SW got effin stolen.

I'm glad to see Michael Romanowski get some recognition. Alicia Keys isn't my bag, and neither is the US Army Field Band, but if those mixes are anything like what he did on Fantastic Negrito's Have You Lost Your Mind Yet?, then they're deserving. I'd like to see a full list of his Atmos credits. Here's a selection:

Just started watching the Grammy's and was excited to see Silk Sonic open the show

...uh then the music started...

have you ever had coffee at a IHOP? kinda like watered down dishwater, that's how the sound is on this, like your hearing it just barely wafting out of a hall closet from down the hall.

I know it's live but, geez this suuuuucks!

 

[J. PUPSTER]

OK so Chris Stapleton just performed a kind of Country-Blues song that I really enjoyed and it had some reasonable vocal presence and instrument definition; and backing strings that even cut through.

On TV, the blabber incontinence is important. The music is background.

“Girl, you went to the bathroom for like five minutes, are you serious?”
“I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life”

The Grammys live tv show has been dead to me since 1998.

How can we listen to the Alicia surround album? I don't see it anywhere.

 

[J. PUPSTER]

Despite all my bitchin’ about the sound, I actually enjoyed the show. I thought all the performances were excellent, I liked Trevor Noah as the host and Lady GaGa just broke my heart with her love song to Tony. and, I’m happy Silk Sonic won some awards; is that whole album in Atmos yet

But the sound was like the engineers set the boards up for a slow Billie Eilish song and just left for a smoke break for most of the show.

Every year there is a new thread about the Grammy's on the forum. Every year the response is overwhelmingly negative. For myself I would describe the Grammy's award show as at least being useful to me. By that I mean I listen to such little modern American or Brit music I'm sure there must be something good out there I'm missing. So the annual music awards show is a good way of recapping the year, give me some new music & artists in a Readers Digest format & I can make up my own mind if I want to follow up on something.

This year I did not watch it.... I didn't purposely ignore it I just sort of forgot about it. And I was in my Bassment again enjoying ELO's Eldorado again and then a live performance Blu-ray of the Radwimps.

Crap, just now found it on Amazon Music, it's true!
Headphone or dumbass Amazon smart speaker.

There's your answer.
Sent one of these to every Grammy voter?

Why is IAA hyping this?
Because the sad reality is, we are the lunatic fringe, and this is the future.

Damn, it's a sunny day here.
Hopefully I can get on my bicycle with my phone and IEM earbuds later and check this Grammy-winning Immersive Album in fresh air & sunshine, not in the man-cave through speakers.

I wouldn't have guessed it would be possible to have less respect for the people involved in this. But here we are.

The Jon Batiste performance, production was amazing! No way I could have made it through the show live with all the commercials and speeches, but picking and choosing, using the fast forward button, it was better than I expected. Noah was great as expected but maybe a little tame after last week. Certainly glad I didn't miss it. Would have liked to see a Bo Burnham performance, but glad he won. The Billie Eilish performance was good and her shirt was pure class.
