The Grammy's and my new infinite rage

[struwwel]

So I was pretty happy to hear that Arcade Fire won best album at the Grammy's. Nice to know that it's still possible for an innovative band to make it into the mainstream and get some credibility.

Then some considerate friend of mine sends me a link to this:

I'm part laughing hysterically and part filled with despair, is this really public opinion?

I can understand Gaga etc have their audience and are pretty good at churning out pop singles.

Maybe people don't understand how an album works, that said in the age of downloads the LP is dead.

Wow. Why do people take this stupid crap so seriously? Most of the people on that site are ignorant idiots who have no idea what they are talking about.

EDIT: Also, most of them judge who should win purely on looks and if they are extremely popular or not.

BIEBER DIDN'T WIN! OLOLOLOLOL ZOMFG OLOOOOOOOL!!!!
