I can’t believe it’s been almost a week since I posted here. A crazy week it’s been.
Anyways, onto the important topic at hand: The Grammy’s. The standouts for myself were the awesome performance of Mumford and Sons along with the Avett Brothers (Bob Dylan, you get an A for effort…) and the wonderful performances by everyone’s favourite Montreal indie-rockers Arcade Fire.
Not only did Arcade Fire perform two songs off their most recent release, The Suburbs, but they also won the highly prestigious album of the year award. I think lead singer Win Butler’s acceptance speech said it best: “We’re going to play another song for you guys because we like music.”
It was perfect. It wasn’t because they had to. It wasn’t because they were contractually obligated to. They just like music. It was a simple message with heart-warming undertones.
This isn’t to say the rest of the show wasn’t entertaining. Beiber’s dancing with Usher was entertaining and the rap skills of Will Smith’s son were impressive, but at the end of the day these are music awards.
With that being said, today’s post is dedicated to the Grammy winners. Below is the performance by Mumford and Sons, The Avett Brothers, and what’s left of Mr. Dylan, as well as the acceptance speech and second song by Arcade Fire.
Enjoy
