    2012 Grammy Awards: Adele sweeps, Bon Iver surprises and Kanye West missing in action

    As anyone and their mother could have (and, ahem, did) predicted, it was Adele's show at last night's 54th Grammy Awards. The singer, who absolutely swept the awards, took home six Grammys -- meaning she won in every category in which she was nominated, including the big three: Song of the Year, Rec ... More >>

    2012 Grammy Nominations: Kanye West and Adele clean up, Katy Perry earns pair of nods

    Grammy nominations for 2012 were announced last night during the Grammys Nomination Concert -- which was, oddly, just that: a concert, not a nominations show.

    This weekend: 5280 Urban Music Awards

    ​Last year's 5280 Awards, a ceremony dedicated to honoring the Mile High City's hip-hop and R&B artists, caused a bit of stir in the scene, mainly due to the process by which the nominees were chosen.

    Welcome to Colorado, home of the Grammys

    Rod Blackhurst​Who do we talk to about changing the state slogan? Instead of the staid "Welcome to Colorful Colorado" phrase that adorns entrance signs at each of our borders, how about we change it to "Welcome to Colorado, Home of the Grammy"?
