Shove your grammy up your @#$@!

Someone remind me to take my two Grammy's I won and either melt them down in to metal and sell it or sell them on e-bay. For those of you who don't know I won two Grammy's in 1996. One for best gangster rap album with Wacked-Out Jon and the Cadaver Dogs with "Bite Your Pillow Bitch." and Best Spoken Word Kid's Album with "Hey kids lets talk about the birds and the bees." After the last few years of Grammy nominations they are utterly useless. First we'll focus my anger on this year and then we will expand. First Dixie Chicks win the top three awards. Honestly who still listens to the Dixie Chicks, or did any one ever listen to them. People who honestly listen to country can't stand them and people who don't listen to country can't stand country. John Mayer nominated for best artist or something like that; who listens to that shit bag. Also, whats the deal with album and the year and record of the year. What is the difference. That is like the Academy Awards having a category for best film and one for best movie. The best new artist has been a joke for years but.... James Blunt has had that album out for three years, Imogen Heap (who??) has been making albums for 7 year, hardly new. Seriously some of the "artists," and I use that word lighlty nominated for various categories this year were Mary J Blige, John Mayer, Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood, Chris Brown, Pink, Black Eyed PEas and Fergie (both songs I think we randomly written by having a retarded deaf monkey draw random words out of a hat and then arrange them into a song), and Christina Aquilera (she's still making albums??) IF an alien came from another planet to do research on human's interest and development of music I think they would have thrown up from laughing so hard while watching the grammy's and then would have invaded earth the next day.

The GRammys are the only one of the three major awards (Emmy and Academy Awards) that consistently pick crap-tastic picks. Every year I could pick 30-40 artists better in every major genre than the ones that are selected. For example U2 has the most nominations all time. That should be the only point that needs to be made. The fact that 3 former American Idols have won bets new artist, Timberlake has been nominated every year, and Christina Aquilera has 5 nominations is only adding fuel to the fire. Every year, overall the Emmys and Academy Awards get it right, maybe a few exceptions. If someone wants to do know movies are good look at the academy award nominations and winners. If you want to know what t.v is good watch the emmys. The Emmy board even had the nerve of nominating Scrubs twice and giving best comedy to Arrested Development, even though no one watched the funniest show on television. (I'll have a rant about the Emmys when they are annoucned in a few months.) But if you want to know good music DO NOT look to the Grammy Awards. The pick artists that are "radio friendly" are played on 6 different stations in every city, are easy to listen to, are different from the mainstream, and are backed by huge money from large producers. (The producers and distributors get most of the money from selling cds and airplay) I personally think the companies pay of the Grammys to have their artists nominated so their sales go up. Some of the best music I have heard in the last 10 years is by artists: Coldplay, Arcade Fire, the Shins, Muse, Jay-Z; and none of these were ever nominated. (I think Coldplay was once for something like best directing in a video, and Jay-Z for best crack dealer turned musician.)

Someone with real musical taste needs to start their own awards show so poeple and visiting aliens can see and hear what is really good being made each year. We all know MTV tried their own awards show, and that is far far far worse.
