I really can’t remember the last time I watched the Grammy’s, but this year was a little bit hipper than most.  Not only did Kings of Leon get nominated for 3 Grammy’s, winning Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals (Whatever the fuck that means??) for “Sex on Fire“, but rock dietes Radiohead were slated to play, so I tuned in.  Sure at times it was complete torture sitting through collaborations of Stevie Wonder and the Jonas Brothers and Katy Perry (she has nice boobies) prancing around in utter awkwardness, but a few standout performances made it well worth it. I have to admit I am a fan of Estelle’s mega-catchy tune “American Boy” and her performance with Kanye was pretty effin good.  And preggers MIA performing on the day her baby is due was fucking rad as hell, but nothing can compare to Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood performance with the USC Marching Band for a monumental version of “15 Step”.  I was blown away by them at Lollapalooza last year and was amazed at how well the In Rainbows songs translated live.  Unfortunately, the Grammy performance was minus Colin, Ed and Phil, but astounding none the less. Dig it!
