Unlike most Grammy Awards ceremonies, there are actually a few great bands performing at this year’s event on February 8. Paul McCartney and Radiohead join Jay-Z, T.I. and Kanye West as the entertainment at the Staples Center. McCartney will be backed by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters on drums.
Here’s a quick look at what’s happening elsewhere this afternoon…
- Music festivals offer fans the option of layaway tickets
- Steve Martin picks and grins on his new banjo album
- Mike Greenhaus goes backstage with the Disco Biscuits
- Fleet Foxes worship at the alter of AC’s Merriweather Post
- Greg Lake pens an open letter to Phish about New Orleans
- Catch Lee Johnson’s Dead Symphony tonight in San Fran
Finally, Rolling Stone has an interesting piece on The State’s upcoming reunion at SketchFest in San Francisco. Apparently, Blues Traveler backed out of an appearance on the troupe’s ill-fated CBS variety show when Saturday Night Live came calling. Check out the article for all the details.
