Mumford and Sons

I couldn't pinpoint what annoyed-the-hell-outta-me about this band, until it dawned on me:

They're the new Dave Matthews Band. So vanilla, it makes me want to smack myself.

All makes sense now.

Very disappointed to see Marcello Carlin so envious of Mumford and Son's success. How many albums have you sold? etc etc.

I've sold 20 million, back when that meant something.

How many have you sold!?!?!

marcello sold 50k out the fuckin' trunk back in the day

Well, to give some information before I begin, I listen to music while I sleep, and sometimes the songs come into my dreams. Ok, so, I was in a white tiled subway station filled with people and I was sitting next to an Middle Eastern girl about my age. Well she and I begin to talk and become friends. She tells me then that she needs help in finding a translator for her mom who only speaks Indian (or whatever they speak...). So she and I go on a quest. We're walking through the station asking tons of people when I see an old friend from my old middle school. He's walking quickly through the station with his younger brother trying to keep up. Well, I yell at him "Joel! Trying to leave your brother behind?!" And he's about to reply when I hear something.. the soft strum of a guitar. I swivel around and me and my friend see Marcus Mumford standing there looking QUITE attractive. He's wearing his usual black waist coat and I hurriedly pull my friend over to where he's standing against the wall. He's has his guitar case set up at his feet and he's beginning to sing Little Lion Man. This is the cool part! The song had obviously come on my Iphone and was playing because the song wasn't just Marcus even though he was the only one in the dream. It was the full instrumentation and harmonies! Well, he finishes and wipes the sweat off of his forehead with that adorable smile he has on his face. I walk up to him and ecstatically explain how much I love the band and everything. We get to talking and me, Marcus, and the girl (my friend) sit down against the wall. He's sitting looking on his laptop and we're talking and he's telling me all these amazing stories when the girl suddenly breaks in and asks him if he can translate for her mom. Marcus says that he sadly can't but then he cutely exclaims, "Oh my word!" (like in the Gentleman of the Road documentary when they find out about Robert Platt liking their music) Then, motioning to me he goes, "You're American! I'm British!" And motioning to the girl, "and you're Indian!" "Neat!" It was so weird! I've had other dreams about them where I meet them all or see them live, but this one is the most bizarre I've ever had!

Wait where's the bit about you being the drummer for Gay Dad

"It's a snuff film, see."

"Hey, great idea."

"Yes. Yes it is."

Mr. Agreeable ponders things.

Even Mumford & Cunts' schtick is fresher and less hackneyed than Mr Agreeable.

Cometh the hour, cometh the critic.

Was Mr. Agreeable funny prior to 1997? Otherwise I wouldn't know.

i don't understand why swearing is supposed to be funny

Mumford & Cunts

Pooford & Harlots

Cuntford & Mums

i'm not laughing

no that's 'the point'

what is the point?

Bumford and Cums

Snotford and Poos

it's fun!

Snow & Patrols

85 posts of this would still not be as bad as that quietus article

Scumford and Crumbs

not swearing but just as fun

I laughed at the nostalgia-for-rickets thing, but this was Mr. Agreeable by the numbers.

Probably about as funny as the Savage Pencil strip in the Wire.

Nothing like the funnies section in the music press eh what

and this is nothing like the funnies section in the music press...

Is it possible to rectally insert a mandolin? Because I think in the name of science these tosswits should try.

Mumford added that the coincidence was at least an improvement over last year’s exchange, when each of the four musicians went home with three copies of the band’s debut EP, Love Your Ground.

Oh, those wacky funsters...
Next Christmas, each of them goes home with three fossilised turds. Or in other words, their bandmates.

Have we got a thread about post-Mumford shitbags the Lumineers?

Oh, those wacky funsters...

I know, it's literally unbelievable

The Lumineers walk that line with an unerring gift for timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics

I made it 30 seconds into 'Ho Hey' (unfortunately not a Ramones styled Christmas song) before shouting "wankers!" and closing the window.

xp they're K-RRRRRRRRRaaaaaaaaaaaZZZZZZZZZZZZZZYYY guys!!!

BAN THIS SICK FILTH

This news is actively ruining my day.

gross

Couldn't they have asked, I dunno, anybody from his band, or somebody who actually knew the damn guy? It's not like he died 40 years ago and this is the only band that has a mandolin player.

Mumford and Garth Hudsons

they are trying really hard to push this type of music on boomers aren't they? idgi.

id imagine from the sales figures that olds are buying plenty of this crap already

it makes sense, doesn't it? appeals to the whole "that's not real music this is real music" crowd.

I did once think the few seconds of "I Will Wait" I heard as muzak was Bad Company, but only for a moment.
