WHO DAT. SUE ME.

First, a brief thought on the Grammy's.

And the award for Album of the Year goes to Taylor Swift—Fearless.

Really?

Here's what PopEater.com has to say about it.

I know I said I don't like Lady GaGa that much, but she definitely deserved that award. Such a significant amount of the songs on her album The Fame were incredibly successful on radio stations. "Just Dance," "PokerFace," "LoveGame," "Paparazzi," "Boys Boys Boys," etc. And Beyoncé! I Am... Sasha Fierce was an incredible album. "Single Ladies," "Halo," "Diva," "If I Were a Boy."

And now, I'll talk about the Saints.

Above is footage of a couple of my friends and I completely losing ourselves in the celebratory music of a couple of French Quarter residents immediately following the Saints' miraculous victory over the Vikings last Sunday night. Presenting this video is the closest I think I'll ever come to adequately describing the wave of (tear-filled) joy that swept over the entire city right as Garrett Hartley kicked that already-legendary field goal.

Most (I think 85% is a fair estimate) of the conversations I've had over this, the subsequent, week have revolved around this amazing football team. I've discussed the drunken hilarity that is Bobby Hebert and the fashionable men in dresses honoring Buddy D.; the disappointment this city's come to expect for the last 43 years and the extreme astonishment that will follow a Superbowl win (which I'm sure will force the city to completely shut down for several days).

I'm writing this immediately after having attended the Battle of the Saints Songs at the Howlin' Wolf. All the local artists who have put out Saints related tracks this season and some other special surprises (Rebirth Brass Band!) performed their respective songs. Such hits as Leslie Limberg's "Party in the MIA" set to the tune of Miley Cyrus's much inferior song and Baby Boy da Prince's "This is the Way We Live (2009 Saints remix)" were performed to a crowd of screaming WhoDatters. And since I just said Who Dat, I feel like I should mention that nearly all of the artists expressed their disapproval of the NFL's recent claim to that phrase. Puh-lease, NFL, that's like Budweiser saying they own "What's up?" (I guess "WHAAAAZZZZAAAAAAAAAAP" is a more accurate spelling, though.)
