Anti Pleasure’s Favorite Music (or not so favorite)

I have to say that the worst awards show of LIFE is the Grammy awards. I mean, for example, who would give Avril Lavigne a grammy in the first place? Has it EVER gone down hill in the last ten years. I know awards are pretty much popularity contests… so I guess the music doesn’t matter anymore. WHAT MATTERS apparently is what you are wearing that night, what song is the flavor of the week and therefore it receives a nomination.

Why am I fuming right now? I’m laughing but with a tinge of a grimace here… Daft Punk have been nominated for a grammy! WHAT? Seven years later, they are nominated for “Harder Better Stronger Faster” and hmmm, who can we thank for this? Kanye West of course, for sampling it in his song last year. A little behind aren’t you there Grammy awards?

And what on earth… Deadmau5 is nominated for a grammy too? Man, what a sham these awards are now. No offense, but there have been producers (such as Daft Punk for goodness sake!) around for years and years and it took them that long to nominate a song that’s probably popular on youtube or maybe some aloof and stupid talk show host is all for Daft Punk. I don’t know, I’m rambling here…

My point is, half of these artists who get nominations, SHOULD NOT BE NOMINATED! I don’t find it fair that tons of artists over the years have never received even a nomination.

How ridiculous. 

Here are the nominations for “Best Dance Recording” lol:

Daft Punk – Harder Better Faster Stronger
Lady Gaga – Just Dance
Madonna – Give It 2 Me
Rihanna – Disturbia
Sam Sparro – Black & Gold

*ROLLS EYES*

And here, for Best Remixed Recording:

Ne-Yo – Closer (Stonebridge Radio Edit)
MGMT – Electric Feel (Justice Remix)
Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake – 4 Minutes (Junkie XL Remix)
Mary J. Blige – Just Fine (Moto Blanco Remix)
Morgan Page feat. Lissie – The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix)

You know you are a major sell out when you are nominated in these categories Plus, there is only two categories for “DANCE” music. I’d say the majority of the US have no idea what electronic music is. They think it is TECHNO TECHNO and Daft Punk.

And can I just say, the songs that were nominated were pure CRAP.

That is all! 

Alright I hope some of that made sense.

End of rant.
