The Arcade Fire wins album of the year at the Grammys yet nobody knows them. A funny thing (one of several funny things) was them introducing themselves to the press backstage after winning. However the funniest item had to be a site with pages and pages of Tweets from people who did not know them or hear of them, including Dog The Bounty Hunter and Rosie O'Donnell among others.
Justin Bieber was 0 fer at the show also, which resulted in several of his fans taking to the winner's site and posting less than kind remarks. How dare somebody who can sing, writing their own songs without relying and 211 co-writers and play an instrument deserve anything over Justin? I mean really.
Performances of the Grammys were less than memorable except for perhaps one or two, notably Mr. Jagger paying homage to Solomon Burke at the ripe age of 67. And still delivering the goods as he has all this time.
And now listening to the Cowboy Junkies new album entitled Demons, which can be accessed here for great aural pleasure. Culled from the work of the late Vic Chesnutt who decided to off himself a while back, Cowboy Junkies -- and especially the fine, no, stellar pipes of Margo Timmins -- nail this material effortlessly. Definitely a keeper.
Will post again soon, busy you know.....
