Chuy


Who's out of touch here... MTV or the rest of us? Because pretty much everyone posting here is asking "who the fuck are these people" and I'd think that the average Stereogum commenter is more "in touch" with music than maybe any old Joe on the street.

I watched 15 minutes of this last night and felt like I was watching some Nickelodeon Mickey Mouse awards show or something. Are we all just a bunch of old codgers or has MTV completely lost all relevance? Isn't music relevance supposed to be their job?

And WTF... did anyone see the videos that were up for video of the year? They were all just regular old normal "here we are playing our song" videos. There was nothing innovate or even marginally creative about any of them.

I can't believe there are people at Lincoln who think they might be able to increase the relevance of their godawful out of touch automotive jokes with some Daft Punk.

We were lucky enough to be off to the side of the stage... the whole place went absofuckinglutely NUTS. It was really really cool. She didn't come out until that second verse iirc, it was quite a surprise.

Great stuff.

I have to agree. I'm slightly obsessed with Sigur Ros but this is a bit... eh. Still it's always nice to see them.

That's like saying if someone mails you a letter, you're invading the sender's privacy if you read the return address.

Premature Evaluation: Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

Pushing Noel off a stage in Toronto might bruise the erstwhile Oasis mouthpiece's ribs (maybe even his spirits) and cause the band to cancel a show or two, but nothing can stop the slow procession toward a new Oasis album....
