Yesterday was a popular awards show called ‘The Grammys.’ From what I understand, this awards system is supposed to ‘award’ the best music of the year. It seems like it is some sort of ’system to perpetuate the popularity + album sales of the same artists/labels/bands/etc.’
As I have read alternative coverage of the Grammys/all mainstream award shows, it seems like these are the ‘prevalent themes.’
Indie music ‘has arrived.’
The Grammys aren’t ‘honoring’ the ‘best’ indie music
Indie music has been ’stolen’ from ‘us’ and
__________ (mnstrm artist) sux
The Grammys are ‘irrelevant bullshit’
Phoenix won ‘Best Alternative Music Album.’ Not sure what that award title means/who was in the category. I feel like maybe the French bros in Phoenix didn’t realize that Americans ‘get dressed up’ for our awards shows. Maybe they thought it was an MTV/Nickelodeon kidz award show.
Kings of Leon won 3 Grammys for their hit song “Use Somebody”, confirming that it is the vulnerable mnstrm anthem of the year/decade/century. I think they are in the genre of rock, since their award titles were ‘Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group’, ‘Best Rock Song’ and the prestigious ‘Record Of The Year’.
MGMT also went to the Grammys, but they were sort of just ‘nominated’ and probably just looked like a ‘zany one hit wonder band’ to mainstreamers.
I think they also gave Stephen Colbert a Grammy just to ‘get more hits/coverage.’
Here is more coverage of ‘mainstream pop culture’ at the Grammys.
I think this is the broad from the popular MTV show ‘Jersey Shore.’ I am not sure if she won a Grammy, or if she is just there for being Macrofamous.
This is apparently her live-in boyfriend, The Situation. Wonder if that show was a ‘mainstream hit’ or just another ‘micro-sensation’ like The Office.
The middle Jonas brother tries 2 ‘look alt’ by growing strategic facial scruff + putting on sillie framed glasses.
Apparently the post-tween Jonas Brother married a guidette after the ‘Jersey Shore’ wave of 2k9k10. Seems ill-advised, like the same as ‘marrying a pog/beanie babie/digipet.’
Popular American Idol homosexual sensation Adam Lambert.
Unpopular American Idol nonsensation Justin Guarini.
I think this crazy African American man was there because he was created as an ‘off beat’ character by the popular Fox TV show American Idol. Sort of like the ‘Negro William Hung.’
I think the Black Eyed Peas are the last remaining soldiers in the Electro War. Like a lost group of fighters who no1 told that the war is over, but they are still on the Battlefield.
Apparently Lady Gaga had some performance with Sir Elton John.
It seems like you ‘have to invite her’ to any award show for the next 50 years, just to see her wear something zany.
Wonder how she transports her costumes. Suitcases? Rubermaid containers?
Popular Bro Comedy superstars from the Andy Samberg Lonely Island Viral Video Productions Centre.
I think Taylor Swift still thinks that ‘awards are real.’ She seems proud. As time moves forward, more people will ’sympathize’ with Kanye West, sort of like the Kobe Vs. Shaq feud.
I think the Grammys is an opportunity for Cool Dads to bond with their kids.
Or for Cool Dads to just have a ‘bros night out.’
Does n e 1 know if Musicians get Dental Insurance, or do they just cover their teeth with blingee jewels?
CONTINUE READING>>>>
Zany free spirited mom lady. (progressive bag lady)/(Lady Gaga in 2-20 years)
Wonder if Mario Lopez will ever ‘recover’ from being A.C. Slater.
Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife (formerly married to Tom Cruise)
Their spawn, tween sensation Miley Cyrus.
Do yall remember the song ‘Sonny Came Home’ by Shawn Colvin? Apparently she is still ‘relevant’ in the mainstream industry.
Think Stephen Colbert probs made some sort of ‘topical’ iPad joke.
Jamie Foxx performed ‘in character’ as his Academy award winning role ‘Ray Charles (ft T-Pain).’
Do yall think Uffie is ‘rolling around in her bloghouse grave after Ke$ha got so popular?
Popular Twilight-era rock band Paramore.
Popular teen angst band Linkin Park.
2 Bros with shit eating grins.
Zooey Deschanel shows off her bangs + back.
The Britney Spears + her BF Kevin Federline
Project Runway lady + her husband, Seal, singer of ‘Kiss from a Rose.’
Stevie Nicks ’sells her soul’ 2 appeal to the Tween Market. Wonder if she saw an iTunes sale bump
Michael Jackson’s kids were ‘carted out’ to preserve the memory of their father, the recently assassinated Michael Jackson. I think that is ‘Blanket’ and Paris Jackson.
Feel like the creepiest bros of the night were their cousins, who look like Michael Jackson (with nose job + black skin)
Creeped out, like they are some sort of hologram image.
Still really crushing on Paris Jackson. like I need to ‘buy stock’ in her before she turns into a teen fashion icon/does tons of drugs/gains lots of weight/marries Macaulay Culkin.
Did u watch the Grammys?
Will Vampire Weekend win a Grammy in 1-2 years?
Are the Kings of Leon the next Rolling Stones?
Is Phoenix being ‘hijacked’ by mainstreamers?
Will Lady Gaga ‘fuel’ blog meme content for the next 10 years?
Will Taylor Swift ‘become a slut’ 1 day?

