLAR.....who has some residuals at SAG..... She has not provided them with a current address....
Allison's case is to be expected, she's been dead since 1977....Ms. Kenney is a mystery. All books that contain interviews with her co stars say they enjoyed working with her, she was very serious about her acting.....but no one knows where she is.
-
Good morning, everyone.
Thanks for all those who sent me vibes last week, and I in turn send them to
LARRY--vibes for your aching bod
GINNY'S BIL for a successful surgery
TCB for resolution of all that ails you.
BTW, the doctor who's been helping me so much is having surgery herself today and I do hope that that goes well. After FINALLY finding a doctor who listens and can help me, I don't want to lose her! Vibes would be appreciated.
-
The noise is HERE today, Bruce. I think the gardeners have a contest to see who can make the most noise.
-
It sounds like you may have had what is termed DEEP SCALING, Bruce. It is indeed much more than the usual cleaning.
-
Whatever it was it WAS deep. Deep Scaling - isn't that a porno film?
-
TTFN, kids.
-
How about that? Bruce read my posts. ;)
-
Thank you DR JRand.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I've been up for a little while since I had a call at 8:45am... "We need someone at 9:30 to play for 20 minutes. Could you come in? We'll pay you for a half-day."
Now that is a good alarm clock!
-
VIBES FOR DR JEANNE'S CARING DOCTOR!
-
DR Michael S, wishing you the best for your upcoming play!

bk - You're gums will recover sooner than you think. In the meantime, it's always a good time to get a new toothbrush after you've had a good cleaning/scaling.

Nice to see Jim Parsons finally win a nomination (Best Comedy Actor) but I was very disappointed for the actors in THE SHIELD, all of whom did award-winning work and who lost out to less deserving nominees.
They were "tweeting" the Emmy nominations this morning, and I kept scrolling back looking for some of the shows and actors that I thought were going to be shoe-ins. But I am happy for "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad".
-
And as I left the rehearsal hall, I came across the Blue Bunny Ice Cream street team handing out free samples of their new "Double-Strawberry Sedonas" - frozen yogurt ice cream sandwiches. Quite tasty, and somewhat nutritious too! Free Breakfast!
*Thanks again, DR Cillaliz for tipping me off to their promo. They'll actually be back this afternoon handing out more Champ Cones and t-shirts. I may have to return for "lunch". ;)
-
In the meantime, I'm currently camping out in a Starbucks where...
I'm sitting next to what I thought was a "Broadway publicist" and her client. Well, it turns out that "she" is a theatrical agent and "he" is an actor.
"She" does not know anything about the current crop of shows or actors. However, "he" does. "She" keeps reading down the list of breakdowns, and keeps asking "What show is this? Who is that?" Thankfully(?), "he" knows all those answers. Of course, if she just happened to go to the homepage of Playbill.com - and her laptop is on the table - she would know the answers to half of the questions she's asking. However...
"She" keeps assuring "him" that she will send him for the right projects. Of course, I just heard her laugh out loud at the title of Superior Donuts - "I would never send you in for something with that title!" - and she mentioned a production of August Wilson's Fences that she thought her client would be right for. "He" is in his mid-50s, white and Jewish. :-\
-
And now I believe I'm going to make my way over to Bryant Park for today's "Broadway in Bryant Park" presentation....
-
You should suggest that she be fired.
-
Are you viewing or presenting today, DR JOSE?
-
And later on today, there's also the possibility of attending - and possibly participating in this:
Break Out In Song (http://www.breakoutinsong.com/)
-
Are you viewing or presenting today, DR JOSE?
Just viewing.
-
Update: "She" is new in town. "She" just moved from L.A. where she worked in T.V. and movies, and decided to jump into the "Broadway game". I wish her well. I guess.
-
I did get a new toothbrush - two of them, in fact.
-
OK... Time to walk over to 42nd Street and 6th Ave.

DR MB, check your theatre out on Fandango.com --if it's a multiplex, they might be showing UP in more than one venues, some with 3-D and the others without.
-
Well, looks like my days off are coming to an end.
And, no, not with THE TOWERING INFERNO. It still has not arrived. The TV box sets for August began arriving this morning. First up is THE LOVE BOAT, Season 2, Volume 2. Haven't watched an episode of the show in many, many years, so this will certainly be a step back in time.
Step (back) in time, step (back) in time
Step (back) in time, step (back) in time
Never need a reason,
Never need a rhyme
Step (back) in time, you step (back) in time

I did get a new toothbrush - two of them, in fact.
One for each tooth, eh! Very extravagant! (don't hate me, Bruce...I just HAD to say it).

