Blood Bank, he did work with Kanye on "Dark Fantasy, Monster, and Lost in the World", Perth, Woods.

You have to be in the right state of mind to listen to him though. Very mellow stuff. His voice is crazy.

How do they pick these?

Funny you should ask my friend, I just looked it up....

Record companies and individuals may submit recordings to be nominated. Nominations are made online and a physical copy of the work is sent to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Once a work is entered, reviewing sessions are held, by more than 150 experts from the recording industry, to determine whether the work is eligible and entered in the correct category for official nomination.
The resulting list is circulated to all NARAS members, each of whom may vote to nominate in the general field (Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist) and in no more than nine out of 30 other fields on their ballots. The five recordings that earn the most votes in each category become the nominees. There may be more than five nominees if there is a tie in the nomination process.
Whereas members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are generally invited to screenings or are sent DVDs of movies nominated for Oscars, NARAS members do not receive nominated recordings.
After nominees have been determined, final voting ballots are sent to Recording Academy members, who may then vote in the general fields and in no more than eight of the 30 fields. NARAS members are encouraged, but not required, to vote only in their fields of expertise. Ballots are tabulated secretly by the major independent accounting firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.[10] Following the tabulation of votes the winners are announced at the Grammy Awards. The recording with the most votes in a category wins and it is possible to have a tie. Winners are presented with the Grammy Award and those who do not win are given a medal for their nomination.
In both voting rounds, Academy members are required to vote based upon quality alone, and not to be influenced by sales, chart performance, personal friendships, regional preferences or company loyalty. The acceptance of gifts is prohibited. Members are urged to vote in a manner that preserves the integrity of the academy.
 
Really interesting dude too. Locked himself in a cabin in Wisconsin when he recorded his first album.
 
Yeah, Bon Iver is actually deserving, and he fucks with Ye so he's cool. Skrillex is okay if you are into the dubstep scene, but he is about the most mainstream guy doing the thing. A lot better DJs out there than him IMO.
 
From what I read dubstep is dead bro, its all about "brostep" now.

(I have literally no fucking idea what that means)
 
Props to Jennifer Hudson. She didn't have much time to put this together.
 
I think Bon Iver was the only acceptable winner from the New Artist nominees.

This whole show is a joke. Kanye gets shut out of Album of the Year for one of the best rap albums ever with MBDTF, and that ass pirate Bruno Mars gets nominated, along with the craptastic Gaga and the lame Foo Fighters. This show really is a joke.

Hahahahaha, somebody neg-repped me for using ass pirate, and then said it's not cool to use that and faggot, even if Tyler the Creator uses them. Thanks for the laugh dude.

This is for you.
 
It is kind of a joke that he's winning "best new artist" when his work has been fairly well known for a few years now.

Oh, brostep. It was started as a joke and is now just a sub-scene within dubstep. Just a more party feel to dubstep. More of the jumping around, "bro-ing out" feel. Still really is just dubstep.

And yes, Skrillex is the most mainstream of the dubstep artists but you gotta admit he makes some catchy stuff. He also always puts on a sick show.

Tiesto, Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Afrojack, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Kaskade, David Guetta, etc. are all other pretty big names in the scene.
 
Also where is some Black Keys love? Gold on the Ceiling is the best thing I've heard in a long goddamn time.
