Grammy Time

This year's Grammy Awards are to air this Sunday (February 8th). I hardly care to watch them myself but this year a few names jump off the list and into my "cool bag". OK I don't have a "cool bag", I merely tried to act as though I did so that you would be fooled. HA jokes on you, douche.

And now to get back to what was so important. Guess who is up for album of the year? I'll give you a hint, it's Radiohead. For their beautiful In Rainbows that has boggle-minded even the best of us. This album filled my heart full of joy flowers dipped in helium. Also to make the list is the not-to-shabby Lil Wayne.

Here is the Album of the Year list.
