Herbie Hancock Just Won Album Of The Year

Oh man, I got double beat to the punch that time. Julian's slowing in his old age.

The Grammys really haven't gotten with the times. They still think it's 1977 and Billy Joel just released "The Stranger."

Translation… None of the over produced pro-tooled to death artists i think every hipster should burn their Fuck Buttons records and listen to instead got nominated…

So I was hanging out with Tico Torres last night and wished him good luck on the grammy nomination……I'm assuming they didn't win shit huh?

BTW, I really was hanging out with Tico Torres last night. Did you know he's only about 5 feet tall???

I'm convinced that everything going on inside the pyramid was fake. I'm not even convinced it was actually Daft Punk - the two guys were moving FAR more than Daft Punk seems when they perform as part of the ALIVE tour. I think they just designed that so it would look cool on TV. It didn't look as though they were actually doing anything legit.

yeah, true dat - nail in the coffin is comparing the grammy video to this view of what the real pyramid looks like. unless DP radically redesigned their IU (and, one assumes, the underlying tech too), that was indeed all for show.

I'll bite. Is he in one of those Contemporary Latin bands?

Are you kidding? The drummer for Bon Jovi?!?!

He used to be married to this:

The fact that Fergie has won three Grammy's pretty much nullifies this point.

I heard it for the 1st time, and I was not impressed. I did hear Clint Black take jabs at Kanye West. That was funny, and I'm no country fan.

I think that nullifies all points. I think that nullifies western civilization.

Breakdancers we spoke with say Hancock's win won't affect their 24-year boycott of the artist's "whack post-Rockit" work. Back to you, Tom.

If you're on Twitter, I highly recommend following Merlin Mann ( http://twitter.com/hotdogsladies on Twitter). His postings are hilarious.

I must be getting old, cause I actually like Fergie. And of course the Eminem comment earlier was one of the stupidest one's I've read in a long time. He's got more talent in his little pinky then most other artists these days or recent past.

Wow, looks like I'm not the only one getting old…LOL.

Don't worry. You're not getting old. You just have really crappy taste.

I like Fergie, too. She shouldn't get within ten feet of a cover song (did anyone hear her version of "Live and Let Die?") but she's a better Gwen Stefani than Gwen Stefani is.

I was telling someone over the weekend that she's released greater singles off one album ("Clumsy", "Fergalicious", "London Bridge", probably "Mary Jane Shoes") than Britney has in her entire career.

please define "greater".

sold more copies? no friggin' way.

more talented? neither have talent, it's a draw. all of their singles are studio magic, their vocal contributions were minimal (and then quickly paved over).

more culturally relevant to today's generation of emo-whiners? possibly, but i'll defer to your expertise on that one.

Seriously, it's like arguing Splenda is better than Equal.
It's still fake with no calories.

So close, yet so far…

I don't know about Fergie, but Gwen's voice sounds great even outside of the studio.

I'll give you "Toxic" and "Hit Me Baby…" but the middle eight of "Fergalicious?", the "girl can't help it" chorus of "Clumsy?", the overall skankiness of "London Bridge?" That's at least 3-2, Fergie.
