And Joe Strummer died with an album unfinished, though he didn't see it coming. But yeah, it's not one of the more sought-after awards. 34822@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Jan 2004 22:14:40 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/01/01/114430.php#comment-34796 I was surprized how many of these rekkids I'd actually got this year, and liked, but given the general state of "meh" with music this past year I didn't really get excited about. I liked these albums, but nothing really got me excited -- like "wow this is the best record I've ever heard!" excited. And I can't imagine "Best Record by a Dying Artist" is a hotly contested category. Though I bet a couple of managers have suggested it to their suckers, I mean, clients. 34796@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 Jan 2004 17:33:22 EST
