There will be welcome returns (Adele, the Beach Boys), fond farewells (Etta James, Clarence Clemons) and exciting debuts (Nicki Minaj, Deadmau5). Here's what to look out for this Sunday
This weekend, 78 prizes will be distributed at the 54th Grammy awards. Some statuettes will go to veterans, some to newcomers â€' and many will probably go to Adele. But nobody watches the Grammys for the prizes: here are 10 better reasons to follow Sunday's broadcast.
Never mind that the bestselling artist of 2011 is nominated for six awards â€' the big news is Adele's live comeback. Four months after she cancelled her US tour to undergo throat surgery, the English singer is still America's No 1 act and her performance is the night's most anticipated set. Adele last appeared at the 2009 Grammys, where she won best new artist and best female pop vocal performance.
After decades of relegating dance music to the non-televised portion of the proceedings, the Grammys have woken up and smelled the dubstep. For the first time, a DJ â€' Skrillex â€' has been nominated for best new artist. And producers are building an outdoor stage for their celebration of electronic thump. Canadian DJ Deadmau5 will reportedly perform his remix of Foo Fighters' Rope â€' assisted by the Foos themselves â€' while French DJ David Guetta will perform I Can Only Imagine with Lil Wayne and...
As reported, beloved Welsh singer Tom Jones teamed up with Jack White for an installment of the Third Man Records Blue Series, a collection produced by White at his Third Man studio in Nashville. Consequence of Sound points out that the collaboration-- a cover of blues cut "Evil" (made popular by Howlin' Wolf")-- is here via BBC 6 Radio, and it features White himself.

The long-absent Odd Future member, Earl Sweatshirt, proves his return with his new song, "Home."
Singer speaks about vocal problems before her Grammys comeback
| |
As Odd Future fans and New Yorker readers both know, OF member Earl Sweatshirt has been M.I.A. since the group began attracting attention (it's presumed that he has been at a youth camp in Samoa). Back in November, OF leader Tyler, the Creator engaged in some heavy trolling by claiming that Earl had returned from whereever he'd been all this time-- but this time, it looks like he might actually be back.
The long-absent teenage MC appeared to start a fresh Twitter with an announcement of being home.
Van Halen might be on its way to a sixth career No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart -- unless Adele's "21" stands in the veteran band's way.
The first bash will take place in Hoxton on February 24

UPDATE: Best Coast Tweets, "LOUtallica + METallica are 2 different bands the latter being one of mine + Bobbs favorites We are honored 2 be playing," and "stop worrying about my life and live your own"
Haha, remember when Bethany Cosentino called the Metallica/Lou Reed album "the worst thing I've ever heard"? That apparently didn't stop Metallica from hand-selecting Best Coast for their new Atlantic City festival, Orion Music & More.