Since I watch very little network TV, the Emmy's don't mean a lot to me, but really--six to seven nominees for each category?
Between this and the ten Best Picture nominees for the Oscars and the Tony Awards Committee cutting out the critics in voting, this is truly the year of dumbing down entertainment awards.

Thanks, BK, for sharing your reactions to Pixar's "Up." As we wholeheartedly agree on past Pixar presentations, I'm certain I'm going to love it every bit as much as you did.
-
Has anyone seen the Jim Carrey comedy YES MAN? I got it from the library and will watch it tonight.
My library started getting most of the new movies coming out. And they are free (although $2/day if you don't return them, you get 3 days).
The only thing is you can't reserve. But you can suggest movies that they don't have. And if you do that they get put on the list to get them first.
And if you go online and see that a movie you want is in, they will put it aside for you to pick up.
-
Great kitty pics, Laura. :D
-
bk - You're gums will recover sooner than you think. In the meantime, it's always a good time to get a new toothbrush after you've had a good cleaning/scaling.
I suggest cleaning the old toothbrush, a new one will likely be harder & make the tender gums bleed.

I am still in awe of the fact that teeth can move.

Cute kitty pics. :)

Good Afternoon!
I guess I've sort of flipped my usual daily routine. Usually, I head of the apartment around 2:00 or 3:00 to run some errands, for some work and/or just to get out of the apartment. But now I'm back at my apartment after heading out earlier today, and I think I may stay in for the rest of the day. Although, I may pop back down to Columbus Circle later to check out the "Break Out In Song" "flash-mob.

Pictures appreciated DR JOSE.
DR JRand - Well, I snapped an iPhone pic of the crowd, but that was about it. It was an interesting line-up of shows today at Bryant Park: The Little Mermaid, 9 to 5, The Toxic Avenger, and Pure Country. Alas, it appears whoever ran the sound at The Tony's was also running the sound today at Bryant Park. You know it's bad when you can't hear Allison Janney (or "Jane-y" according to the announcer), Megan Hilty and Stephanie J. Block over the backing track.
*And I wasn't sure it was such a smart move to send out one of the female cast members from Pure Country to sing a quiet ballad... While she held her music... And she also had to hold her music when she sang the duet.
-
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......at least she wasn't lip synching.

Life seems much more livable that way.

Between this and the ten Best Picture nominees for the Oscars and the Tony Awards Committee cutting out the critics in voting, this is truly the year of dumbing down entertainment awards.
But doesn't the fact that you DON'T watch much network TV mean that your opinion is not really based much on the facts?
The fact is that the quality of TV dramatic shows has never been as high or rich, and they could have EASILY filled the deserving nominee slots with ten or more drama series that are truly worthy.
There are fewer comedies that I would say that about, and my own feelings about increasing the Best Picture Oscar nominees to ten is well known (I think it's absurd).
But you don't know what you're talking about in terms of drama series.

Johnny Depp: "My dream role would be to play musical legend Carol Channing in a biopic of her life. I love her, I really do. She's amazing. With all the digital technology available these days I could probably pull it off.
How ridiculous. He said this with a straight (no pun intended) face?
-
It was very hot and uncomfortable today. Humidity has returned, and it's just "wilting weather" outside.
-
When I got in, I started watching THE LOVE BOAT. Because lunch ran late, I only had time for two episodes.
THE LOVE BOAT is great for star watching, but was there ever a more innocuous show that was this immensely popular? Even when they bring up something trendy or controversial such as open marriage, it's handled in such a bland, predictable way that it's not very interesting. A the comedy is mild at best, even though the boisterous laugh track would make you think it's a laugh riot.
-
The first episode (the one with the open marriage plot) had Barbara Rush and Peter Marshall experimenting. Ray Bolger and Martha Raye got paired together. And Tina Louise played one of Bernie Kopell's many ex-wives. She latches on to Lyle Waggoner.
-
The second episode had Bobby Van and Elaine Joyce offering Gopher (Fred Grandy) a job as a hotel manager. Abe Vigoda is paired with Nancy Walker while magician Ron Palillo ends up with his brother's female magician assistant.
This one did feature some location filming on board a real cruise ship rather than just the studio mock-ups used on most of the episodes.
-
How ridiculous. He said this with a straight (no pun intended) face?
Sorry; I don't know the context.
-
I did have just enough time to skim through today's THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. Phillip was on (Adam too), but there was just more of the same guilt trip stuff. Lord, they are going to milk that for all it's worth!
Nothing in the previews with Phillip or Rafe.

