Predictably sweeping with a landslide win at this year's Grammys is none other than Adele, who not only got nominated for six awards, but won all six as well. She won in all the big, chunky categories - Record/Album/Song of the year, as well as Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Short Form Music Video. In the midst of the Album of the Year speech, you saw an earthy young London gal in tears, as she spoke of how her album was about, "something really normal... a rubbish relationship," and having snot in her nose.

Social media possesses a real knack for spotlighting just how preoccupied the more mainstream fans are, illustrated by the countless Justin Bieber/One Direction/Jonas Brothers trends which appear on Twitter, but it's their latest response to a particular grammy winner that really highlights just how worryingly absorbing these obsessions are... And so brings an end to the 54th Grammy Awards, and Justin Vernon, otherwise known as Bon Iver, has won a set of grammies for best new artist and best alternative album. Congratulations to him.

President Barack Obama built his entire campaign on the premise of hope and change. Along the way, he's realigned the musical tastes associated with the leader of the free world, as evidenced by his love of hip-hop and Al Green and invitations to acts like The Killers and Yim Yames to play the White House. Fun fact: President Bush only had a paltry250 songs on his iPod . In an effort to further play up his musical savviness (which undoubtedly translates to more votes in the Williamsburg region), [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-09T20:24:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4049700/obama-y-su-playlist-de-spotify/
