I think the best way to put it is that I have been having “fun” with Skrillex this past year and his introduction to Dubstep for the mass audience. If you don’t know who Skrillex is, it is Sonny Moore from the band, From First To Last, and he just had a huge year in 2011 and is currently enjoying an even bigger one now after winning three Grammys.

I have been enjoying all of his stuff lately, but have recently just started checking out his videos. I hope you enjoy his stuff as much as I do. Have fun!

We've been keeping our watchful eye on the Grammys, because for every snub (Kanye's MBDTF??) and bunk nomination (Bruno Mars??), there are stories of well-deserved recognition that straight up warm our hearts. For his underdog Album of the Year nomination, Bon Iver becomes this year's Arcade Fire, right down to the hilarious reaction blog that pays homage to the…

The Grammys wouldn't be the Grammys without the pressure to perform, and sometimes artists just can't make the cut. Since we've already shown you the best Grammys performances ever, we couldn't leave the juicy, or in the case of Pink, wet, performances that made everyone else look AMAZING. Without further adieu, the worst performances available to those that dare on Youtube.

Yes, as of September 21, 2011, R.E.M. has called it quits by announcing on their website that they were ”calling it a day as a band.” Bummed? Even though they were a Grammy award winning band, and many liked them, I can honestly say that I never really got into them at all. So, no, I’m not bummed. Sure, I did like a couple of their songs, but they were their more popular songs that got played on the radio all the time. I am figuring that I will still hear these same songs on the radio though.

What are your thoughts or feelings about the breakup?
