The 3rd Annual Grahammy Awards!
It is finally the time of year for the biggest awards in music The Grahammy's! This week the winners will are crowned and those receiving awards can have their careers changed forever. Many of these artists see this award as their assent to the top of their field.
And the awards go to...
Best Cover
Cigarettes After Sex - Neon Moon
I wouldn’t have guessed a Brooks & Dunn cover would make earn an award this year but it turns out that I like anything that Cigarettes After Sex puts out.
“No telling how many tears
I’ve sat here and cried
Or how many lies
That I’ve lied
Telling my poor heart
She’ll come back someday”
Most Surprising Song
Amanda Palmer & Jasmine Power -Mr. Weinstein Will See You Now
This song perhaps more than any other this year encapsulates best the series of disturbing abuses of power in the entertainment industry that have been living just below the surface for years. This song stuck with me after listening to it in a way that most songs don’t.
“I storm out through the hallway
I leave the scars inside
You won’t portray my picture
This film is mine”
Best Songwriting
Leon bridges - Beyond
An absolutely beautiful song about falling in love and taking the plunge. I watched one of my best friends dance to this song as his first dance with his bride and I don’t think they could have picked a better choice.
“I’m scared to death that she might be it
That the love is real, that the shoe might fit
She might just be my everything and beyond”
Best Track
Cigarettes After Sex - Sesame Syrup
This track would fit in perfectly with their last album and that is about as high as a compliment I can give. Another perfect love song with a mood all its own.
“You’ve had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to you except me
I’ve had a long list of lovers
But none of them matter to me except you”
Album of the Year
Welles - Red Trees and White Trashes
I'm pretty confident that this will be the only place you see this album listed as the best of the year. I am fine with that. I’ve seen this band live twice and am going for a third time next week and couldn’t be more excited. I think this is just the beginning for Welles who but together a great rock album.
“And it’s cold in the water
I wonder if I should bother
You know she’s somebody’s daughter
When she gets old it’ll haunt her
I’m here tonight, I have got her”
