Mumford and Sons

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.

ffffuuuuuuuuu

it would be nice to pin mumfords/lumineers et al on the olds but evidence points to the kids

That's it. I am prepared to offer a bounty.

. Banjo player Winston Marshall made sure to note that Mumford & Sons’ third album will take longer to produce, “a few more years than it took to make Babel.”

Take your time lads, no need to rush these things

I've never knowingly heard Mumford & Sons.

At some point in future years this will be the new 'drummer for Gay Dad' closing tag.

A tape of Mumford and Sons' 'backstage rapping' surfaces online. Do you listen to it Y/N? Please show your working.

Isn't this that band that helped break HAIM?

Sandie Shaw: 'Up yours, you posh bastards'

Ah, that eighties dole culture without which Madchester and Britpop wouldn't have happened. Says a lot about now that I start feeling nostalgic about the Enterprise Allowance Scheme.

every time I'm at a bar and a song comes on that I don't know but really wind up hating halfway through I'm kind of stunned to find out that it's always Mumford & Sons. what the

Troll of the gods.

what a dick

The idea of Mumford & Sons "rolling into town" and leaving a path of destruction in their wake is one that I find so beyond hilarious it practically redefines "hilarious" :D

for those that don't follow The Fall thread:

The Fall's Mark E Smith was apparently involved in an altercation with dire banjo wielding troupe Mumford & Sons at an Irish festival earlier this year. In an interview with the Australian magazine Brag Smith complained that The Fall's increasing popularity at festivals means they're forced to meet new bands who are often "ass lickers". Even worse, some of them are Mumford & Sons.

"We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week. There was this other group like, warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible. I said 'shut them cunts up' and they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them. The bands said 'that's the Sons of Mumford' or something, 'they're number five in charts!' I just thought they were a load of retarded Irish folk singers."

Wait, he did it again?

Yeah, I thought this was old news?

It's an annual thing.

Can imagine Smith buying tix to do this every year.

If he wanted to do it every year, he'd have my full blessing.

sorry it was an old article.

Can never have too much of that particular story, it is a thing of beauty.
