The 51st annual Grammay awards have been and gone. Did you watch it? did you agree. do you care? Like the Oscars is it not just a nother way for the industry to pat its own back and say: Well done, we did it again, dispite the evil threat of thePirateBay and filesharing internet pirates around the world we made a couple of billion dollars! 

Anyhow, it makes a good show though.. And Coldplay are great..
