What's Hot
Trending Topics with Tim Baker and Blockhead Volume 73 - The Grammys Edition
Welcome back to Trending Topics, our weekly recap of all things stupid, this week we discuss The Grammys, Whitney Houston, Adele, Paul McCartney, LL Cool J and more.
As always we are joined by noted celebritologist and Ninja Tunes recording artist Blockhead.
The Grammys
The Grammys
In addition to watching the Grammy's I too am ashamed of Blockhead's live tweeting.
Not only did I watch the Grammys for the first time in years, I live tweeted it. Those are two things I'm extremely ashamed of.
Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston
At one point during LL's prayer for Whitney they scanned the crowd and it looked like half the crowd was wearing costumes from the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon. I found that amusing, but not as amusing as imagining it was Whitney Cummings who died.
I guarantee the producers of the show were furious that she didn't die a week earlier.
Adele
Adele
Adele had a huge night, can't help but be happy for her, she made a good album that should have one. I am more concerned that she is dating the real life version of Turtle.
It was her night. Tubby girls who get dumped rejoiced all over the planet and Lady Gaga won nothing while wearing a fishing net on her face.
Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney
I was all ready to shit all over this performance, but outside of Bruce Springsteen looking a little like the slow kid they let hang around I was impressed, not only did they avoid all the cliche Beatles bullshit, they managed to rock one of my favorite medleys from the Beatles. Kudos to you, you old prick.
My boy Mero (@thekidmero) put it best when he said he looks like an animation lesbian aunt. Or as i see it, he looks exactly like Angela Lansbury from "Murder She Wrote". Either works perfectly.
L.L. Cool J
L.L. Cool J
LL licked his lips so much that my lips got chapped.
The older LL gets and balder his face is, the more he looks like a Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtle. Just grow a mustache dude…seriously.
The Foo Fighters
The Foo Fighters
I love Dave Grohl, shit I even have love for the Foo Fighters despite the fact that they have one song with different words. That said, it really felt like the Grammys were riding their dick a little too hard for cred, all the way down to the jam session at the end. It seemed like all the old lesbian looking guys were just trying to show how cool they were and that they could still hang with the younger more wild set. You know that 40 year old young and wild set that has the parents of America all in a tizzy.
I think Dave Grohl is a cool guy. Unfortunately his band makes shitty music and every song they've made over the last decade sounds the same. I feel like this year, they won all those Grammys on the basis of just sticking around.
Chris Brown
Chris Brown
The fact that the RIAA champions this woman beating piece of shit year after year is more than enough of a reason to illegally download music for the rest of your life.
The Teflon don of woman beating was one of the focal points of the entire show. Again proving that, as long as you make music for women, you can do whatever you want to them and most will forgive you. The R Kelly rule.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj
I know there is a lot of hate on Nicki Minaj but I fucking love her. Hip Hop has been a big ole homo erotic shit show for a while, so why not go full camp and John Waters that fucker out. Maybe then Busta will finally feel comfortable coming out.
Now that performance was a shit show. I felt like I was watching a high school play about the making of a shitty demo tape in Frankenstein's laboratory.
Skrillex
Skrillex
I don't know if what I hate most about Skrillex, his music, his Yeardley Smith looking face or the fact that he jacked Motley Crue's hair cut from the Girl Don't Go Away Mad video.
Is there a more hate-able person than this dick bag? He makes the worst music, has the worst fans and has inspired way too many hot girls to get the dumbest haircut known to man.
Bon Iver
Bon Iver
I love the Bon Iver is making it acceptable for ugly people to make music again, and for boring people to like music again.
I tweeted this, but I was shocked when he opened his mouth and he was American. I had always assumed he was from Finland or some shit and spoke like the Swedish chef.
