Flashing Lights Will Make You Blind

Mixtapes by Mick Boogie popped up twice on my iTunes DJ this morning. Since there are no big coincidences or little coincidences, just coincidences (Seinfeld, anyone?) I thought I might need to blurb about them.

First, Mick Boogie lays his magic on Grammy-Award winning Adele and her debut album, 19 in his 1988 mixtape. I love on it for the sole reason that sometimes even songbirds benefit from a beat. My favorites:


Mick and Terry Urban tear up the Grammy nominees on 2009: The Grammy Remix Album. Don't grab your best stationary though; there's nothing to write home about. Considering the talent pool this year (Jonas Bros, Katy Perry, Coldplay, John Mayer?) seems to me they do a decent job of hammering silver out of tin, mediocre out of ... well, you decide.

My highlight. Radiohead is always magic.

I won't go on another tirade about how the Grammys have gone downhill. I'll just submit a quick opinion for public record. Under no circumstances should The Jonas Brothers be allowed to attend the same awards show as Radiohead, let alone be nominated for a similar honor. Parents invented the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards for a reason. Some artists deserve Grammys and some deserve surf boards and green slime. I'm just sayin'...
