This week, I express my frustrations with award shows after finding out that my childhood friend was recently nominated for 2 MTV Video Music Awards as a co-director of the stunning music video for Irish singer-songwriter Hozier's 'Take Me To Church'. We also admire the confidence of indie rockers Foals in delivering their latest slice of arena-funk 'What Went Down', and soak up the wisdom from hip hop grandmaster GZA on his 2005 chess-themed concept album.
