Congratulations to Arcade Fire, who brought home the Album of the Year award for “The Suburbs” at last night’s Grammy Awards. They beat out favorites Eminem and Lady Antebellum to win the biggest prize in mainstream music. Arcade Fire is signed to Merge Records, an independent record label that is the topic of Our Noise, The Story of Merge Records. To celebrate, we’re giving away 3 copies of Our Noise. Leave a comment (here on the blog or on our Facebook page) to enter.
If you aren’t familiar with The Suburbs, I highly recommend buying yourself a copy. (You can get it here, directly from the Merge store.)
Watch them perform “Ready to Start” (which was nominated for the best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals) at the Grammy Awards below.

And the Grammys have one more deserved win… that makes two! Their album told a story, had a theme, was strong top to bottom. They got rewarded for creating a cohesive piece of art and entertainment, instead of a hodgepodge of singles.
