The Arcade Fire and Google have teamed up to provide a look into the new ago of music videos. The band and the internet giant have combined the theme of the band’s new album “The Suburbs” with the extensive database that Google has compiled in Google Maps/Street view. The music video for the song “We Used to Wait”, which is ran exclusively online, asks for the viewers address and plays a custom show that involves actors, birds, post cards and trees showing up in the viewers neighborhood, via the images available through Google. The whole thing works through a series of pop up windows with different actions occurring at the same time. The video is built for, and runs best on, Chrome (Google’s own web browser). If you want to experience this song and amazing video to its full potential I suggest downloading Chrome just for this reason. Please check it out here!! The Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs album is nominated for the best of its class in tonight’s Grammys. It is up against Eminem’s Recovery, Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster, and Kate Perry’s Teenage Dream… Ok, first of all I think the Grammys is the worst awards show out there, as they always seem way behind the times in what is actually happening in music, but it looks like tonight they have a chance to give the award of Best Album to a deserving candidate. Then again, if any album other than The Suburbs wins tonight, the Grammys will live up to my expectations and I can continue to discredit anything they do. I hope the Arcade Fire win tonight, but if they don’t it is not the end of the world. Just listen to all the albums nominated and see which one you can actually get all the way though without being in bar (The Fame Monster and Teenage Dream) and I think that will speak to which album was actually the best album made throughout the whole music industry this year. Note: I have never heard of Lady Antebellum, but I just Googled them and I think they are a country band… I will leave it at that. Another Note: The Suburbs was by far my favorite album of the year so my opinion may be heavily skewed.
