Tha Carter III: Best Album Nominees ’09

The 2009 Grammys were weird as hell. Matt and Tim cover that weirdness in great depth before digging into the especially weird Best Album category. Robert Plant and Allison Krauss won that year, and Ne-Yo was there too. But Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III gets the Spin nod here and man is he as odd as ever. After Weezy discussion, Matt goes fully in his bag and gets to talk about Radiohead’s In Rainbows and, finally, Coldplay and Viva La Vida. He’s got an uphill battle with Tim, tune in to see if he can pull off that Coldplay best exemplifies the 2009 of it all.
