OK so the Grannys (right? Because of how old they are? Terrible.) happened last night, we’ve covered it. Hopefully you were doing better things, like watching Coldplay be funny on The Simpsons or, if you’re a weirdo, something not TV related at all. But if you were watching the NARAS shitshow, hopefully you were also following along on Diplo’s Twitter, for choice moments like “ jeff beck needs to break his guitar over his own head ” — which is true although I expect Lefsetz’s inevitable email later today to firmly disagree — or even choicer moments, like when he tweeted this:
And it is true, Beyoncé won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Halo,” Major Lazer covered “Halo” with Jamaican dancehall dude Elephant Man on vocals, and the MP3 was released via Twitter mid-Grammys. Quite stylish.
The artist field in the original ID3 tag read “Diplo shoulda won grammy” (I fixed for you). Thanks for everything, @diplo. You may not have won a Grammy, but you did with The Grammys. You know?

Wow, three posts in a row turning your nose up at the Grammys? Overly harsh. I personally think the Grammys are the best (or least pointless) music awards show because the winners/nominees are picked by voting members of NARAS. Even though they’re sometimes biased, at least they don’t pick winners for political reasons the way Rolling Stone magazine makes a Top 100 list.
Ha, sorry. I guess the bitter taste is still in my mouth from sitting through that thing last night, and all these posts relate to the Grammys, either explicitly or contextually. Promise not to pile on anymore. I think.
Is this deaf geoff of 107.9?! You took pictures of me and friends at IHOP! haha
Ha ha, yes, I am that guy. Free Pancake Day at IHOP happens again this year on February 23!
“they don’t pick winners for political reasons”
haha, that’s a good one!
UGH ELEPHANT MAN. WHAT A TWUNT. SUCH A HOMOPHOBE. DIPLO, I EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU THAN ASSOCIATING WITH A PUNK BITCH LIKE ELEPHANT MAN.
when diplo reads this he’s going to get soooo back at you.
I so agree. Elephant Man is a complete piece of phobic trash.
Could not agree more. And Stereogum would never give the time of day to an artist who was as racist as Elephant Man is homophobic. That scumbag and his venom should be roundly ignored/ boycotted by all.
actually wouldnt be surprised to know that among all the ones who makes music, theres going to be a homophobic around; in the beggining of the first decade, is just as having kathy lee as another christian nowadays.. :B bad joke!
