The Grammys

For once, I agree with you.  Although I do think it's cool that a band who doesn't get much radio play from the autotune stations won album of the year.

To be specific, they won best rock album. Nice to see other bands in the nomination list, but they are overshadowed by all the hoopla of other artists and outfits. The Grammys have been a joke for a couple of decades now. Let's hope Muse's notoriety isn't b/c they are the "Twilight" band.

What? Really? I guess Muse are played on the radio now so they must suck. Their last album wasn't great, but I always thought they had a couple amazing albums… Oh well.

The Suburbs was a pretty cool band from NYC during the '80s.

BZZZZT!!! They were from Minneapolis.

^ I think you're right now that I think of it; however, they were playing in NYC (The Roxy, I think) everytime I was in town. They spent a lot of time touring the NE East Coast too.

The Suburbs were indeed from Minneapolis, according to wikipedia.  However, I can't verify The Suburb's wiki page wasn't defaced by Justin Bieber fans.

The Suburbs - 'Love Is The Law'

It was always a good night when The Suburbs were in town.

Glen Beck on Muse

Glenn Beck calls Muse's Grammys performance 'a call for revolution'

the right-wing radio host suggested  ?Uprising? was inciting revolution. ?You have basically a call for revolution by this group,? Beck said. ?Now, you have to remember these are Europeans, and they have been degraded for a very long time. Really, since the beginning of time. They have had very few glimpses of real freedom, even when England won the Second World War. They didn?t go into freedom. That?s where the Road to Serfdom came from.?

Let's look at this logically:

Muse represents a call for revolution.

Any call for revolution in the post-modern world is represented by Che Guevera.

Therefore, Matt Bellamy is the new Che Guevera.

(Despite what English majors who still read Cosmo and watch "Gossip Girl" think)
Che Guevera, at no point in his life, ate pussy.

Matt Bellamy knocked up Goldie Hawn's daughter.

Therefore, Muse cannot represent a call for revolution.

Reductio ad absurdum


Counterpoint:

* - Goldie Hawn's daughter is the sloppy seconds of the lead singer of the Black Crowes

- The Black Crowes had a song called "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution"

So you're saying that not only does Muse suck, but the singer is actually a bigger douchebag than Glen Beck? Wow, that's harsh.

Though if Che was a straight guy who refused to go down on his women, I guess that wold make him the biggest douchebag.

;D

Actually I was talking about BW.

you have made me smile.  thank you.

While that particular post was a bit nonsensical, I'd say BW hits the nail on the head at least 75% of the time. And he does it with more panache than most. I'd say you're probably just a little jealous.

You've got to be kidding.  His posts are so predictable, I know exactly who wrote them before looking at the name.  To be that much of a pretentious asshole on an already pretentious message board is quite an accomplishment.
