Watching for laughs.
Second time I've seen Muse. Awful, awful, awful. How do some of you actually like that band?

Esperanza Spalding won Best New Artist! nice!!
-
I was pleased she won, though they seem to be doing a Shelby Lynne with her since she has three albums out, the fist of which was 2006.

True, but I think it's more about the first breakthrough album than best new artist. Speaking of Shelby Lynne, what happened to her?

I saw Muse live for the first time in 2004 and they blew me away. I saw them 2 other times that year. Saw them open for U2 last year and didn't think they were as good. Only because Bellamy didn't play the piano/keyboards as much. He's a piano genius. That's why I liked them. Lyrically, they're not the best.
-
Muse are good. They're sort of Queen 2.0. There records are horribly clipped but then, everybody's are.
They do a pretty sweet version of "Feeling Good." Almost as good as George Michael's.
Mark the day. Valentine's Day, 2011. Brian Wallace doth proclaimed:
One day, very soon, we will look back on these idiots:
(http://www.edmontonjournal.com/entertainment/4275919.bin?size=620x400)
with as much embarassment as we do, say a "Creed" or a "Limp Bizkit." They're Arrested Development with better undergraduate degrees
And DEEP DOWN INSIDE, you know it too. Your MIND may love "The Arcade Fire" but there's no way you HEART loves "The Arcade Fire." They insist upon themselves.

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.
-
I'm excited and happy for Merge records...but I can't disagree. I think winning a Grammy is very much a double-edged sword.
-
"Creed" and "Limp Bizkit" were always "embarassing."
-
Not for someone who likes Muse...
"Creed" and "Limp Bizkit" were always "embarassing."

I wonder how badly Pitchfork will trash the next Arcade Fire record.

I liked how Lady Gaga played her new song which is pretty universally considered a Madonna impersonation then thanked Whitney Houston for inspiring her to do the song. That's good misdirection.
Interesting how Arcade Fire can be a band that sells out MSG twice and still be an under the radar upset Record of the Year winner. Don't underestimate Arcade Fire.

The Suburbs was a pretty cool band from NYC during the '80s. Saw them a bunch of times. :D ;D
-
i like that arcade fire album. never listened to them before and i think every song is just as great as the last one . . . and to me that makes a great album. and i couldn't hear, "man that sounds like ________."
but what do i know, i like widespread panic.
-
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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Suburbs), according to wikipedia. However, I can't verify The Suburb's wiki page wasn't defaced by Justin Bieber fans (http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/02/14/6052555-bieber-fans-go-on-grammy-fueled-wikipedia-rampage).

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.

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.

I remember a couple of years ago when "The Smashing Pumpkins" were about to release "Zeitgeist" and I called bullshit on THAT. And EVERYBODY on this board was like: "You're a fool!" "You're an idiot!" "The greatest band of the 90's is coming back!", "How DARE you criticize the genius of Billy Corgan?!?!!" etc, etc. Find the thread.
How did that work out for you? History demonstrated that I was right. The Smashing Pumpkins were an overrated joke of a band THEN. They're an overrated joke of a band NOW. And ALWAYS WILL BE. How many times have you listened to "Tarantula" recently?
So keep chirping about The Arcade Fire. How they saved your over-extended souls. Time will, once again, prove I'm correct.
You're all sheep. You don't love music. You love music you're supposed to love.

I'm intrigued by Brian, not because of what he hates, but I'm curious what gets his stamp of approval. OK, we know what he thinks sucks. So what rules? Feed us a positive post every now and again. Let's see how good his tastes are. That way we can take immense pleasure in validating them or ripping them to shreds.

He loves Semi Precious Weapons.
Enuff said.

wow. you were right once, supposedly, so of course this means that you'll be forever correct. you keep clinging to that one incident from 4 years ago, buddy.
i like the streak walalce has been on recently: the more he posts, the more he proves what a deluded and unknowledgeable douche he is. keep the hate coming.
despite the above, i still stand by what i previously wrote:
until he shares with us what he considers acceptable music, his tirades are meaningless. for all we know he's into britney spears, Xtina and MCR - making his anti-Beatles rants his biggest joke of all. he's like a 6-year-old having a temper tantrum about life being unfair.
speaking of which:

i've been curious about this for a while. i've asked several times and he's never answered. he's recently stated that he really likes radiohead's "the bends" - it's a start.

Being one who tends to do all of my walking on the other side of the road, I love Brian. Seriously. Not romantically of course but as a member of this forum.
Granted, I rarely agree with a lot of what he says but that's all besides the point. Sometimes I actually agree with him regarding some things that everyone else disagrees with him about. Thing is, for me, it's not at all about what he likes and dislikes. It's all about his delivery. He writes well and he often makes me laugh. Added bonus, he's good at calling bullshit on others... even though, again, I 'may' not agree with him. Then again, occasionally, he's right on the mark! He's got balls. Strange ones, but he's got 'em.
Reading Brian's posts are a whole lot like how it use to be for me when I would bother with the NME, especially about 10 years or so ago. They could tear the living shit out of my favorite band but they always did it in a way that left me laughing my ass off. Ultimately, both Brian and the NME are great well written musical comedy with a punch.
-
Pretty sure Walalce is a big Smiths fan. Pavement, White Stripes, and assorted Brit-Pop bands also come to mind.
I like Walalce. He is annoying but in a far wittier way than Rhett Miller 1.0 was.
Perhaps I just like him is because he gets all the Radiohead fans in a tizzy. Radiohead has put out some good music but their worshippers can be insufferable. I also think he is on the right track with Arcade Fire. The first album was a good listen, but they got old quick.
-
Put me in the "like" column with Brian. He's a horrible pain in the ass and loves to disagree with almost anything...but he's pretty damn funny and like Jag said, it's nice to hear someone call bullshit around these parts. All the fluffing that happens gets old.
-
Who the hell is Brian Wallace?

I pride myself in not watching the grammys but was sucked into the dark hole shortly after it aired and was forced to watch it dvr style. Most of the artists that performed sounded AWFUL! However I was happy to see that people who weren't thinking they were going to win did! hooray for the underdogs!
