Last night's ceremony did go on forever, but there were some cool moments.

• Amy Winehouse (or as I'm calling her until it catches on, Amy Win-house) delivered a performance to be proud of.

• Kanye invoked his mom to get TPTB to stop the "wrap it up" music.

• Rihanna had Jay-Z to help her give a cute acceptance speech.

• Also she performed with The Time, while wearing an ostrich.

• Vince Gill poke some good natured fun at Kanye.

• Daft Punk showed up!

• And Feist was there. She got a bit lost in the shuffle, but she still gave a sweet performance.

Yeah, three of my seven highlights invoke 'Ye. I'm kind of obsessed. He's just fascinating.

Emily may be on vaca, but we're hearing nominations for some sort of music awards are out today?

Something called the Grammys?

Fooo. Check out some of Emily's posts on her fave bands... some day they, too, will be recognized.

Maybe the Hulmies.

They may not be the Grammys (or even the Teen Choice Awards), but the PLUG Awards (for independent and underground artists) know how to throw a good concert. This year, the awards ceremony/concert features Stephen Malkmus headlining and David Cross hosting. Other performers include Silversun Pickups, El-P, Tokyo Police Club and Deerhoof.

Last year's event was notable for the bizarre ramble by former Pitchfork writer, then-Village Voice scribe Nick Sylvester. The weirdness was compounded by the fact that weeks later Sylvester was fired from the Voice for fabricating details for a front page article.

Here's hoping for a mishap-free show this year. The show is at Irving Plaza on February 10, and more information (including a ballot, so that Time Magazine Person of the Year, You, can participate in the voting as well) is available at the Plug Awards Web site.
