Won: All of them.

Green Day nominated for:

• Record Of The Year (Boulevard Of Broken Dreams)

Won: Record Of The Year.

Last year, Green Day were nominated in 6 categories and only won the Best Rock Album Grammy for American Idiot. This year, they did a better one and won the Record Of The Year, the only category they were nominated in.

Meanwhile, U2 continued their clean sweep as they did last year by winning 6 Grammys this time, or 5 if you don’t count the Producer of the Year award. Last year, they won 3 Grammys in 3 categories.

Bono must be a real charming arse to be on this streak. But hey, rock lives. That’s all the matter for me.

One quick glance on the cover and you thought it was Green Day’s American Idiot album.

Look again.

I’ve only downloaded one song, Boulevard of Broken Songs (the server’s pretty slow). It sounds like the mashed-up version of Green Day + Oasis + Travis + Eminem some time back. I don’t know how the rest of American Edit sound like. If you like Green Day (I do) and into all these remixes stuff (I don’t I actually think they’re quite good, after a few listen. Very clean and professional editing.), check it out.

Update 29/11/2005: Looks like the site is dead. Oh well…

Update 17/12/2005: The site is back up again, with new cover arts for the CD. I couldn’t find the link for the song downloads though.
