Arcade Fire Wins Grammy, prompting Americans to wonder who they are anyway
squawk:
Arcade Fire surprises me like every two weeks with how much I truly love them. Watching Win smile when they ran back onstage to play Ready to Start was just the best. Especially since I don't think they were supposed to do that.
I don't know, I just have a really deep emotional bond and affinity with this band because they were basically my first indie rock band back in 2004 when I was twelve and uh, I've never looked back, really. And seeing them live twice was just... aaaaaaaaaaaa.
Anyway, I love that tumblr. It's interesting that for how """""mainstream"""" AF is now, they're still just some band that nobody's heard of
calenlass:
Man, last year during the NFL Super Bowl there was an advert for the NFL that had "Wake Up" as the track. It was so weird. No one plays the Arcade Fire here, it's never on the radio, no one in the US knows who they are. I am glad they finally won a thing, though, I guess.
JD:
They didn't really have much opposition.
Tom:
Arcade Fire; the most mainstream band you've never heard of.
valley_parade:
I didn't know who they were before it was cool to not know who they were.
Actually...well I did know who they were...they just don't do anything for me. Mehhh.
BUT. The dude has a MusicMan amp! And I use one of those (sometimes). That's kinda cool.