the more I read your blog, the more I realize what a huge poseur you are. I guess maybe that’s what the true definition of a Hipster is, “someone who poses as a fan of underground art without understanding the artistic philosophy of the independent movement”.

@cheerskid, he is being ’sarcastic/patronizing’ and it’s because you (and many other frequenters of this site) are what we veteran alts call ‘entry-level.’ One common symptom of being ‘entry-level’ is actually taking carles seriously and assuming that the things he blogs are ‘true’ and ‘accurate’ when they certainly are not. Legitimately calling out carles on a mistake, typo, or general ignorance on his part is only a display of how truly ignorant you are to everything that goes on here.

@cheerskid,
the fact taht it wasn’t zooey makes him a poser?
and the ‘artistic philosophy of the independent movement’ is “do whatever ‘they’ aren’t doing,” which sets itself up for failure. the only way to keep up with it is to act as sarcastic and ironic as possible. carles does this TOO well.
Reply
//////////Reply by cheerskid
//////////Posted February 3rd, 2010 at 2:04 am
@lazerbear,
no, the Zooey Deschanel thing has nothing to do with being a poser. that was an aside.
your second comment however, was the most ‘entry lev’ thing I’ve read all day, but thank you for continuing to prove my point that “hipsters” don’t actually understand what “indie” is about. Doing “whatever ‘they’ aren’t doing” is how mainstreamers have explained “indie” to themselves for ages so to claim “altness” while holding this view would be the very definition of posing. I don’t really have any problem with people doing it, but I’m willing to call it what it is. Sarcasm and Irony have it’s place, and I’m as big a fan as anybody (hence why I might read this blog) but to take that as the culture’s prime ideal is to not understand the concepts of artistic community the lifestyle was founded on years ago.
This is of particular relevance to a Grammy related post given that there is a lot of “buzz” going around along the lines of “Is Indie the new Mainstream??” at a time when the “mainstream” is possibly at the worst it’s ever been [via sunday's Grampy ceremony].
‘Alts’ do what they do because they take certain things they believe in seriously, and take positive action.
‘Hipsters’ do what they do because they think ‘alts’ are cool but don’t understand why so they settle for doing “whatever ‘they’ (mainstreamers) aren’t doing”.
Like I said, I have no problem with this, so please continue.
cheers, carles

If you look at music history at the start of each decade you have a lot of new people coming with totally different, interesting new sounds that are the exact opposite of the last decades music. Examples: comparing the 60’s to the 70’s, and comparing the 80’s to the 90’s. New music is post-everything right now because this is a post decade. Lastly though theres no more “culture” inside of music. Therefore I think music itself is evolving to a more educated thing. Less gimmicks basically, its solely based on content in todays world, but human nature will have to learn to live with that, because were a pretty dramatic species. So will be negative to this less dramatic world that society is currently going into. Which cracks me up. Crls your writing the subconscious again, good post.

I kind of think it’s like the death of music.
Equal to the death of painting.
It’s not really a death, but maybe a death in the number of ways you can fuque you.
Wouldn’t it be interesting though if music devoloped away from entertainment, and became more of an academic practice like Visual Art?
With real critics who related music to music-theory, academia and politics. The problem is, when musicians market to the likes teenagers and act so self-reflexively there is no mystery. We get it bro, you look very cool in pictures. This is why music died in a way.
But like I’ve said, musicians are entertainers, not really contemporary artists.

Was he trippin on everyone’s name on purpose?
Here’s the moments on this entry that made me lol.
That’s not Billy Ray Cyrus with Nicole Kidman. It’s Kidman and Keith Urban or something like that. The point is she’s way more famous than Cyrus and Urban together. SHE’S NOT SOMEONE’S WIFE, SHE’S NICOLE KIDMAN AND THE MAN IS HER HUSBAND.
Miley Cyrus IS Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter but like I said that’s not him. And she’s not related in any possible way to Nicole Kidman.
That’s not Zooey Deschanel, it’s Katy Perry. They DO look at lot alike, though.
The man with Britney Spears is not Kevid Federline. You have either been smoking something or living under a rock if you seriously don’t know that.
And before that there was the “off beat” person from American Idol. I think you meant to say that was Randy Jackson and it’s not.
And what he said about Paris Jackson sounded pedo.
