The nominees have been announced for the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. Despite not releasing an album this year, and winning a lot of awards last year, Green Day has again been nominated, this time for their collaboration with U2. The track, "The Saints are Coming" was a performance of a track by the Skids with proceeds directed to Katrina relief efforts.

Other nominees include Death Cab for Cutie (Best Long Form Music Video, Best Pop Performance), Underoath and the Killers (Best Short Form Music Video), Mastodon, Slayer and Ministry (Best Metal Performance), The Flaming Lips (Best Rock Instrumental, Best Engineered) and Elvis Costello (Best Pop)

Neil Young's new political album also earned a number of nominations. We mention this because Adam White would be offended if we didn't.
