Canadian indie rock band Broken Social Scene recently performed their rendition of Modest Mouse’s hit 2004 song “The World at Large.” They did it in conjunction with The Voice Project, which is a non-profit that raises money for women in war-ravaged Northern Uganda. The Voice Project works by getting artists to cover other artists songs and continuing one long chain of covers. The artists thus spread the word about the non-profit and advertisers, sponsors, and individuals donate on their site.

Here’s to hoping the rest of the record trumps this.

Canadian indie-rock band Arcade Fire won big at the Grammys last night, receiving the award for Album of the Year, beating out favorites Lady GaGa and Eminem. The famously large group first performed “Month of May” followed by “Ready to Start,” both of which are off of The Suburbs.
“Ready to Start” is my favorite song on the album, and this performance definitely doesn’t let me down.
