Canny GRAMMYS.

Just one day around the corner, 81 gramophones shall be bestowed to artists all throughout the music industry. All of their overdue grind over late night studio sessions or assembling effective promotion over music releases should pay off where it is expected. The two years consecutive host for the night will be LL COOL J. You've got to admit, the ladies love cool James. It is highly chancy to start guessing definite winners, as we all know The Grammys is well known for being a commemorative night full of comic faces and bumbling acceptance speeches, however the boys are extending their desire to go home popping dedicatory bottles with a total of six nominations per artist - Dan Auerbach, Fun, Jay-Z, Mumford & Sons, Frank Ocean, and of course, Kanye West. The 'Stronger' visionary put the awards show on full blast recently in December during a blank 'Clique' performance in Revel, Atlantic City. He sceptically argued

"I love Maroon 5, but when I lost for 'Best New Artist' to Maroon 5... Or when Watch The Throne and Dark Fantasy, neither of them got nominated for 'Album of the Year,' or when 'Niggas in Paris' didn't get nominated for 'Record of the Year'... So don't expect to see me at the Grammys this year, you nah mean?!"

 So conclusively maybe Kanye will never truly BE satisfied with his current eighteen Grammys.

The 55th Awards Show will consist of these performers:

• Travis Barker, Chuck D, LL Cool J, Tom Morello, and DJ Z-Trip
• Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert
• The Black Keys
• Zac Brown, T Bone Burnett (as musical director), Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard, Elton John, Mumford & Sons, and Mavis Staples, who will pay tribute to the late Levon Helm of the Band

• Dr. John and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band with the Black Keys
• Fun.
• Elton John with Ed Sheeran, performing together live for the first time

Kanye rant.

All I know is that The Grammys will once again snub a couple here and there, it's recently been so stubbornly established with who's deserving.

The 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards will take place live on Sunday, Feb. 10 at Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast on the CBS Television Network from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Doors Open For MackleMore

Macklemore becomes first unsigned artist to reach #1 in 

the US since 1994.

The "rookie in the game" MC released his debut album entitled "The Heist" last year, October 9th. 

His music holds an unafraid individual perspective, which makes the content and its structure relatively open to consider. With sales going up to 780,000 in the first week, "Same Love" single going #1 in Australia and multi-platinum single "Thrift Shop" recently achieving the #1 spot on UK iTunes, Macklemore is doing greater than most newbies in the business.

The sound is generally DOPE. 

Check him out.

'Thrift Shop' on Youtube.

The Return Of NICOLE

Don't Hold Your Breath! 

Scherzinger's "AMAZEBALLS" weekly peppiness and judging on X-Factor proved her worthy of being the first ever judge to have two finalist acts going up against winning that within grasp record deal.

Has it come as a surprise that her televised quirkiness and artistry, essentially has scored her a promoted "BOOMerang" rebound?

Hawaii's Tropic Queen of singing, dancing and hula-hooping has wiggled back into the bizness.

BOOMERANG.

HMV - His Master's Choice... Part 1

His Master's Choice - Part 1

HMV's Flagship Store on Oxford Street, London

HMV, the 92-year-old music retailer, is unlikely to have much of a future beyond a cluster of stores and the internet, if other recent retail failures are anything to go by. 

An administrator was appointed on Tuesday to try to salvage some of its 223 British stores.

After years of struggling as its business of selling CDs and DVDs was hammered by competition from supermarkets like Tesco, online retailers like Amazon and download sites like Apple's iTunes.

Hilco, the restructuring specialist that purchased HMV Canada in 2011, was watching the situation closely, given the possible merge of the brands. If HMV were to close completely Britain's entertainment market would lose 300 million pounds.

HMV's administration, puts 4,123 jobs at risk, it is the latest blow to an industry which has seen a long-line of household names like Woolworths, MFI, JJB Sports and Comet fall down.

The store also struggled to reinvent itself when its core markets went into decline, with expansion into live entertainment and books failing to change its fortunes and a recent push towards tablets and headphones coming too late, with other sites like Zavvi already seizing the oppurtunities.
