Congratulations you guys, indie is saved. Just when I was proclaiming it dead like a week ago, Arcade Fire comes along and makes all of our hard work watching TV with strangers whose one-liners we admire and worth it. This must be what that whole thing in Egypt felt like. SOCIAL MEDIA CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, even if changing the world means letting Canadian Springsteen harrumph out a few melodramatic accordion farts in front of rappers in tuxedos.
So, indie music? Saved. Kind of a Pyrrhic victory though. I'm glad the good guys won here, sure, but it's like in the occasional episode of Justice League when they'd let Aquaman save earth from mutant dolphins from space or whatever because Batman was on vacation. Uh, good work and all, but that's the guy you sent? Or to put it another way: "Them?"

these fighting horse photos are starting to freak me out.
Yeah, I went through a whole cycle of emotions about them. At first I thought it was funny, then I thought it was awesome, like in the true sense of the word, then I got sad about it, now I think they're mesmerizing.
It could have been a much worse band.

On the one hand, go indie rock, on the other hand... "Them?"
Yeeeah, but... if not them, then who (at that level)?
Well, there aren't too many indie bands at "that level" so it's kind of deserved in that regard. LCD?
I literally said to my tv "that'd be dope if arcade won, but no way against gaga and katy perry" .....
"and the winner is... the suburbs, arcade fire"
......."HOLY SHIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT"
This tumblr is filled with new fans..

Thank god the grammys saved indie music. It's just the validation the genre was looking for.
