just got a concert email update w/ this tidbit re: Mumford & Sons-- let the hatred ensue

Traveling exclusively in vintage railcars, the three bands will journey across the American Southwest over the course of a week. The aptly titled Railroad Revival Tour will feature the three bands playing concerts at six unique outdoor locations along the route.

the website is just bafflingly stupid as well

shurely they should do this by jumping on and off of passing boxcars? posers

From M&S HQ... Here we are then: another waffle, another dollar. Making stacks on the corner of the blogosphere (done a little sick-up in my mouth just now) dealing Class-A blogs, an' dodging dem Po-Po. Well, not really dodging; the common man he say... Read more

Mumford And Sons Vs Dumpy's Rusty Nuts

Good Luck USA

at least we still have dumpy's rusty nuts NV while they get mumford.

God Bless The Goddamned Onion AV Club:

Last fall, The A.V. Club’s own Steven Hyden memorably described English folkees Mumford & Sons as “hokey cornpone-ographers,” a descriptor the band will take to its logical conclusion by embarking on a six-stop tour of the American Southwest on a fucking train. Said train will be composed of vintage railcars from the mid-20th century and also carry the members of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show, because of course it will. The bands will make their home along the rails for these dates in late April, living like the majestic hobos of old as they eat, sleep, and record within the confines of the train’s 1,500 feet. (Whether the musicians will adopt ludicrous hobo names and/or claim to be Woody Guthrie at any point during the trip remains to be seen, of course.) It may seem like the unnecessary fetishizing of a not-too-fondly remembered period in American history (Great Depression-induced poverty is super-fun!), but think of it this way: With per-gallon gas prices threatening to stay at more than $3 for the foreseeable future, the past of railroad-bound vagrancy may be the future of rock ’n’ roll touring. After winding its way through California and Arizona, the tour will stop in Austin on April 26, at the intersection of 4th and Waller Streets. Tickets for all dates go on sale Wednesday, March 9 at 11 a.m. CST; credit card, buttons, magical beans, sniped cigarettes, bartered services, and train-yard punks are all acceptable means of payment.

In "defense" of this bullshit it should be pointed out that their American fans may recognize the band as "hokey cornpone-ographers" and dig it anyway or even because of that.

god that is the best write-up ever, give that guy a medal

hahahahahahahah a ticket costs $55 bucks

or for 150 you get a poster too

my wife would want to see this in Austin but then i'd probably have to go too. should i tell her they are coming to town, y/n?

old crow medicine show actually makes me want to kill

anyone got ilxors wifes email so we can tell her?

hahaha :(

old crow medicine show actually makes me want to kill

yes, okay, but: are they worse than mumford?

eh possibly, they have terrible nasal voices and their lyrics are full of insipid faux-americana signifiers.

She and Marcus, 24, are currently enjoying a romantic weekend together in Buckinghamshire after spending last week in the Orkney Islands.

The glamour. I wonder if they go around building barrels or something.

Looks like the unholy afterbirth of Matt Le Blanc and Chaz Bono

^^also lolz

Read the last line as

Mumford was previously attached to Shia LaBeouf

which would've been something.

thinking a mumford is a catch kinda diminishes u in the being super-attractive stakes imo

yeah wtf carey? first shia now this guy?

jesus i've just realised the Mumford looks like Stephen Ward

Sadly not Stephen Ward of Profumo affair fame.

I'm not a Mumford stan, my wife likes them a lot.

And I get that the CD is dead or whatever but it's LAME that I can't get the new Mumford album in CD form via amazon as a birthday gift for my wife. Just felt like a slap in the face - and I say that as somebody who's grown accustomed to iTunes. It's just nice to be able to get a CD sometimes, you know?

Admittedly that complaint maybe belonged on another thread

I definitely see this in stores all the fucking time, so I know the CD copies exist.

Where are you located? This comes up for me immediately.

that's the 1st album, they've shat out another one since

Wiki says thats just a deluxe reissue of the first, which is also coming up on amazon for me.
