I was blown away by Bruno Mars last night, doing a nice Motown take during the show. Also some VERY tasty bass work (very Motown) by the backing group. Janelle Monae also did OK, but I thought Mars stole the whole routine.
The good stuff starts at 2:40 into this clip... http://www.prefixmag.com/news/janell...bruno-m/49350/
We could use a LOT more of this kind of music!

Also, the amount of people who didn't know Arcade Fire was hilarious. ( whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com - there is vulgarity and obliviousness, both in large doses)

| | | | Janelle Monae is awesome. Her last album was top 5 of last year, IMO. She's like a female version of Outkast being backed by Funkadelic with some Prince stuff going on and James Brown dance moves |

My mother in law to be had the nerve to think that his single would be a good first dance at our wedding. NOT gonna happen.
