Arcade Fire and The Grammys

Apparently...everyone was supervised this band who most people angrily tumblr'ed about last night in range won.

I was stocked!

I love them.

I think if Katy Perry won album of the year the world might be exploding as I write this other wise.

Here's New York Daily News view where you can also check out the performances.

I agreed with them about the seizure inducing first performance of "Month of May" which was kinda too hard and distorted for the Grammys, I would have much rather heard...."Sprawl II" one of my all time favorites or "Ready to Go" or even the over played "The Suburbs" but something everyone has heard a million times isn't Grammys worthy when your indie.

It was legit but unnecessary to have the to BMX bikers on stage the whole time with helmet cams. I guess watching it from home doesn't give the same affect as what it may have looked like on stage with the projectors displaying the videos as well. But it was cool that one of the riders was the famous Matt Hoffman!! That gives huge cred compared to hiring some dancers to ride around the stage on a BMX bike, it seemed really slippery as well; I swear I saw them tail whip out a few times.

One of my idols Streisand of all people gets to handover the award to, Win and the band, who one of my co-workers claimed he looked like a Neo-Nazi. I said it was just a very post-modern new wave hair cut. Then they surprise Streisand and basically everyone else at the show and go into an anchor of "Ready to Start" Which rocked and Win said, "Thank you, everyone can leave to this song."

So thank god for the underground, and however this band managed this win, I praise them and all their glory and hope they don't become lame or anything overnight.

Juliette Lewis

Juliette Lewis rocks!

Not much more to say with her stellar rad attitude and bright screen presents she always brings joy to everything she does.

She has that kind of "I don't give a fuck swagger."

She is in a rock band.

And on top of everything else she is FUNNY.

She makes bad movies ok, because her parts still make you laugh and forget about how awful "The Switch" was.

She has been going STRONG since the 80s this women should be a role model for more actresses then any Miley Cyrus.

She is Oscar nominated for Cape Fear; She is EMMY nominated for Showtime's My Louisiana Sky; Beginning in 2004, Juliette took a hiatus from acting to embark on a musical journey. After six years, two full length albums and countless high profile tours and festival gigs with her band The Licks, Juliette set out on a solo career. Releasing Terra Incognita last fall, the album has taken her all across the world from Europe to Japan to Turkey, Australia, North America and Canada.

She helped kick off Milan Fashion week most recently walking in the Miss Bikini Luxe show.
The show opened with her new single “Hot Kiss.”



The multitasker was taking a time out from filming “Whip It!” directed by Drew Barrymore, she’s also working on her third album, which is due out in 2009. After the show, Lewis headed to Lotus nightclub for tipples and tunes with a gaggle of gal pals.

Now some of this is old news, but I can't help but give a WOOOO for this awesome actress who gets downplayed too often. I mean she just exudes cool, she has dated Brad Pitt and been married to pro skater Steve Berra...she is an ultimate California girl at heart. Free spirit all the way. I give a Mazel to her!!
