Who is Arcade Fire? Pissed off music fans take their whine riot to Tumblr

 

You'd have thought the stink over indie kids ARCADE FIRE winning Album of the Year at last night's Grammy's would have quieted down a bit, especially on a lover's morning such as this sweet and special Valentine's Day? Nope.People be like, Eminem-level of pissed off.

Have at it, angry folk: //whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com/

    to all of those in New England, Win and Will Butler both attended Phillips Exeter in exeter, NH.  they're local guys and they were just as talented in high school.  i should know, i was there.

    wow...for once someone wins not because their label paid for it, but because the genuinely are good...and people bitch about it?  really?  I'd think more people would be glad the Grammys just got some semblance of credibility.
