I'm quite pleased that Lady Antebellum lost. To me, their kind of pop music is infinitely more suicide-inducing than Lady Gaga's or Katy Perry's. The fact that they lost to Arcade Fire is only icing on the cake.

I totally agree, it seemed like a bad choice. And what was up with the seizure lights and the stupid bicycle kids? Stupid Grammys. Just let Arcade Fire be Arcade Fire… their performances don't need gimmicks.

Month Of Meh
I'm glad they won because I think The Suburbs definitely deserved it, but I wished they had played something other than Month Of May. The title song or Sprawl #2, maybe. Both are way more interesting (and a more accurate sample of Arcade Fire's music as a whole) than Month Of May, at least in my opinion.

Yep.
I was given a Jingle Cats CD for Christmas one year.

I'd like to see a movie where the reverse happens; i.e., idiot male protagonist has hot girlfriend, sees hot girlfriend wearing glasses with her hair up, no longer finds girlfriend hot and dumps her ass, hijinks ensue.

So, what's worse for fair-haired young males with shaggy cuts?
Being mistaken for a hip lesbian, or Justin Bieber? Or are they one in the same…?

What about his thermos?

My prediction…
I bet that if Banksy ever *does* reveal himself, he'll just be some random British guy that nobody recognizes. The continued mystery is just performance art (and/or a marketing ploy) at this point, rather than a genuine need to cover-up his identity because he's "famous." Still, fun to speculate. Maybe…

Somethingsomething, Dark Forest, somethingsomething…meh, I don't remember enough about the books to make a solid reference. But RIP, Mr. Jacques.

It's only a matter of time before he starts his own religion.

Hey, anybody else remember that soap opera clip where the characters wander around LACMA and talk about Jeff Koons and Chris Burden? That was some pretty hilarious deconstruction.

Stop.
Just, stop.

@Overalls — True, I've only met him once, but I've talked to other fans who have met him on different occasions and their encounters sound very similar to my own.

Don't forget the anti-choice morality tale that inexplicably dominates the Ender's Shadow sequels. It's been a while since I read those, and I'd rather get my teeth pulled than revisit them, but my recollection is that [[SPOILER ALERT]]

I loved The Suburbs, personally. I can see why it received a mixed/negative reaction from some critics and fans, because the music is far more subtle and the album itself is more conceptual than Funeral or Neon Bible, but I think it will age well.

They're nice to fans, at least.
I met Win Butler after a show on the Neon Bible tour and he was very gracious and amicable. I'm not saying that precludes the possibility that he'd be a jerk to work with/for, but the man knows how to treat his fans.

Why?
NO REASON.

And if you gaze into the Franco…
…the Franco gazes also into you. Via Skype.

I think an instant fix for any Michael Cera movie would be to replace him with Jay Baruchel. Always thought those two were much more similar than Cera and Eisenberg, even if their appearances are more disparate (not that Cera and Eisenberg look that much alike anyway, IMO).

When I first saw this headline, I read it as "Star Wars plus Dog The Bounty Hunter"… I am simultaneously pleased and disappointed that I was wrong.
