Grammy-Talk!

The Grammy's are about a month away. The nominees have been announced and people are taking their picks. I'm going to put my money on Lady Gaga to win everything. Even the awards she's not nominated for. Just 'cause.

Current Grammy News:
1. Arcade Fire at the Grammy's! Not only will the large group of Canuks be performing, but they're also nominated for not one, not two but three Grammy's this year, including Album of the Year, up against Eminem's Recovery and Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster. Hmmm...Tough. 

2. The Recording Academy has announced that along with Arcade Fire, Eminem, Cee Lo, and Katy Perry will also be performing. As well as....wait for it...Lady Gaga! What will she sing?! Better yet, what will she wear?! 

3. Stephen Colbert forced a sell-out off between Vampire Weekend and The Black Keys to gain his vote for Best Alternative Music Album. As Colbert won the Best Comedy Album last year for A Colbert Christmas, he is entitled to vote for this year's nominees. He decided that the best alternative bands came between the NYC indie darlings and the Ohio-based blues-rock duo. He chose to settle the debate by seeing which band has music featured in more commercials. He brought out VW's Ezra Koenig and both Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney of the Keys. Best part is when Ezra is challenged by Patrick, grabs a bat and says: “I'm gonna bash those ironic glasses right through your skull.” To which Dan replies, “Bring it on Cape Cod!” Ha, love it! You can watch the clip here.

Don't forget to tune in on February 13th at 8pm for “music's greatest honor.” Or not.
