The 54th Annual Grammy Awards honored the best of the best... or are they?

Como ocurre con cada ceremonia de entrega de los premios Grammy, no sólo de premios se trata sino también de presentaciones en vivo, algunas de las cuales terminan siendo memorables. Tal como esperábamos , algo de eso hubo anoche, en especial con las performances de The Beach Boys -con la ayuda de Foster the People y Maroon 5 - y Paul McCartney con un Abbey Road medley escoltado por [...]

The Beach Boys looked their age and then some, almost like some SNL skit lampooning old rockers.

This is the future of music? The last time I watched a Grammy Awards telecast all the way through was when John Denver was the host, and the Eurythmics were the hottest band on the planet (that would be 1982, punk). Until last night - I watched from beginning to end, and learned a great deal in the process. If you were an alien who just dropped in from another planet and watched the Grammy Awards to see what music is all about, the first thing you would gather is that rock and roll [...]

Credit: Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times Last night we witnessed a very safe ceremony for the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. The fact that I'm not as outraged about the performances and the results as I normally am has had me stewing on this all night and all morning. I'm always the one in my circle that cheers on The Recording Academy to make better decisions so they can be both relevant while not getting too caught up in The Long Tail looking for the year's very best, so why can't I feel better about last night's [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Awards Kevin Winter/Getty Images Paul McCartney closed the 54th Grammys ceremony last night with the second half of the medley from 'Abbey Road,' the Beatles ' final recording. The set, which consisted of a seamless blend of 'Golden Slumbers,' 'Carry That Weight' and 'The End,' was an unexpected choice but a fitting end to the awards show. Macca belted out the first two [...]

One of the biggest stories of the beginning of 2012 around HT headquarters has been the return of Neil Young and Crazy Horse . After eight years apart, the group has come together to record two albums and this past Friday night performed publicly for the first time since 2004. Neil Young and Crazy Horse played I Saw Her Standing There at the 2012 MusicCares Person of the Year reception honoring Paul McCartney in Los Angeles. James McKinley Jr. of the New York Times raved about the band's [...]

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. However the real news arrives in the form [...]

New issue of the Big Issue is on your local street now and she features the PAUL MCCARTNEY on her cover.

Without a doubt, the most (only?) adrenaline pumping moment from last night's largely predictable Grammy Awards (okay, we were a bit blind-sided when Bon Iver won Best New Artist) was when Sir Paul McCartney , of you know, The Beatles , closed out the ceremony with a loving rendition of the second half of the Abbey Road medley (which is easily in my top 10 Beatles recordings). Things go from blissful nostalgia to legitimately epic during "The End" portion of the medley, when Bruce Springsteen , Dave Grohl and Joe [...]

Sir Paul McCartney is getting a lot of love just in time for Valentine's Day. Just this week, Macca was named MusiCares Person of the Year and received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And Paul is reciprocating the love by covering some of the standards that he would always find in his dad's record collection with Kisses On the Bottom . McCartney's music has always favored melodic pleasure over lyrical subtext, and the 14 songs that feature here find him riding high without a touch of irony. Paul's vocal intonations often quaver [...]

Sir Paul McCartney was honored as the 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year in Los Angeles Friday night. The ceremony included a number of live performances, including covers of "Jet" by Foo Fighters, "Blackbird" by Alicia Keys, "Hey Jude" by Katy Perry, "We Can Work It Out" by Coldplay, and "I Saw You Standing There" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse, which marked the reunited outfit's first performance in eight years . In addition, Sir Paul performed two tracks from his new LP Kisses on the Bottom , "My Valentine" and "I'm Gonna Sit [...]

Katy Perry may be newly single, but she's certainly not letting her mood match the color of her hair. In fact, the "Part Of Me" songbird couldn't have looked any rosier at last night's MusiCares tribute to Sir Paul McCartney — mostly because she was rocking a giant pink flower on her head. "Tonights lewk is Petal Power themed," Katy tweeted shortly before the event, where she sang The Beatles' "Hey Jude" in tribute of MusiCares' "Person of the Year."
