So I’m not exactly sure what it was about the comment I posted that made Stephen decide I had the right stuff to write for this site, but hey I’ll give it my best shot and we’ll see what happens. People will either read it or they won’t I guess.

Quickly let me tell you a little bit about me. My name is Justin Robert, and I’ve been a musician for the past 24 years of my life. I’m mostly a drummer, but also went to school back in the day of ADATs for music production, I’ve made a few VST synths, and play some other things like guitar, bass, keys, vocals and whatnot. I’ve recorded a plethora of albums on my own that date back to the mid 90s. My early days I was the drummer for the hardcore band Lincoln from West Virginia, which happens to be why I chose the name Mothman as my moniker, since this Winged folkloric menacing creature is from my home state. I currently reside in Saint Petersburg, FL which is a nice town with lots of sun and good people. (continue reading…)

Lady Gaga tweeted this wonderful black and white photo of herself, right when it was announced that she won her Grammy Awards.

She tweeted, “beautiful photo taken of me the moment I found out i won my grammys. All the hundreds of songs I wrote, the thousands of shows, the fans, all the blood and tears flashing instantly. photo by haus member the famous “Dada” Williams.”

Well deserved! You go girl! There’s more to come in the future, just keep making awesome music.

And congrats!

According to reports, Beyonce is gearing up to record a duet with Kings Of Leon. Talk about weird collaborations!

She was said to have approached Nathan, Caleb, Jared and Matthew Followill at a Grammy afterparty where she discussed the joint venture.

A source said, “Beyonce looked stunning and was chatting to virtually every major star on hand. She kissed Kings Of Leon on their cheeks and congratulated them on winning an award for ‘Use Somebody’. They were chatting for ages. She knows how huge they are in the UK and loves their album. She was scouting for people to collaborate with and has been talking about doing something different with a rock band. Kings Of Leon would be perfect.”

What do you think? I think she needs to collaborate with Lady Gaga more, but that’s my humble opinion.

Drake told “Extra” in a recent interview that he would be down with a Taylor Swift collaboration. He also said that his favorite moment from the Grammy Awards on Sunday was seeing the country star.

He said, “Seeing Taylor Swift in person is always fun for me. I bought this Taylor Swift t-shirt the other day that I might wear tonight. I just have this small little thing with her, I just like her whole being. I’m excited about her career and I’m excited about wearing my t-shirt tonight.”

When asked if he would consider a duet with Taylor, he replied, “That would be nice, I’m down!”

Stranger things have happened.

Apparently there are some people saying that Pink lip-synced her song “Glitter In The Air” at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, but she’s debunking the rumors.

She tweeted, “I hear there’s a debate over whether or not I sang live on grammies. I have never lip synched in my entire life. I’m 100% against it.”

And there you have it! Not that we believed the rumors anyways.

With the Grammys wrapping up Sunday night, we’ve had a moment or two to reflect on the talent that has received those awards.

Deserving or not, if they made a splash last year, then they probably were awarded a Grammy. Not to say that Taylor Swift didn’t deserve her Grammys, but it’s giving way to more popular folks getting the awards, rather than those who actually deserve to win, strictly based on talent.

I was given a link to this nifty website, which points out the top ten musical talents who never received recognition by the recording academy.

The top ten:

• 1. The Who
• 2. Bob Marley
• 3. Diana Ross
• 4. Led Zeppelin
• 5. Grateful Dead
• 6. Queen
• 7. Jimi Hendrix
• 8. Lynyrd Skynyrd
• 9. The Doors
• 10. Buddy Holly

Are you surprised at this list? Some of the most prominent names in Rock N Roll today are on this list. They built the foundation for which rock music was made and yet, were never recognized by the recording academy. Yet they grant four Grammys to Taylor Swift. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Your thoughts?

When Lady Gaga appeared on the red carpet at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, it was obvious that she wouldn’t be trying to sit down in this number. Let alone use the bathroom.

Someone posed the question to E-Online’s Answer Bitch asking how celebrities use the ladies room when they wear contraptions like this. We’ve taken the liberty of answering the question ourselves. You’re welcome.

