Holy balls! My brother Ben Wendel has been nominated for a 2010 Grammy Award!!!

Ben and his band Kneebody collaborated with the multi-talented Theo Bleckmann on Twelve Songs by Charles Ives, which the Grammy peeps named a contender for “Best Classical Crossover Album.”

Theo and the Kneebuddies are up against powerhouse musicians like Yo-Yo Ma and Béla Fleck. If they win, I will pee on something with excitement. If they don’t win, I will jump up on stage like Kanye West at the VMAs and start mouthing off. Watch yo back, Yo-Yo. Just sayin’.

Congratulations, Ben!