Back from Jerry's deli and a turkey sandwich. Only one package arrived today - very annoying. I was not intending to eat just yet, but Time Warner was down for almost an hour and I got fed up and then literally got fed up at Jerry's. We're back online now.

Okay, someone really needs to explain to me where all the errant and truant people are - where the HELL are S. Woody and der Brucer? Where is Jane? Where's Laura? And the list goes on and on and on.

I want more favorite book covers from people too!
-
Speaking of which, a book that I read in the 5th grade (I think) had a cover that I alwasy liked. The title was, "Berries Goodman."

I have to start on my review (though I've only seen the first two of twelve episodes in the package. Hopefully, I can get at least four more done tonight so I will be halfway through and be able to finish it tomorrow).

What's interesting about book covers is how different the different editions can be. Here's the first(?) cover of Fredric Brown's "Space On My Hands" from 1953:

And here's a reissue from 1980:

Not in a gazillion years would I have guessed that these are for the same book. Of course, it's a book of short stories, but still...

You are correct about their shipping being slow. I looked back and the reason I didn't remember what I ordered is because it was one month ago. And all of the titles I bought were "in stock."

DR Ginny thank you for the update on your DBIL.
-
Thanks for all good vibes
As of 7:35pm EST I finished the first draft of the play.
I will work on the play with my actor tomorrow night and do a quick read through before the reading.
It will be Saturday at 3pm, but I don't have the place.
I also found out that today that one of my jokes (I think one of the best) is going to be antiquated. It is a product and the company decided today to change the name. i thought it was an exciting name and it is being change to an ordinary one that many other companies use.
Oh well.
Got to go.
Print out the plays and my laptop battery is about to give up 5% more to go

And if Johnny Depp ever plays Barbra playing Carol
(to clarify after Ron's post below, Depp would play Mrs. L, a cross between Mrs. Dolly Levi and Mrs. Nellie Lovett):
Louis:
Well, hello
Mrs L:
Look who's here!
Louis:
Nellie, this is Louis
Mrs. L:
Hello, Louis!
Louis:
Nellie, It's so nice to have you here where you belong
Mrs. L:
I am so glad to be here!
Louis:
You're lookin' swell,
Mrs. L:
Thank you, Louis!
Louis:
Nellie, I can tell
Mrs. L:
Does it show?
Louis:
Nellie
You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
You're still
BOTH:
Oom . . . goin' strong
Louis:
I feel the room swayin'
And that man's slayin'
One of our old favorite chums from way back when
Mrs. L:
I remember him
Louis:
so,
Mrs. L:
I'm gonna flavor him
Louis:
Show some flair, fellas, find her an empty chair, yeah!
BOTH:
Nellie'll never go avay again . . .

DR Michael S-congrats on finishing the draft.
I often find it mind boggling why name changes are done, like Washington Mutual to WaMu, or SciFi to SyFy.
-
I put on a DVD to check the quality and immediately fell asleep. Workers are gone, so there is blessed quiet. I'm listening to CDs right now and waiting for my designer to show up and pick up the rest of the stuff for our next release.
-
Okay, someone really needs to explain to me where all the errant and truant people are - where the HELL are S. Woody and der Brucer? Where is Jane? Where's Laura? And the list goes on and on and on.
Hey, I posted today.
-
I have been busy transferring all the phone numbers from one cell phone to another.

Stiff back or stiff knees
You're great at Epiph'nies
Sweeney is a girl's best friend
Hey! Now you're gettin' into Merman/Porter territory!

DR Michael S-congrats on finishing the draft.
I often find it mind boggling why name changes are done, like Washington Mutual to WaMu, or SciFi to SyFy.
Regarding the latter, I have strong suspicions it was changed to "SyFy" because too many people were referring to it as the [skiff'-ee] channel....and that was because they didn't know better, not because they were just having fun with the abbrieviation "SciFi".
As for WaMu...."Washington Mutual" is a mouthful and sounds really "stuffy" whereas "WaMu" sounds totally cool and hip.
And yes, that is speculation, too, and no, I don't think it's cool and hip....I think it's ludicrous.
But.....whatchagonnado!

