The Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps soundtrack. Given the abominable unpopularity of the banking community in the wake of the great financial hullabaloo of autumn 2008, most people would probably prefer it if the soundtrack to any new movie about Wall Street was dominated by the noise of guillotine blades swooshing in rapid downward trajectories, banker’s heads rolling loose from their bodies and their blood sloshing down the famed Manhattan locale in a humungous scarlet tsunami of evil, greedy sh*tbaggery. As it happens this is not the aural accompaniment chosen for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps – unsurprisingly given that its backers at Fox clearly fancy their Shia and Carey-led movie as a rather marketable affair (it is a film wreathed in product placement, including, most bizarrely, particular prominence being given to a well-known brand of crisps seconds before a character kills himself. Delightful connotation, no?).

Today, we look at the only alternative music category in the Grammys: best alternative music album. Best Alternative Music Album: "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today,” David Byrne and Brian Eno “The Open Door,” Death Cab for Cutie “Sounds of the Universe,” Depeche Mode “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix,” Phoenix “It’s Blitz!,” Yeah Yeah Yeahs Not a good year for alternative music—at least not the limited vision of alternative music recognized by Grammy voters. Why the heck aren't the Decemberists, Grizzly Bear and Passion Pit in this category? Instead, we get an Ep from Death Cab for Cutie that has far less heft...
