Arcade Fire Surprise Themselves, Win Album Of The Year Grammy

It seemed to be a toss-up between prior winners Lady Antebellum, Eminem or Lady Gaga, but Arcade Fire surprised Marshall Mathers and the Ladies - and even themselves - by winning Album Of The Year for The Suburbs at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night. Other winners included Black Keys, Neil Young (his first music Grammy) and Esperanza Spalding, who upset tweens everywhere by dashing Justin Bieber's Best New Artist hopes.
