The Grammy Awards are on and taking my focus away from the blog. Between Twitter and the television, I am being inundated with information. Lorde has black fingers. Daft Punk has cool headgear. According to my wife, Keith Urban has a messed up haircut. Katy Perry tried to emulate the witchy aura of Stevie Nicks. All I can say is that she is no Stevie Nicks.
With my mind cluttered with the world of music, I may as well go ahead and add more music to it. That means putting the iPod on shuffle and teeing it up. I don’t know how many of these people won a Grammy, but being included on the playlist should make up for any previous snubs.

“Cindy” by Dean Martin, Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan !!
Yo bro.
It’s a great song from a great movie.
I found the few minutes of the grammys that I watched here and there to be a confusing conflagration of “who the hell are these people???”
Your playlist is much better.
Thanks. The ones I knew didn’t perform very well.
Joy Division – Ceremony
Devil Dogs – Gonna See You Tonight
Gothic Archies – City of the Damned
Quad City DJs – C’mon ‘n Ride It (the Train)
Tandemoro – Lock Your Doors (not on YouTube or Grooveshark, sorry!)
I know these are all quality songs. I would expect no less.
OBVIOUSLY. I’m tempted to send you the Tandemoro mp3 cos I think you’d like them.
I’d like to hear it.
