The most puzzling thing about U2's multiple Grammy wins (they stopped Coldplay from winning anything etc. etc.) is not that they won so many, but that they didn't do so last year, when they only won awards for Vertigo, depite their album being released before the 2005 nominations. Was this a deliberate move to avoid having to actually leave them out this year?
Meanwhile 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' is also in the running for a Brit for Best International Album for the second year running, making its November release look like a brilliant move.
edit: I've been usefully informed (as I probably should have researched anyway) that the deadline for nominations is a while before they are announced and happened to fall between the single and album releases. Which just favours the idea of it being brilliant marketing I guess.

[off-topic] did you receive my text message after new year's day? [/off-topic]
Nope, afraid not!
Oh..well, my unreliable mobile phone suggested otherwise.
In any case, happy belated holidays to you, your family and loved ones, then! (now I know why there was no response...do you have to pay extra in order to be able to txt overseas?)
