Also, what a crazy Grammy. Best New Artist pick, Arcade Fire winning album of the year... Black Keys winning it all...

We all hate the Grammys except when we don't, and last night we didn't.

Terrence Russell Adams and Myself -- took on the task of live-blogging the whole shitstorm.

Big Ups to Carney and the Keys. Deserved.

not even dog the bounty hunter or rosie o'donnell's tweeting about it surprised me as much as:

People will say what they want but I just want to thank the Grammys for introducing me to my favorite metal band, Jethro Tull.

Useless fact - of the 109 Grammy Awards given out, only 11 were shown on the telecast.

Harvilla's write-up is spot-on.
Insightful and smart as hell.

I may read it again.

It was fitting to return to the Grammys with a 13 year old in the room. The last time I thought they were for real I was probably 9 years old and I think Billy Joel won album of the year for 52nd Street (so, understandably I was already suspicious, then).

I can only watch the industry suck its own dick for so long with prurient interest. They look very excited about it though. I'll give it another 30 years.

Thumbs up for the Black Keys.

As far as the Arcade Fire goes, I think you might be able to make a link between the disappearance of the protagonist in Eddie and the Cruisers and their recent emergence. I think that's Eddie.

It's far more plausible than 14 art students getting together to reconstruct Eddie and the Cruisers. Someone give me the real scoop.

As Duffy said a few post up I think it is crazy that the Grammy went to an indie label.

Death to Majors. :twisted:

maybe TNV in '12

and yeah the Arcade Fire are bad but so are many other people

and Yeah- Merge is a great label but I honestly can't make a valid evaulation of Arcade Fire; there's just too much proactive interference in the rock and roll concsiousness that, for whatever reason, Arcade Fire doesn't permeate (and trying to achieve tabula rasa via pbr saturation in order to allow a new artist a fair shake was an idiotic idea that brought home about as much bacon as slamming a bowl of colon blow with a few shots of nyquil).

I returned to their first record the other night and it doesn't suck. I'm just not moved one way or the other; which is bizarre considering the emotion they appear to elicit. It's like, "Yeah there's a band over there. Sounds like something a lot of people would like." Maybe they're poets and I'm dead inside.

So, yeah: Go Merge, TNV for 2012 and down with the big man.

Roc Nation's Steve Stoute's Open Letter to the Grammy's saying that Justin Bieber not winning represents cultural bias er I mean usuary.
