Why are we even discussing the Grammys? They're meaningless.

However, Fountains of Wayne being nominated for Best New Artist nearly ten years after forming was the best.

But then they'd make a movie about them.

DRANK

The fact that Flo Rida, Relapse, and UMC were even nominated is embarrassing. I liked The Ecstatic more, but I hope Q-tip gets a nod just because he deserves it.

Anyway, I'm listening to the new R. Kelly album, and it's actually pretty good.

For laughs, the 52nd Grammy Awards nominations: http://www.grammy.com/grammy_awards/52nd_show/list.aspx

MGMT gets mentioned a few times for an album that's over two years old (including a Best New Artist nom), which is nice, I guess.

Yeah, wtf at MGMT and the Ting Tings getting "best new artist"? They're both old as dirt.

Apparently our very own mod gets a nomination under "Best Americana Album", whatever the hell that means. And naturally, the picks for dance music suck ass this year.

Black Eyed Peas

Also Pat Metheny on Kenny G overdubbing his music on Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" (an excerpt from a larger rant)

Quote

But when Kenny G decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing all over one of the great Louis's tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that I would not have imagined possible. He, in one move, through his unbelievably pretentious and calloused musical decision to embark on this most cynical of musical paths, shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present who have risked their lives by going out there on the road for years and years developing their own music inspired by the standards of grace that Louis Armstrong brought to every single note he played over an amazing lifetime as a musician. By disrespecting Louis, his legacy and by default, everyone who has ever tried to do something positive with improvised music and what it can be, Kenny G has created a new low point in modern culture - something that we all should be totally embarrassed about - and afraid of. We ignore this, "let it slide", at our own peril.

I absolutely love the chorus and the backing vocals. I'm usually not into upbeat music but this, this I like. I think I'm slowly turning into a hipster.

It's once again that time of year! By that, I mean the time of year where I pretty much listen to nothing but the fifth disc of Sufjan Stevens' Christmas Song boxset.

Didn't even realize that he had a Christmas boxset. Might have to look into that....

I don't like it. Sort of sounds like she's trying to update her sound and yet her original sound was timeless. Now the production sounds absolutely average. Its almost like she went home one day and jammed on her synthesizer and put that shit through Fruity Loops.

This is real good. Nice sense of progression for each track (which is what turned me off to Trance in the first place, musicians usually rely on extending a beat way too long). Definitely getting this album.

Third

the ending reminds me of the first track on Third. I'm all getting into it, hoping the groove will last for another 5 minutes or so, then *snip* it's over.

fucking awesome song though.

Well, I gave it 3 full listens and I'm not feeling much different $:-\$

It's like a shitty fusion of the most annoying and indulgent elements of MGMT and MPP-style Animal Collective. Both groups sorta test my tolerance for puerility in vocals and style, but this is too much for me. What really sucks is when I heard the first track I was like, "Oh shit, this is all eerie and dark and awesome, this is going to be great," and then all auspiciousness proved wrong as soon as it went 1000 miles in the opposite fucking direction with Ambling Alp.

I think it'd be cool if the pursued the sound they have going on the slower, moodier stuff (The Children, Strange Reunions), but I don't like their brand of upbeat hipster pop. Even worse, the radical change in direction makes it seem like they're just trend-hopping.

I dunno. I kinda have a proclivity for capriciousness when it comes to music, so maybe I'll be gushing about it 2 weeks from now, but somehow I doubt it. Huge disappointment for me
