Quote of the Day

.
Pitchfork chatted with Win Butler of Arcade Fire a little bit about the upcoming film version of their Grammy-winning album The Suburbs, called Scenes From the Suburbs, directed by Spike Jonze, and about that Grammy win:

Pitchfork: Some people are saying that Grammy moment could mark a turning point in music culture. As someone who's actually in the band, do you even think about stuff like that?

Win Butler: Sometimes. I basically think of everything in terms of Radiohead, and I do remember when Radiohead's OK Computer lost Album of the Year to Bob Dylan. So I think it's a meaningful for people who are into music right now-- I would be excited if a band I liked won a Grammy. We'll see if people remember it half a generation from now.

I think that the sentence "I basically think of everything in terms of Radiohead" might be the finest bit of advice ever given, in words.
