Re: selling music

I wouldn't say it's WON by sales, but a musician has to do something unusual 
in order to be noticed by the committee.  The easiest way to get noticed is 
to have huge sales, especially when nobody expects it.  That likely makes a 
very positive impression.  I mean, if you're successful without all that 
corporate cash behind your promotion effort, then you must be the real 
thing, right?

The Coen Brothers are crazy, eccentric geniuses.  The VH1 guy asked them how 
the Grammy's were different from the Oscars and they said, "The music's 
better."
