Congratulations to Arcade Fire for taking home the Grammy last night for Album of the Year. I was so excited when I heard Barbara Streisand mumble - clearly unaware of which was the artist and which was the album - that I barely noticed when she and Kris Kristofferson awkwardly attempted to say goodnight (was this weird for anyone else?). Then Arcade Fire took their rightfully deserved opportunity to close the show. What a moment. The Suburbs is without a doubt one of the best albums of 2010. This is a concept album at its best; each song has a specific intention and order, they marry so well. Being independent, humble, Canadian ... all of these things made this win one of my most memorable.
