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.

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.

Read the last line as
Mumford was previously attached to Shia LaBeouf
which would've been something.

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
― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 11:59 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 13:48 (twelve years ago) link
that's the 1st album, they've shat out another one since
― FPocalypto! (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 13:52 (twelve years ago) link
Wiki says thats just a deluxe reissue of the first, which is also coming up on amazon for me.
― stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 13:53 (twelve years ago) link

I like the convenience of shopping online. Will probably pick it up at Best buy or something, but it's the principle of the thing; it's not like this is a Haters album or something
― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 13:54 (twelve years ago) link
Raymond, where are you? Like I said, both versions of the CD are coming up on Amazon for me as available.
― stan this sick bunt (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 13:54 (twelve years ago) link
Austin.
That's bizarre. Last night when I was searching the album on Amazon only the mp3 version would come up
― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 13:58 (twelve years ago) link
there is apparently a live album which is only available as a download, maybe that's where the confusion stems from?
