Random Thoughts Re: Grammy's
I had some random thoughts about music today. Not really right for the shameless self-promotion social networks, so I'll put them here.
So, in no particular order:
- Dear Lady Gaga. You seem to have a lot of fame for only one album of accomplishment. Please focus more on the production of music over the production of your productions.
- Dear Lady Antebellum. I don't know why you all swept the music snobbery popularity contest. You're not country, you're not pop, you're not even anything resembling original. You're the Nashville equivalent of elevator music. Enjoy your 15 minutes.
- Who the hell is Justin Beiber?
- Dear Cee Lo. I was DJing and saw, sadly on mute, your performance with Gweneth Paltrwo & the Muppets. Awesome. Way to give Elton the nod, and keep up your geek cred. While I really only saw the highlight coverage of the Grammys on the news, I am sure yours was the best part, hands down.
- Dear Eminem. I plan on picking up your new album, I hear great things. Sadly, you still seem to be a sore loser and not well suited for these events. Just respond via satellite and go back to making poignant commercials about Detroit.
- Arcade Fire. I still don't get it. You're an OK band, I have at this point listened to all your work and can only really say I like a sum total of 3 songs. If I want the type of music you allegedly represent in your genre, I'll play the Decemberists or Florence & the Machine, thanks.
....and that's me for today. Happy V-day.
