Arcade Fire won album of the year at the Grammys!
Here is a tumblr dedicated to tweets, facebook statuses and the like from people who have no idea who Arcade Fire is (and who are mighty upset that Eminem, Gaga, or Bieber didn’t win) http://whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com/ Tis quite amusing. :)
Album #23: The Dusty Foot Philosopher - K’naan (Release Date: June 7, 2005)
Audio: Soobax
This album by Somali-Canadian K’naan really was a breath of fresh air. In many ways it may be the most political hip hop since Public Enemy, but it avoids (and openly denounces) gangsta posturing, sexism & materialism rampant in mainstream hip hop. Musically it is an irrestible fusion of Afropop & hip-hop. It contains a lyrical poetic flow which provides insightful social commentary on real world issues. A true work of genius.

VIEWS OF MONTREAL _ MY PEOPLE SLEEPING
“What’s been the most formative element of our music is that we’ve always practiced in apartments. Having to be quiet makes a huge difference in composition and how you deliver songs. It’s given us control and calm, in place of abandon.
Vincent Moon sensed that, and wanted some abandon from us, so he led us out into the street. Immediately we ran into our neighbours who didn’t think twice and came along. We all wandered into the café across the street, and ran into several more friends. We sang a song, everybody stopped eating to watch, and there was nothing strange about it at all—everybody knew all the words already. That’s why making music in Montreal is so easy, and perfect.”
