Greetings my readers of “The Chronicles”, I wanted to take a moment out of the busy day to let you know that this Piercing Ken website has been using the Instagram photo-sharing network for ten full years now.

It’s interesting and challenging work for sure and I hope you like seeing me all official-like.

Last night, the Recording Academy handed out the trophies during the 64th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony and no, I didn’t manage to watch or even DVR the program. I worked all day and then spent the night rocking out with Dragonforce for the PiercingMetal site. I did cull the winners into the list that you will find below and this time around I’ve decided to leave off the other nominees in most of the categories since the original list was a lengthy and ponderous read. You can compare notes on the Nominations post found HERE if you like. Here now are your winners for the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. Enjoy.
