Well, it’s the morning after the Grammys and we all survived, despite some close calls. Eminem raged onstage with burning flames in the background and didn’t crack a smile once, even after he won best rap album. Confounding the major label system, a Canadian band on an indie label won album of the year, smoting out Lady Antebellum’s hot streak. But thankfully, most of all, the Bieber ninja drummers didn’t attack downtown Los Angeles, as some predicted. It’s a good day!
As just reward for your perseverance in the face of such dangers, we recommend catching up on the slew of coverage we provided for you on Pop & Hiss, Awards Tracker and Ministry of Gossip. Some specific links for you to check out:
