So my thoughts on the grammys…
I am happy the following people won-
Best Regional Roots Music Album- Rebirth Brass Band
Reggae Album: “Revelation Pt. 1: The Root of Life,” Stephen Marley
Best Americana Album- Levon Helm (YAY!!!)
I am also taken aback about the “house” music that has hit the scene and people like Skrillex and Avicii being nominated in these categories. I love band like Tribe, Lotus, and Umphrey’s- who for all intensive purposes are electronic/house music. But I do think that musicians like Skrillex, Rusko and Avicii are just too digitalized for me. They really aren’t playing any instruments- and mixing stuff on their computers. Don’t get me wrong- I love their shows- they are always packed and I can always shake it- but I really think there is a talent lost- which is why I always promote bands- like lotus and sts9. The best thing I think tribe did, and what makes them one of my favorite musicians is they totally stripped their electronic side in “Axe the Cables”. It really made them in my eyes a true band.
Of course Adele took most of the grammy’s- her vocal range is amazing. I am also glad she is on the thicker side. Shows me that not all music is lost. I am really not shocked that the youth today is all on ADD medication after going to a bunch of these electronic/house music shows I go to. How can you get your mind straight- when the music is all over the place?
