Blow The Scene.com - Underground Music, Art, and News

The nimrods in charge of this infectious boil on the face of music announced yesterday that they will again honor the reigning tapeworms that have emerged from recording industry’s pulsating sphincter this year. Whoever has chosen this crop of crap has forfeited the right to have ears. The Hard Rock category (usually the only listenable portion of this egregious disgrace of an awards show) is a grunge revival that would have sucked twenty years ago. Now, to use an equally dated reference, it sucks harder than a White House intern.
