    the idea of selling out seems so silly to me

    like, the entire goal of a band is to sell out! That is your aim!

    Nah.

    the subtle difference between selling out and commercial success

    and the immediate accusations of the former when one achieves the latter

    To be fair for many, many people "Becoming Popular" is synonymous with "Selling Out".

    But some people just want to make music, man.

    This is the thing. If someone becomes popular or successful, they are decried by a certain subset of people. Those people are retarded.

    Sure, but that's not the entire notion of selling out, nor is the entire goal of a band to gain popularity or success.

    And I hate to say it, but I actually enjoyed the Grammys last night.

    If only for 3 reasons:

    Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" performance
    Cee Lo Green's performance of "Forget You" while wearing a bird costume, while Gwyneth Paltrow was singing backup and muppets were dancing and playing in the background
    And the fact that Justin Bieber lost 2 awards to people the mainstream music fans know nothing about (even I had to Google Esperanza Spalding, though I love Arcade Fire)

    there are some people out there who apparently can not hear of new bands unless the bands are constantly being shoved at them through the top 40 machine

    that's the only explanation I can think of

    The other odd thing is the assumption that an "unknown" band is somehow less deserving than a popular one. Quality and popularity do not necessarily go hand in hand!

    I think it's pretty funny that people who don't even look for new music are getting all pissy about this. Also that this is far from their best CD. As in I feel it's the worst out of their three.
