"Ulysses" - Franz Ferdinand
Note: this is the year's sexiest single so far:
I'm bored, yeah I'm bored
C'mon let's get high!

It's a Frohawk, Yo
The Grammys blew like it always does, but at least we all had a good laugh.
With that said, it'll now take nothing short of a rainbow rasterbation of some impossible Kurt Cobain / Jimi Hendrix hybrid to spark my interest in a televised awards show. My biggest complaint was that the two performances featuring Lil Wayne were dull as hell. Where was "A Milli?"
Okay, so the fact that smiley-faced mom and dad rock swept at the podium was pretty unremarkable. As for Radiohead's castrated romp alongside those regimental nothings from the University of Spoiled Children, let's just pretend that shit never happened.
In retrospect, the whole thing just seemed rushed, with distracted performer/presenters caught up in a flurry of bad jokes and Twitter jitters. Personal highlights included Katy Perry's descent to the stage in a gilded banana capsule, Kate Beckinsale, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
If I could've written the program, it would've run like this:
Al Green featuring Raphael Saadiq and Q-Tip
"We Fight We Love" / "Let's Stay Together"
Katy Perry featuring William Shatner and a bunch of fruit
"I Kissed A Girl"
Estelle featuring Kanye West
"American Boy"
Weezer featuring Michael Jackson live from Qatar via satellite uplink
"Everybody Get Dangerous" / "Dangerous"
Adele featuring Christian Bale
"Chasing Pavements" / "No, Bruce, let me finish!"
Paul McCartney featuring Dave Grohl, Keith Richards, and Prince
"I Want You (She's So Heavy)" / "Scentless Apprentice"
Lil Wayne featuring Marilyn Manson
"Prom Queen"
A Tribute to Prasad & The Patils: Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx, Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder
"Blue Moon" / "Moonlight Bay" / "Death Blow"
Goodbye Old Yeller
The Public Execution of Coldplay by Sarah Dupuis
Requiem: M.I.A.
"Paper Planes"
Radiohead featuring Chali2na and Amplive
"Reckoner" / "Reckonerz"
Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus
"Lemon Incest"
Okay, okay, maybe not that last thing.

It's not me, it's Lue

Earlier this afternoon the Magic traded Keith "Vintage" Bogans and some cash for Milwaukee Bucks point guard and returning Magician Tyronn Lue.
This from ESPN:
"Tyronn is a veteran point guard who fits in well with our style of play," Magic general manager Otis Smith said in a statement. "He shoots well from 3-point range and adds needed depth at that position. We thank Keith for everything he gave to us and wish him all the best."
Lue has played 30 games this season for Milwaukee, averaging 4.7 points and 1.5 assists. He played 76 games for the Magic in 2003-04 and will be asked to help in Nelson's absence.
Schmitz says the deal is "pretty decent," but that guy can barely spell. On the other hand, our friends at the Orlando Magic Blog are appalled by the trade ("Fuck You Otis"). I'm personally worried because dude looks like he's about 12 and just scrapes 6 feet.
Lue during his '03-04 year with the Magic:
Games started/played: 69/76
Points: 10.5
Assists: 4.2
His FT and 3-point percentages this year:
FT: .750
3P: .467
So, what up crew?
