My Grammys Rant - Cause Why the Fuck Not

Reasons to Hate the Grammys 

# 1) Realizing everyone has completely gotten over the Chris "The Tenderizer" Brown woman beating fiasco. But even more disgustingly young women the world over are now "like totally into being beaten if it means being "beaten" by Chris Brown". A quick message to the millions of fathers: "you have failed and you have failed horribly".

Uz Crazy

The Fuck !?!

# 2) Realizing this up-and-coming generation is completely doomed. Now this is pretty vague and I could use this entry to point out the monotonous trash kids call music these days or just point to the above entry to reiterate. Instead I'll just let these series of tweets speak for me. It's not like I'm hoping for these people to know who Jules Verne is, it's Paul McCartney for crying out loud. But probably more importantly if you don't know the person take the 10 seconds to Google it instead of complaining, educate yourselves for f**k's sake.

The Reason (1) Why the Grammys aren't an Abomination

# 1) Amazing artists getting recognition. Last year Arcade Fire made the rounds as they took home Album of the Year, and everyone except those with good tastes asked, "Who the hell is Arcade Fire". I can only hope a handful of people took it upon themselves to find out and wound up discovering some great music and  promptly abandoned The Black Eyed Peas and Justin Bieber altogether. This year something very similar happened when Bon Iver won for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album. If you have never heard of Bon Iver you are missing out on some of the greatest music on the planet. Please do yourself a favor have a listen and maybe just maybe I'll convert just one person to good music, that will be enough. 

#1 Extended) Skrillex gets his; winning Best Dance Recording, Best Electronic/ Dance Album and Best Remixed Recording. Now this particular artist is an acquired tastes I'll give you that. But what has become known as Dub-step has had a surprising surge of popularity. One of its identifying markers is its inclusion of what have become lovingly known as heavy drops; in where the music cuts out for a second and is followed by what some may call abrasive or even outright abusive beats. Give it a listen, because really why not, but be forewarned lower your volume and brace yourself.
