Randall Roberts' piece on being inside the Grammy press room for the first time was a somewhat intriguing slice-of-journalists'-mundane-lives take on interviewing the winners of the Feb. 8 awards show, with tidbits about access ($400 for a DSL hookup?!) and quotes that didn't make it out to the wire...

Look, I know Idolator used to be owned by Gawker. But if we really were the Gawker of the music industry, you would have seen so much coverage of Clive Davis' Grammy party. You would hear where it was, who was playing, who was invited, who wasn't invited, who sat next to who, and how you could crash...

You have to feel bad for the guy, and the way his arguably more innovative digital-distribution methods keep getting lost in the shuffle over to peoples' regular Radiohead-worshiping sessions... until you realize that his rabid fanbase probably isn't going to desert him en masse just because he didn...

Welcome to Idolator's liveblog of the 2009 Grammy Awards, a year in which there will be more spectacle and less award-doling than ever. Well, at least it seems that way: The 3 1/2-hour telecast will have no more than 10 brass gramophones handed out during its running time, presumably because the mus...

The Grammy Awards are right around the corner, and figuring out the Grammy voters' somewhat lunatic hivemind is a Sisyphean task (Marc Cohn? Steely Dan? Jethro Tull?). When I need answers in times of great uncertainty like these, I turn to beings of superior logic: Robots. I brought together a round...

Do you have your Grammy office pools all straight? And your face paint? And the big tub of guacamole for the nobody who's coming to your Grammy party? And by "Grammy party" I mean "watch a few highlights on YouTube while picking pretzel crumbs from your lap"? Well, you're ready to check out the seco...

I don't know about you, my morning was brightened when I saw a bunch of blog posts about there reportedly being a Katy Perry nude pic floating around the Internet. "Hasn't she done this already?" people asked me about the oh-so-annoying singer upon hearing the news. Well, no, she hasn't, and guess w...

Welcome to Idolator's live-blogging of the inaugural Grammy Nominations Concert, which apparently kicks off the countdown to "music's biggest night." (Wait, I thought music's biggest night was going to be the Presidential inauguration next year?) Anyway, join me, the Foo Fighters, Celine Dion, Taylo...

Tonight, the Grammys try to stoke some excitement for their February broadcast—and the record industry in general—with an hour-long nomination special featuring Taylor Swift, John Mayer, the Foo Fighters (above), and Christina Aguilera, among others. We'll be right here at 9 p.m. ET&mdas...