DR FJL -- in your riff on "Hello, Dolly!" starring Johnny Depp as Carol Channing portraying Dolly Levi....who is this "Nellie" person?
-
Ron P - Nellie is Mrs. Lovett, i figured if he's doing Carol he's probably play Mrs. L instead of Sweeney. Like Depp's idea, this is not thought out with the utmost logic. :)
-
I edited the set-up above to clarify :) based on your question.

Great news on your progress, Michael S.

Great news about your script, Michael S!

I have been busy transferring all the phone numbers from one cell phone to another.
I hate doing that. When I purchased my current phone I was told phones now have a chip, or something, that transfers the info for you.

Oh, so SciFi went from skiff'-ee to see-fee, big diff! ;D

Ditto! :D

And as I left the rehearsal hall, I came across the Blue Bunny Ice Cream street team handing out free samples of their new "Double-Strawberry Sedonas" - frozen yogurt ice cream sandwiches. Quite tasty, and somewhat nutritious too! Free Breakfast!
*Thanks again, DR Cillaliz for tipping me off to their promo. They'll actually be back this afternoon handing out more Champ Cones and t-shirts. I may have to return for "lunch". ;)
A friend of mine was acting as blue bunny barker for awhile encouraging people to get a "champ"
It's out of character for him, his wife was quite surprised. He's there for depositions and keeps calling her from intermissions of Broadway shows. she is jealous.
-
G'night!

'night TCB. I'm about to sign off too. I've been on my feet most of the day & my thigh is swollen from yesterday's sting. I'm icing it now & want to elevate it.

Sting be gone vibes to DR Jane ~~~~~~~~~

My DH's phone stuff transferred over with no problem. Mine didn't.
-
Sorry DR Laura...were you able to save it all?
-
Thanks Cilla.
Laura, how unfair ;)
-
DR Jose, did you go back for a Champ?
-
It's ok. It's how you learn the new phone.
-
Good Evening!
The "Break Out In Song" event down at the Time-Warner Center was fun. Of course, word had gotten out that "something" was going to happen, so by the time I had gotten there around 5:45, lots of people were already lined up along the balconies, and they had obviously cleared a space in front of Williams-Sonoma for "something". But still, it was nice.
Today's selection was "If They Could See Me Now", and they had one young woman start it off - just as she had ascended the escalator from Whole Foods, and eventually a whole ensemble had assembled for the final kick line.
I did take some pictures - which I posted on my Facebook page and Twitter feed - and I also recorded some video too.
-
Does anybody remember this tv special? I've never seen it.

-
DR Jose, did you go back for a Champ?
Yes, I did.
And, yes, I did.
;)
*I managed to catch up with their Team/Twitter Leader, and we had a nice discussion about Blue Bunny products being fully introduced in the New York City area. I was surprised that they brought so many staff from Iowa and Kansas City - most companies would just hire locals.
-

OH, WOW! Thanks for posting that, DR Laura!
I believe it was a BBC production, that I don't think ever was officially broadcast stateside.

No SIM chip?
Some companies/carriers now allow you to upload your contact lists to their site for back-up purposes, as well as for transferring purposes. Was that an option for you?

When I heard that they had given out 15,000 cones in just over an hour yesterday, I sort of made sure to get there "early" today. It was fun watching them give away the ice cream... "Would you like two? How about a couple to take back to your friends, office?" ;)
*Alas, I didn't hang around long enough today to get one of the the t-shirts. ::)
-
After the "Break Out In Song" event, I just started walking up Broadway from 59th Street. 85 blocks later, I was back home. :)

Does anybody remember this tv special? I've never seen it.
It is one of my most prized VHS tapes. And it's a good production, too. It's a shame, though, that they cut some songs entirely, and many verses of other songs that remain. :(
But still, I'll take what I can get. :) This show is, for me, the ultimate charmer.
-
We're on track to have the 3rd coolest July on record. I am loving it. It's only 64 degrees right now. I have the windows open and a cool fresh breeze is passing through the house. I love it!!!

Everything's better
With Blue Bunny on it.

DR Jose, I am very glad NYC has been introduced to Blue Bunny. On one of my trips, I was wearing my "Blue Bunny University" sweatshirt and got lots of stares and questions. it was pretty funny

Laura DR, are you gonna donate the old copier to The Game Warden for target practice?

The DH is back from another convention week. He is so tired that he fell asleep with the light on, his reading glasses on, and a Sodoku book in one hand and a pencil in the other. All said accoutrements have been removed, and the light extinguished. Without a peep. :)
-
We went out to dinner tonight at the local establishment, just two blocks from our home.
During the course of our meal, our waitress used the word "ersatz."
I giggled. :)

The little supermarket up the street from my apartment started carrying some Blue Bunny products last summer, but then a few weeks later, they disappeared. Guess I'll have to check if they're back.

