The 2013 Grammy Awards aired last night on television, and now those of us not willing to kill four hours with ego and glitter can read up on all the shenanigans thanks to countless blogs and news blurbs. We may run a few stories on various performances or behind-the-scenes moments as the day carries on, but for now we’re sticking to what is really important (the winners).

Good to see Fun. and Frank Ocean do well. Also, Halestorm is one of my favorite radio-rock bands, so I’m glad they won one.
