Spin is on the case

http://www.spin.com/articles/al-walser-explains-how-he-got-a-grammy-nomination

"In a handful of interviews since, Walser has staunchly denied there's any funny stuff behind his sudden appearance alongside such boldface names. And he says his status as a Grammy voter only goes so far to help gathering votes. But he acknowledges the role of connections with other voters has played in his surprising nomination."

this dude is legitimately a hero

mentioned in the other thread, but worth mentioning again

too bad they keep misspelling Liechtenstein, oh well

new non-rejected screen name

http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2012/12/al_walser_grammy_nominee_edm.php (other link was page 2)

i wonder if he really is a Rotschild? like related to thé Rotschild family? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothschild_family) that could somehow explain him getting access to Michael Jackson (assuming that's true)

on that Drunk Drunk Drunk ep there's an a capella (!!!) version that's almost Jandekian in the verses. (ok i'll shut up now)

OMG according to this French article, he is the grandson of Congolese superlegend Franco!

according to this he will attend the grammy ceremony wearing a space suit

memes are ruining memes now

would be down with it, if the astronaut suit had a Liechtenstein flag.

haters gonna hate, i think this is probably true "In fact, Walser's network is something he told MTV News he's worked very diligently to build over the years."

even though networking is probably all he can really do :)

looks like he's on cocain though. so the dealer thing still can't be ruled out

Al didn't win the Grammy :-(

He'll always be the Swiss-born Liechtensteinian singer, songwriter, DJ and record producer of my heart.

HE WUZ ROBBED!

at least we got this

Other artists signed to Cut the Bull include the Glamour Girls, a.k.a. Naughty, Busty, and Spunky, a trio of lingerie-clad performers billed as the "sexiest Dj's allive" (sic).

What a hero! Swoon.
