from Amplified w/Darby

You know who won the Grammys — I’ll give you my thoughts and takeaways. I talk through the performances I liked, the wins that stood out, and why it’s still wild that The Cure just won their first Grammy after all these years.From there, it’s a run through the rest of the music news: Deftones selling most of their catalog, Nine Inch Nails picking up a Grammy after a 30-year gap, and Megadeth landing their first-ever No. 1 album with their final release. There’s also Warped Tour news, discussion around a Red Hot Chili Peppers Netflix documentary, and Al Jourgensen showing up in a new horror-comedy.I wrap things up with a couple records worth your time right now, including Blackwater Holylight and Softcult, plus a few thoughts on Super Bowl halftime culture and the growing overlap between music and politics.New episodes Tuesdays and Fridays.Rock news • New music • Loud opinionsFollow the show on Instagram & TikTok: @darby.amplifiedAll the news, all the noise, all in one place.
