aaaand now we sit back and watch the backlash...
Just awesome like that
Can I at least say that, while I have no idea what his music sounds like, I have at least heard of him?
EDIT: VERY GOOD POINT MADAM.

Surely that's what happened with Arcade Fire last year, isn't it?
Moronic, pretentious fan
Foo Fighters got all the rock ones. How utterly predictable.
Because I choose to.
Lazy?
I remember one amusing Facebook post in that nature.
"Who in the heck are Arcade Fries?"
"I don't know, but they sound delicious."
Also, Adele really brought it on her Rolling in the Deep performance. That was the highlight.
On another annoying grammy moment, the Foo Fighters won Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance? What is that, 8-9 times Megadeth have been denied?
On a related note, Ian Anderson reflects on his Award-Snubbing Metallica
EDIT: Well this doesn't bode well...

Here’s the “Who is Arcade Fire?” Tumblr from last year for anyone who’s interested. The Facebook message Alucard mentioned is on there. Personally, I find both the “Who is Arcade Fire?” and “Who is Bon Iver?” Tumblrs hilarious. “Bonny Bear” from the latter has already become one of my favourite mondegreens ever. That page of Paul Mc Cartney Tweets, however, is more a frightening sight than a humorous one, although I’m still glad Alucard shared it with us.
10 times, counting this year. Can't say I liked the fact that they combine the hard and metal categories into one.

I thought hipsters liked Skrillex.
Also, I heard Lady Gaga and her entourage walked out at one point. Is that true?

I had to laugh at two things:
a) the fact that Kanye finally damn near sweeped the hip-hop awards and yet no-showed the event.
b) Lil Wayne dissing Jay-Z/Kanye in the pre-Grammy party, probably because he knew then Otis was gonna take the award.
Scoreboard this year reads Kanye, 4. Jay, 1. YMCMB... a big fat zero. Hey, the Grammys aren't that bad finally.

Hipsters loathe Skrillex.
Except me and JHM, but we're weird.
People keep calling him a hipster 'cause of the frames.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.
Proclaiming oneself to be a hipster is a paradox.

Eh whatever, people say I'm a Hipster all the time, I stopped fighting it.

And it's only a paradox for certain definitions of hipster anyway.
I didn't write any of that.

Adele's and Paul's perfomances made my shitty night a thousand times better.
Especially since Paul played my favorite Beatles song(s).
Kinda wished Bon Iver won instead of Adele, but it's whatever, Adele deserved it too.
And disappointed Bon Iver isn't very notable round these parts. >:/

I like Skrillex :/
I love The Beatles, and Sir Paul's my favorite, but I don't think he did a grand job. He wasn't bad, but... eh, I dunno.
deadmau5 was great, and The Beach Boys reunion was pretty damn cool.
For the Grammys, at least, it was a decent night.

Like I said, I never heard of Skrillex, Bon Iver, or Deadmau5 before the Grammys. But I thought it was okay. Jennifer Hudson's tribute was especially good and so was Adele, though I think she is getting rather overplayed.
Just awesome like that
Anyone else see that commercial they aired near the middle of the show with Willie Nelson's cover of 'The Scientist'? I'll be honest, I haven't heard the original song before, but I loved his cover.

I get the urge to punch Skrillex at the part where he starts waving his iPhone around.
Just how much disrespect for the public does one have when he starts using his cellphone in the middle of an acceptance speech? And he seriously gives off an "haha, thanks for the Grammies suckers" vibe.

To quote you:
He wasn't as much of a dick as Deadmau5 though.
But when is Deadmau5 not a dick?

Agreed. (I will say that there were other albums I heard in the year that I think should've at least been nominated, but out of what was there, there's no denying that Adele deserved it—hell, maybe even with the ones I'm thinking of on the bill).
