Arcade Fire and Muse Win at The Grammys!
Okay, I know that this is a film site, and normally, I could give a flying crap about the Grammy Awards. Not exactly my cup of tea. However, I just had to post this in congratulations. I’d say that I have about a three-way tie for what I would call my favorite band, and tonight two of those bands took home big awards. Muse won Best Rock Album and The Arcade Fire somehow managed to take down BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR, beating out much more popular (and dare I say unimpressive) artists Lady Antebellum, Eminem, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. What a hell of a great night.
Muse fans aren’t that hard to come by anymore, but if you haven’t heard any of Arcade Fire’s three CDs, then you should do yourself a favor and listen to them, now. I’ve provided a couple of videos to make the job easier.
This is one of my personal favorites from their 2nd CD, “Neon Bible”:
And here is a song off of their now Grammy Award-winning album “The Suburbs”:
All right. Now back to movies.
The Grammys decided to be awesome the year I finally boycott them for being ridiculous.
