I really don't blame them, Arcade Fire are booooring... They should have given it to a good indie artist instead.

Congratulations to Arcade Fire anyway. No matter what your opinion is on the Grammys, it must feel fantastic to have your debut album win the best album category.

The Suburbs is not their debut. It's their third album. Their debut, Funeral, was released in 2004.

Thanks for the info I'll try to check the album out if I can later. I couldn't get any of their music on spotify but I listened to the title track of Suburbs and Mountains Beyond Mountains, both were fantastic Has anyone added their older stuff on BEA yet? I imagine we would have an influx of it soon.

Sorry for the missed sarcasm. My bad.

Everyone has messed up their name.

Arcane Fire
Arcade Fries
Arcadia Fire
The Suburbs

On the site now, there is a song made up about the whole 'controversy'.

I'm embarrassed for avoiding The Suburbs at the 08 BDO. I had no idea who they were, now they are easily one of my favorite bands. Seriously though can't believe that dude who messed up their name.

Some people might have missed it.

. Thanks for that Harkan. How are Arcade Fire hipster? you really have to be ignorant about music to think that. I mean they got to number fucking 1 in the charts last year. I didn't realise how many people followed the grammys I guess, I just went on to youtube and searched Arcade Fire and every single video is flooded with arguments over why "Slim" shoulda won. Hilarious. I thought they were already pretty massive but I guess this could put them over the edge.

Oh and my favourite off that blog: the guy who corrects his friend and quite condescendingly:

Okay, I know who they are but some people don't.

A blogger started this about the reception to Arcade Fire's grammy win. Quite funny.
