Arcade Fire To Perform At The Grammys

If there is one thing good I can say about the Grammys, it’s the performances.  Year after year, there is at least one good performance worth youtubing after the broadcast (Elton John & Eminem in 2001, Madonna and Gorillaz in 2006, Gnarls Barkley in 2007, Radiohead in 2009…to name a few) and this year is no different.

Arcade Fire will be performing February 13th and hopefully bringing home the three awards they’re nominated for, especially Album of the Year, but it’s the Grammys…so you know the rubbish Katy Perry passes off as music will probably win.

As a little bonus, here’s my favorite performance from the last 10 years:
