I'm Getting My Tivo a Valentines Gift, Not My Girlfriend

I had convinced myself that the Oscars were last night. I suppose I was more excited about the Oscars than the Grammys, but excited isn't the right word I'd use for either award show. I was just confused.

Even when I called the lady, and she told me she was watching the Grammys, it didn't register. Even when she said she had Tivoed it, to catch the performance from Moris Day and the Time (a music group, not associated with a movie,) it didn't register. Even when I sat down at midnight to watch the Oscars, it still didn't register.

I work in the music industry and I could care less about the Grammys. I paused at the Feist performance and at the Amy Winehouse performance. I wasn't impressed by either. Neither seemed comfortable up there, performing or otherwise. Nobody feels comfortable at the Grammys. Nobody feels comfortable watching the Grammys either.

Between the growing apathy toward award shows, and the increasing hatred of the music industry, the Grammys are a sad, sorry show. A platform for the likes of Kanye West and his lack of gracious modesty.

Does anyone care? Do I? Have you stopped reading this post already? I wouldn't blame you, if you had.

That said, I'm not really excited about the Oscars either. Most of the movies I haven't seen. I just want the Cohen brothers to take home some naked golden statues. They deserve it.

Thanks to Tivo, for letting me get through the Grammys, a 4 hour program, in less than 30 minutes. I'll never get that half hour of my life back, but at least I had all that extra time to do ... well nothing.
