Friday Afternoon Diversion – 10 most awesomely unimportant grammy performances ever

By | February 11, 2011

Chicagoist

Listen, the Grammys are pointless. Hell, they’re less than pointless. When it comes to even the 35,000 foot view of popular culture Pitchfork is more relevant than the Grammys. How could an awards show steeped in the perspective of a business that still views the ’60s and ’70s as its boom years? Don’t worry though, the Grammys have always been out of touch, as proven by this nifty little video curated by Maura Johnston.

NOTE: We STRENUOUSLY disagree with the inclusion of Hanson. “MMMBop” is one of the CLASSICS of the last century. And we’re reasonably sure Maura is pulling our leg with the Bonnie Tyler bit, since everyone knows that’s also a classic.

From the Band

Next week we will be going into the studio writing and recording for the 2011 Members EP. We are also going to be streaming live everyday during the process, letting our Members in on the process. It should be fun for those of you who want to know what it is like to watch us work. Don’t forget these are members only streams so you will have to go to the aLive@hnet section and then click on the backstage pass banner. We are also planning a members event for May in Tulsa. Details should be announced on the 20th, and RSVP’S soon after that, so be on the lookout.

We want to thank everyone who submitted ideas for the Chance and Community Chest cards on the Hansonopoly board game. Just last night we finally finished going through and picking what cards will be included and they are going to add a lot to the game. See you next week.

1990s

Between “Saved by the Bell,” “Beverly Hills 90210,” “Blossom,” “Boy Meets World” and “Home Improvement” there were plenty of dreamy TV teens to choose from. Meanwhile, Hanson’s “MmmBop” seemed like it would never get out of our heads. More hot picks: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Joey Lawrence, Jaleel White, Jason Priestley, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Luke Perry, Neil Patrick Harris, Will Smith
