So who felt like they were robbed of a storybook ending last night? Gaga walked away with 3 Grammys, Eminemn 2, Bieber 0; and the world was devastated to learn that a band called "Arcade Fire," took their most coveted trophy of the night.
But according to
Alternapop, you are listening to the radio way too much and buying your music at Wal-Mart, hence the reason you don't know the bands and musicians who have been nominated more times and selling out more concerts than the ones you love.
"The Twitter world was full of “Arcade Fire who?” and “Who is Arcade Fire? I’ve never heard of them” postings. Maybe these people should turn off the radio and start buying their music from places other than the bin at the end of the aisle at Walmart.
Arcade Fire has released three solid albums and the previous two were also nominated for Album of the Year. (2004′s Funeral and 2008′s Neon Bible) If you’ve never heard of them until now, it might be time you evaluate your music sources.
Arcade Fire is only co-headling one of the largest and successful music festivals this April, Coachella, in Southern California, that sold out in a record 6 days, with Kanye and Kings of Leon.
The Suburbs was released by Merge Records, the indie label based in Durham, North Carolina, that has been home to underground acts like Lou Barlow, The Clientele, Superchunk and Neutral Milk Hotel. In addition to performing, Arcade Fire was up for three Grammys this year."
I still feel robbed! Just like when a Canadian won the "AMERICAN" Music Award's top prize. I don't know, I'm so tired of the academies that decide who should win what. And this goes for everything; from CMA's to AMA's, VMA's, Oscars, Golden Globes, etc., etc.. What do you think?
