    Funeral might not be my favorite album of all time, but it is certainly the top album for me to just listen to over and over. I just can not get tired of it.

    Really glad Esperanza Spalding won for best new artist. I've heard a couple recordings of her stuff and the girl is amazing.

    It's times like this where I wish I'd subscribed to spotify. Goddamn dogshit quality audio on youtube.

    Still, I'm enjoying this! Arcade Fire are one of those bands I refused to listen to for a while because a douchey coworker wouldn't shut up about them.

    Love Arcade Fire. Saw them in concert and they were great.

    Should we be hurt that such big names in music as Rosie O'Donnel and Dog the Bounty Hunter not know who they are?

    Funeral is a really, really beautiful album. I tend to overlisten to it and ruin the magic, but when I'm in the right mood I don't think there's any non-instrumental album that I enjoy one-tenth as much.

    wait ok looking at this list of who won right now

    couldn't find big boi anywhere. not even nominated for best rap album?

    i mean i know the grammies are a joke but come on

    shutterbugg was nominated for best rap song or something

    but yeah, it's pretty sad

    Best rap performance by a group or duo...

    They couldn't fit him in the best rap song category, because they were too busy giving Jay and Eminem two nominations each.

    sometimes when bands sign to a label they change their sound entirely for many possible reasons

    and sometimes you don't like their new sound.

    sometimes.

    So the Grammys actually are terrible? Because I saw a little and thought they seemed terrible.

    At least they were dignified enough not to give Justin Bieber one.

    To be fair for many, many people "Becoming Popular" is synonymous with "Selling Out".

    But some people just want to make music, man.

    This is the thing. If someone becomes popular or successful, they are decried by a certain subset of people. Those people are retarded.

    Also I saw on CNN today something about how everyone was shocked at the Grammys snubbing Bieber.

    "No, not really."

    How could any song possibly beat the obvious first-place tie of Neighborhood #1 and Wake Up?

    That said, the middle of Suburbs (City With No Children through, and especially, Suburban War) is absolutely fantastic.

    If the commercials for his movie are anything to be believed (be-beibed?) he can play a variety of instruments.

    What makes Ludachris so awesome is that he always announces himself in a song when he comes in, but only the first part, like pika pika pika chuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