But we’ve got the perfect fix for those who want to wear outrageous clothes like this dress and still be able to pee. Gaga could have benefited greatly from the “Go Girl”, which allows ladies to pee standing up.

Now isn’t that easier?

If you were like us last night, you were complaining loud and clear over Drake, Eminem and Lil Wayne’s Grammy Awards performance last night.

The trio took to the stage last night, along with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and performed “Drop The World” and “Forever”, but CBS opted to blank out large chunks of the performance, due to swearing.

Now, you can listen to the song the way it was supposed to be aired. After the jump for the goodies! (continue reading…)

And now with video!

At last night’s Grammy Awards, while in the press room, Taylor Swift proved that she didn’t deserve that last Grammy that she racked up for the night.

She dropped it! One of the Grammy people said for her not to worry because they have more of them.

After the jump for the video goodness! (continue reading…)

Russell Brand was hanging out on the red carpet before the Grammys started last night, when he was approached by an Access Hollywood correspondent and “Jersey Shore” star, The Situation.

The trio talked about Russell’s chest hair, and GTO, which is code for “gel, tanning and outfit”. Afterward, Russell grabs his microphone and does nasty things with it.

Watch the funny clip after the jump! (continue reading…)

Pink thought she was going to hit the floor while performing “Glitter In The Air” at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

She wore a sparkly nude bodysuit and was elevated into the air for the performance. After her routine, she said, “When I do it on tour, I don’t have lights above me. There were lights above me, so it almost went into a strobe thing, and I actually did get a little turned around. I thought I was going to fall on my nude butt. But I worked it out.”

Thank God for that, that would’ve been a catastrophe.

Now here’s a chipmunk wanting to do some good for the people who were affected by the disaster in Haiti. Apparently, Miley Cyrus is selling off her Grammys dress for Haiti relief.

She said, “I’m going to auction it off on eBay for the Red Cross. It’s the little things you can do. I think it’s really important that everybody come together because disaster relief isn’t just now. It’s how we’re going to help years from now. We have to restore an entire place. It just can’t be one person, one foundation, one group of people. All people have to come together.”

Kudos to her. Good chipmunk!

Let me start off by saying this: I hate censorship in any form, so these blank silences throughout Lil Wayne, Drake and Eminem’s performance of “Forever” just baffled me to no end. I like my gangster rap with swear words, thank you very much.

The censorship people at CBS left huge chunks of the song out to dead silence for at least two-thirds of the show. If you’re going to censor most of the performance in huge pieces, then why let them on stage in the first place? It’s not like you had no idea what they were going to rap up there.

According to NY Mag, we have all of the lyrics that were bleeped out. After the jump for the times and lyrics of the blanked out lyrics, along with the video: (continue reading…)

At last night’s Grammy Awards, Stephen Colbert opened the show by razzing just about everybody in attendance, and even one who wasn’t there, Susan Boyle.

He started off by saying, “We are here tonight to celebrate what I believe is our most precious right, the right of celebrities to congratulate each other.”

Then, after trying to be “cool” for his daughter, he hit out at Susan Boyle. He said, “Congratulations to all of you, but what I want to know is — Why isn’t Susan Boyle here? I mean, she accomplished something huge this year. You all may have brought the sexy back, but she sent it away again! No thanks Sexy, we’re just going with good singing this year.”

He added, “Seriously, you may be cool here but this year your industry was saved by a 48 year old Scottish cat lady in sensible shoes. So, give it up for Susan Boyle! congratulations, Susan!”

Check out the video, after the jump! (continue reading…)

I don’t know if I’m feeling the outfit/getup/whatever that Fergie wore during her Black Eyed Peas performance at tonight’s Grammy Awards.

Whatever it is, it looks like it could be in the next Tron movie. Neon would make this picture much cooler.

What did you think?

Taylor Swift won four Grammy Awards at tonight’s celebration, but when she made it to the press room for photos, she just couldn’t seem to keep her hands on all of them.

You know, if you can’t hold onto them, I’m sure someone else is more deserving (ahem, Lady Gaga). Just sayin’.

T. Swift fans, please form a line to the left when you start hatin’. Kthnxbye.
