KT Tunstall and the Grammys
I can’t believe KT Tunstall wasn’t even nominated for “Best New Artist”. But when you consider that this is the category that brought us such musical geniuses as A Taste of Honey and Milli Vanilli, perhaps it was a compliment.
Pundits like to point out that we are a deeply divided nation, and they’re right. There’s us - people who like interesting, intelligent, creative and original music - and them - people who like Christina Aguilera. And it’s one of the great tragedies of democracy that we can’t round them up and shoot them for their appalling taste.
