Knox Road Live Blogs the Grammys (With a One-Hour Delay)!

The Grammys are back, you guys! While I usually wait until the awards are over to write a snarky commentary, I’ve decided to give it to you straight, as the action happens. Some Hype Hype Hooray-regulars might note that I don’t have cable, but this year I found a liiiittle loophole (my girlfriend has to work late and there’s a TV at her office). You can send me some of your commentary or hatred over on Twitter. I’ll be here all night, so get ready for some gramophone action!

The year Adele won all the Grammys

That’s what the 2012 Grammy Awards will be known as because, WOW, girl makes some awesome music and she has just about zero competition this year.

Grammy nominations are slightly less terrible this year!

It’s no secret that the Grammy awards are useless and irrelevant and horrible. I mean, when you give awards to Kings of Leon and Green Day, what do you expect? But this year (THIS YEAR) the nominations are a leeeedle bit better! Taking my notes are you, Grammy people? […]

The Grammys: Why bother trying anymore?

Well that happened. Music’s biggest night nightmare of the year played out just like we all knew it would: unpredictably and hilariously miserable. Seriously, so many LOLs! Remember that time Dave Matthews Band was old and boring? And that other time Justin Bieber was too busy trying to be a “cool black guy” to […]

LOL @ AWFUL Grammy nominations

ZOMG, the 52nd annual Grammy Award nominees are out and they’re SO bad it’s actually funny. Unlike last year when they were so bad it was just all awkward glances and kicking nonchalantly at the ground. Nono, this time they’re really going for the ol’ We’re Old And Irrelevant Award. Case […]

Jealous, Chris Martin?

M.I.A., Radiohead go crazy with Grammy performances

M.I.A. and Radiohead are both slotted to perform at this years’ Grammy Awards, but these aren’t your mother’s performances. M.I.A is playing the show nine months pregnant, actually on her due date (coolest birth ever?). Meanwhile Radiohead is planning on playing with the University of Southern California marching band.

What, like […]
