ALL “PUMPED UP” WITH NOWHERE TO GO: “It’s not every day that an electronic music producer is named as a Best New Artist contender” The Hollywood Reporter’s Shirley Halperin noted. “Actually, as DJs go, it’s never happened, which make Los Angeles native Skrillex’s five (!) Grammy nods all the more unexpected. Pundits point to name recognition among the elder Recording Academy membership. Could be, or maybe those voters’ kids are to thank… Maybe Skrillex snatched the Best New Artist spot from L.A. band Foster the People, whose omnipresent ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ was a staple of radio stations both terrestrial and satellite across multiple genres. The newcomers didn’t go entirely unrecognized, however. They’re up for Best Alternative Album against Death Cab for Cutie, Bon Iver, My Morning Jacket and Radiohead.” (12/1a)
