VMAs suck so hard

Tell me

Whats the point of an over hyped award show that has no real way of delineating when a video or artist can qualify? I watched some of this thing tonight and it was complete horse shit.

How the hell does Gym Class Heroes qualify for best new artist? They have had two albums and their first single was a re-do of a song on their first album (P.S I love them to death, just makin a point). And Since when did "Hey their Delila" become the hot hit of the summer? Correct me if I'm wrong but that shit is a re-release from about a year ago.

Also why the hell does Hip-hop win everything? WTF? As i watch the nominees roll by I mentally tag anything that has Jay-Z or Beyonce in it because I know that's who is going to win. I don't even really watch the other names. Bands like Justice that made really cool videos get jacked while that "umbrella" song gets way over hyped.

At least Kanye looked good, and Sara Silverman was pretty great. I just wish it was a better indicator of our scene. But really what it is, is a chance for all the 13 year old suburban girls to watch 50 cent and Justin dance around and collect statues.

Ah well...

William Elliott Whitmore's When Push Comes To Love.mp3 the anti VMA track of the night.

D.A.N.C.E to Our Love to Admire

I am so addicted to Justice right now esspecially the single D.A.N.C.E which has had my toe tapping for the last few days and has racked up quite the play count on my last FM.

My first encounter with these guys was their video which comes down to some pretty teriffic eye candy. The song is really great, but when put with those odd moving T-shirt its nearly impossible to look away.

If you like Daft Punk and feel the need for a Michael Jackson tribute song, I suggest this.

In Other news, the new Interpol album is supurb. And I belive it is better then the new Stripes offering. Although it lacks a bit of originality, there are enough jewles to keep me entertained and I can live with non drastic changes right now. If you are a fan, buy it and see them. They still have it and are one of the best shows out there.

Also, I am going to see Transformers this weekend so be on the look out for a post with that in mind. And the end of the month is going to bring an Axe that Choped The Cherrey Tree show as well as the Silversun Pickups with Sea Wolf so Ill try to get some reviews of that if I can.