He wasn't a vendor exhibiting at ALA in Chicago, was he? That sounds like the way they looked as the exhibit hall was closing on Tuesday!

I was wondering if he was dancing with the SSA people at the "posh resort"

I believe it was a BBC production, that I don't think ever was officially broadcast stateside.
Of course it was. I have it on a homemade VHS tape, so it HAD to be broadcast here for me to have gotten it. I want to say it was on PBS, but it might possibly have been A&E. However, I think PBS because there are no commercial breaks.

I didn't get as many episodes of THE LOVE BOAT watched as I was expecting, mainly because one of them was a two hour "movie" event, and the one I'm on now was broadcast as a 90-minute special. I've only gotten through about 15 minutes of episode 6.
-
I have Blue Bunny chocolate ice cream in my freezer right now.
Up until about an hour ago, I had Blue Bunny premium vanilla in my freezer.
-
I feel deprived...but not depraved.
I think that's for us to decide. ;)
-
The first episode I watched had Cathy Lee Crosby ditching Randolph Mantooth for his father, Robert Mandan. Roddy McDowell was being persued by Tammy Grimes, and when she finally tired of chasing him, he then got interested and began chasing her. Virginia Graham was also on the episode as a customer in the gift shop.
-
The two hour episode I watched had a gallery of guest stars: Raymond Burr as a drama teacher who had become an alcoholic, Michael Cole as a paraplegic, Kim Darby searching for her mystery lover on the boat, Bob Denver, Chris George, and David Landsberg as high school pals reunited on the boat, John Rubenstein as a draft dodger, and Michael Lembeck and Lisa Hartman as poor men copycats of Travolta and his partner from SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.
-
The last of the full episodes I watched had Richard Anderson as a former doctor who lost his arm in a wreck with his wife Diana Muldaur behind the wheel, Hans Conreid who offers Capt. Stubing a new job, and the gorgeous Ben Murphy trying to decide between Carol Lynley and Donna Pescow. Dr. Joyce Brothers had a cameo on the episode, too.
-
Did I miss the upcoming schedule for Break Out in Song Week?
http://www3.timeoutny.com/newyork/upstaged/2009/07/street-theater-break-out-in-song-this-week/
-
Next I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. As I thought, the new story arc for Luke and Noah was abandoned today and was not in the previews for tomorrow either.
-
I skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Nothing of interest.
-
And finally I watched tonight's BURN NOTICE. I like when Michael has to play MacGyver and come up with homemade remedies to get him out of tight spots. In this episode, he's kidnapped by some Russian toughs looking to settle an old score with him. A very fun episode.
-
Nothing of interest.
It sounds like the two-hour Love Boat episode had more than enough plot to make up for that!! :D
-
In the 15 minutes of the episode of THE LOVE BOAT that I started before shutting the home theater off for the night, the Mills family were guest stars: Hayley, Juliet, and John all playing parts in three different stories. John is Celeste Holm's butler. Also on board are Reggie Jackson (hiding out from fans) and David Hedison as Juliet Mills' ex-husband on board to celebrate their son's birthday.
-

And later on today, there's also the possibility of attending - and possibly participating in this:
Break Out In Song (http://www.breakoutinsong.com/)

*It's nice to see that they list all the people who participated in the event.

I saw somewhere that another Brady Bunch reunion "event" is in the planning stages.
-

Argh! All of the plots are fairly trite as far as the way they're handled. I mean, draft dodging is an interesting topic. So is the alcoholism of a popular teacher. But the scripts for the show aren't known for any probing depth or emotional truth. Everything is handled on the surface and wrapped up neatly by the end of the cruise.
Conchatta Ferrell was also on that episode playing an overweight gym teacher, and there were a lot of very un-PC fat jokes during the show that the laugh track was programmed to bust a gut about. These are the kinds of things that really date the show.
-
date the show
Thanks, but no thanks! ;)
-
Well, I need to head home. I'm driving a friend to the airport and I have to be at her house by 9:30 pm. :P Her flight leaves a little after midnight.
I agreed to drive her, but at least we're taking her car...and she has a CD player! ;D
-
Until later. :)
-
...and she has a CD player!
I find that Polka music is always a good choice.

Even if the Grammys did just drop that category.
