Arcade Fire Up For Grammys

Arcade Fire have been nominated for two Grammy awards. An award frequently rubbished in The Simpsons.

They have nabbed nominations for ‘Funeral’ as Best Alternative Music Album
(Vocal or Instrumental) and for ‘Cold Wind’ as Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media. Although that last one seems like a tacked on made up category. Cos with 108 categories including Best Album Notes, you really don’t want to miss one.

In the album category they are up against Beck, The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand and Death Cab For Cutie with their latest album Plans, which is currently in my CD player.

Chris Rock’s Never Scared is up for Best Comedy album and former Carry On star Jim Dale picks up a nomination with Best Spoken Word Album for Children.

Should you wish to wade through all the nominations you can.
