Well here we are again. The time when the old, white men of the recording industry decide to bestow their blessings on artists who they feel should get a Grammy award while the rest of us pull out our hair because the real talents didn't get any recognition.

The Suburbs and Florence + The Machine and Mumford & Sons are up for Best New Artist. It's talent that definitely…
