In honor of Valentine's Day and their Grammy win, I profess my love for Arcade Fire

Okay, I know I have already done this several times in the last year, but what's one more time?

Especially for the winners of ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!

They rock, they rule, they totally make me drool.

Arcade Fire then (2005)
"Wake Up" from Funeral

(and yes, that song was used in the Where the Wild Things Are movie)

And Arcade Fire now (the bikes make sense now, don't they?)
"The Suburbs" from The Suburbs


Also, their songs - every single one of them - make for the perfect writing anthem.

So go little friends and celebrate one of the best upsets in the Grammys' history. Oh, and celebrate Valentine's Day too.

Okay, end psycho fan moment.

Happy Valentine's Day!

    I think you knew they were going to win because of special ninja powers that you possess.

    THANK YOU! I love that song and never knew who sang it. (True, it's out of my own laziness that my curiosity went on so long since Googling it would have been easy enough.) These are definitely going on my playlist.

    Happy Valentine's Day!

    I'm still unpleasantly surprised that I personally didn't win any Grammies last night :)
