Big news! Bo Burnham has been nominated for another Grammy award! 🤯
It looks like his incredible box set for Inside Deluxe has been nominated for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package—congratulations, Bo!
And wow, he was one of the ART DIRECTORS? Clearly, there's nothing Bo can't do haha
If you're curious about Inside Deluxe, I've written a number of articles on the topic:
The hidden tracks (including secret messages on the records themselves and my best guess as to the lyrics)
Fun fact: The 54 Below performance of Comedy used the hidden track version of the song (the "I'll find a way" part)—SO cool to hear those lyrics sung live!
Red, Blue, Green (how the colors of the set relate to the internet among other things)
The color-changing covers (really cool to watch with a star projector like the one Bo uses in Welcome to the Internet)
The most difficult-to-discern lyrics (and my unboxing video!)
All the doodles people got in their box sets
And if you'd like to read about ALL of Bo's award wins for Inside, including his previous Grammy win for All Eyes On Me (LeVar Burton: Bo's not here, y'all), you can check out this compilation I created earlier in the year about accolades for his masterpiece.
Enjoy, and keep it here for more award show fun! ✌🏼🐔
i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)
I like how dropout shows often have an almost “filmed in front of a live studio audience” effect from simply having the crew obviously losing their minds off camera
