2009 Grammy's !

^ Coldplay at the Grammy's with Lost and Viva la Vida.
Didn't Chris Martin seem so spaztic?
He was hopping around like a flipping bunny !

These bluegrass Robert Plant and Alison Krauss folk dominated the Grammy's Awards last night. Mehhh w/e, but at least Coldplay and Daft Punk got some recognition, though Coldplay's Violet Hill got neine in two noms.

Here are some selections from the winner's list:
