Macca? Now that's a low blow.

Those asshats don't like music. They like their gear and ritual and hiding in their man caves because the outside world and young people scare them.
So the music from their teenage years is just comfort food. Nothing will ever compare to it, so why bother.

No, I am legitimately hurt. I can't believe daved thinks I regularly spin Paul McCartney albums. I've been insulted a lot in my life. But I've never been accused of being a Macca listener. I'm now questioning all my life choices I feel like I need to go buy three copies of Ringo's Roto Rooter or whatever that album is called.

Yeah, and for 17 to be coming up with stuff like this is pretty awesome. Say what you want about the "anyone with a laptop can make an album" mindset. If this were true, where are all the geniuses on SHTV with their brilliant albums? C'mon. That's a classic Lon Von Eaton album! It's too good for the Grammy's.

If you’re judging modern music by what’s on the radio and what’s featured at the Grammys, then you’re doing it wrong. The majority of it sucks ass. The thing is, those guys are all old enough to know that. The Grammy's have never been particularly interesting to more than the casual radio listener. Radio has been horrible for at least forty years. I guess it's just been forty years since these guys have figured out how to find new music that interests them. I know Spotify doesn't have any audiophile qualities (but I still think it sounds great with what I listen to, but I don't have the ears, Bucko), but it's only ten bucks a month and every week it will suggest things you might like. You don't have to do anything except listen to music and it's inevitable you'll hear something new you like. It's like someone holding your hand. I don't think it can be made easier. Dopes. All of 'em.

What? They didn’t give the awards to Glenn Miller? For shame.

Ugh, you are all usually pretty cool but Billie Eilish is just horribly derivative pap. And she’s a mouseketeeresque invention of her shrewd stage parents. Disappointed.

Back to Ringo's RotoRooter for you.

Heh. The new barometer for musical success is how many people you can fool, apparently.

I'm not sure I believe any of the story of Billie and Finneas and how they came up with their shit.

What’s even more hilarious is the outcry from Lana Del Rey fans saying she was robbed! Another vapid corporate shill who obviously failed to make a bigger contribution.

But it’s the Grammys. It’s all corporate nonsense. Pretty much the whole point of it. Pop is mindless. It’s supposed to be. The real shame was there was no retrospective for our favorite mailbox/label.

I don’t think I have ever watched any kind of awards show, beauty pageant, RRHOF banquet, or other sort of “entertainment” where people I don’t give a shit about applaud other people I don’t give a shit about for doing something I don’t give a shit about.
I’m not being facetious.
Honestly, who gives a fuck about celebrities being celebrities? Watching paint dry must be more exciting than seeing what fashions the overdressed glitterati are pimping.
Instead of laughing at the SHites bemoaning the current state of popular entertainment, we should be laughing at them for actually watching the awards shows in the first place.
