i am so horrified by the grammy nominations. not that i really expect them to reflect actual talent and music that maybe, um, mattered in any given year, but AVRIL LAVIGNE???? 5 nominations???? sk8tr boi?????? that song is possibly the biggest piece of crap Ever. what irks me the most is that she posits herself as being so "different" and "punk." her music is just as fluffy as anything by britney spears or nsync, and acting as if it's not is annoying. i wouldn't have nearly as much of a problem with her if she admitted that it's all pop, regardless of whether you have a skateboard in yr video. come on, green day was so much more punk than the blink 182's/avril's/sum 41's of today, and green day eventually lost almost all of their punk credibility.
blargh.
