Two cents here
But the Chems like nothing more than free publicity, even though these awards will never be aired when given out. Lucky if they even win one despite having their most ambitious album since their DYOH nomination.

Nice brothers, finally some sort of official recognition (not that they'd need it)! Let's see if they can get at least one.

Not bad! I think they have a shot at either single or album... It's hard to say because I think Rufus Du Sol is a lock for one of those too. Fun fact, I was at the very show Rufus Du Soul played Underwater for the first time. Blew my mind!

I'm shocked Tycho's Weather got nominated and Floating Points didn't. Weather is alright but it feels like a nomination for Tycho and not the album, it's far from his best or most holistic work.

Although I have been acting like a resentful child towards Tom and Ed lately, I will be delighted to be happy for them if they win at least one of the nominations. Because No Geography is a very very infulencing record.
Fingers crossed!

Surely Best Music Video will be aired no matter who wins it? (Or am I stuck in the 80s?)
The other bits (dance categories) in the pre-awards cermony get broadcast on the internet IIRC. I watched it before on my laptop.

Woot, woot! Not that I know for myself that their music is awesome, it's nice to see them getting some commercial recognition again!

Congrats, Tom and Ed, much deserved! But so that you guys know, this doesn't mean you can stop right there!!! Gotta keep on!

to be fair, the other nominees really didn't provide much competition.

I'm going to be optimistic and hope that they will want to ride the success of the Grammy win and follow it with some US dates.

Congrats fellas!

Outside of recognition, is there a legit benefit to winning a Grammy?

I mean I know it once use to mean something in "big box" electronic type stores, because they would categorize their cd department with grammy nominated albums and provide grammy winners with stickers around this time of year. Thing is, most of these stores have eliminated physical music sales from in-store purchase due to poor sales.
