There just doesn’t seem to be any room at the table for the rock/psych/indie/alt/whatever-you-want-to-call-it folks anymore. That bums me out.

I would argue with you if I had any fucking idea what point you were trying to make.

But The Dixie Chicks put out a very good album (even if it was far from their best) in a moment where they were cherished by the liberal media. I’ll forever be citing Beck’s snoozer of an indie-folk album winning over BEYONCÉ – BEYONCÉ as why the Grammys are totally devoid of meaning.

You need to start comments like this with a #malegaze warning.

Taylor maybe has a human under her sparkly armor, but it’s hard to say. I just someone at iTunes leaks her purchase history and outs her as a fake.

Miley says she’s gender fluid & pansexual — so basically “ain’t no thing” when it comes to sex. Her performance last night skewed heavily weeded Deeee-Lite-core drag queen. I’d say, tho, whether he intended to or not, Bieber — at the show & in the video — perfected a gender fluid presentation. He’s beautifully androgynous & makes effortless transitions between feminine and masculine.

I don’t hate her but she was seriously so so cringe-inducing as a host

Agreed. The 20/20 Experience is not good. FutureSex/LoveSounds, though, is some next level shit.

It wasn’t.

The fact that The Dixie Chicks won album of the year in 07 is all you need to know about the Grammy’s. It doesn’t mean shit.

Also fuck The 20/20 Experience, a total regression. If it weren’t the height of poptomism that year it would get more shade.

Kanye is a bit like the proverbial broken clock that way. Except broken in a way that makes it spin out of control but is still right sometimes!

It’s like he realized “holy shit my career’s–and I’m–not dead.” But I also view it as a temporary reprieve from the inevitable crash that’s coming for him and nearly already claimed him. The kind of hopeful moment that makes you think, maybe this time it’ll work even when you already know where the path is headed. It’s basically the end of Eternal Sunshine only with Diplo, Skrillex, and music.

“wondering why FutureSex/LoveSounds didn’t win a Grammy,”

Look, I’m not saying his speech/rant wasn’t pretty all over the place, but there are definitely moments of truth in it and this is one.

01. #yeezy2020
02. Kanye dancing to Can’t Feel My Face
03. Bieber defying the gender binary

Glad it was only two hours!

Can these people not see Nicki’s big ass smile right before the camera cuts to Miley on her stage? I thought Nicki was serious for about the 2 seconds before I saw the smile. So obviously manufactured.

What are the odds on Miley singing on a future Nicki Minaj release?
