The Grammy Awards

[richard_daily]

So I went to a spa, and was sitting around, and the Grammys were on. The sound was off (thankfully), and they had closed captions on.

Nearly every single song was a terrible, vapid love song that read like it was written by the same 1990s computer program.

With the exception of Annie Lennox (who I would marry in a heartbeat), not a single one of the performers had a shred of talent.

I realize that this isn't anything new, and that mainstream music has by and large sucked for just about forever... but this brief foray into pop culture reminded me why record sales are plummeting, and no how these are the last vestiges of a desperate and self-inflated industry of fools and clowns.

So... what's the last album you bought?

Vapid love songs are my favorite. Geez.

Last one I bought was Slipknot's .5: The Gray Chapter

cool's eternal, but it's always dated.

and i have no idea. seriously. can't remember. it might have been brian eno's another green world, but i'm just guessing. it's been a bit.

 

[Disgustipated]

The new ...and you will know us by the trail of the dead. It's pretty darn good.

 

[pointless]

now stealing on the other hand....

Richard? Youre committed to ROB, did you forget?

I loved the Michael Brown salute, and Kanye is always a joy when he scolds white people.

 

[dolf]

I don't own music. I rarely listen to any.

all I know about the Grammies is that Kanye is a douche.

I don't remember what my last album was, but I know what my next album will be. I'm buying Michael Martin Murphy's album The Horse Legends. It was my first album and I'm feeling sentimental.

 

[Fata Morgana]

I honestly can't remember. I think it might have been Robert Plant's The Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar.

I have on pre-order The Staves new one If I Was.

[Riles]

A Tom Waits collection that I can't remember what it was titled.

 

[Not Normal]

I didn't watch and don't really care (I was once a voting member of NARAS by the way).

I will leave this photo I took at a studio of known producer in Nashville.

did it have swordfish trombones on it? frank's wild years? rain dogs? if no who exactly did you murder and do you need any help murdering anyone else?

That's fuckin' righteous.

Grammy's Sucked!!!!! Whenever Taylor Swift doesn't win even one award then I am extremely upset and think that the voting is a sham!! TAYLOR SWIFT RULES!!!

 

[pointless]

gross.

 

[DesEsseintes]

Deo Gracias Anglia, by Alamire. Everything they do is brilliant.

 

[Not Normal]

That's fuckin' righteous.

I though so. I never asked him about it it, but to me it's like "Yea, I've got Grammys, here's where they belong."

Amazing...

 

[islandman]

Jesus Jones' debut.

 

[PayDay]

The last CD I bought new was 10,000 Days back in 2006, only just classic cassettes and records since.

Grammy's Sucked!!!!! Whenever Taylor Swift doesn't win even one award then I am extremely upset and think that the voting is a sham!! TAYLOR SWIFT RULES!!!

I have never heard her music or read anything about this girl---^ but her marketing campaign has been following me for two years and I don't even watch TV. It's a creepy stalker.

I'm very close to searching her name for 'has been quoted as saying' just to find out why.

 

[Laurel]

That's fuckin' righteous.

YES.

Grammy's Sucked!!!!! Whenever Taylor Swift doesn't win even one award then I am extremely upset and think that the voting is a sham!! TAYLOR SWIFT RULES!!!

Grammys, not Grammy's. No possessive.

I like them.

I just realized I haven't bought a new record in a while.

That's very shameful.
