Mumford and Sons

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.

Matt DC otm.

It's like the story of James McNew buying a friend (or vice versa) front row Beach Boys tickets in the early '90s just to boo Mike Love.

Be great if Mike Love did the reverse

"Bring it on."

Listen, having Mike Love glaring at you from the front row, that's got to be tough

Don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but evidently John C. Reilly is in Mumford-mode these days.

Acting!

you see all these guys dressed as mumford and sons

More good news for ILM's favourite band

Lol?

the video exists so that I can forget how shitty the song/band/aesthetic is

Yeah I had fun with it

but I still have to hear the song so

Not required

i dislike the band, but think this is great, and shrewd.

If this appeared as an SNL spoof I'd think it was great. I hate them without reservation but this is very smart.

The song was too awful to endure enough of the video to see the joke.

Mute!

Some Crayon Pop realness at 3:40

I didn't realize it wasn't the actual band until the Office dude at the piano started mugging and I still don't know who the other guys are

One of them is Jason Bateman, I don't know who the other guys are and I hate that I even clicked on that to find out, even with the sound muted.

Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, Ed Helms

I enjoyed watching this, completely oblivious to it being genuine Mumfords song, thinking "they've really nailed that shitty sound"

Anonymous “strip club sources” say things went awry for the British folk pop act when — after performing hours earlier at Centennial Park – singer Ben Lovett took to the lounge’s karaoke stage and began singing the songs he should be tired of already.

His bandmates whipped out their cellphones and began shooting video, which is pretty much a no-no in any strip club I have woken up in.

The mood really turned sour when the DJ turned down the music and told everyone to put their phones away. This allegedly “ruined” Lovett’s performance and the band began cussing out the strip club staff.

lol

I guess they're no longer good Christian boys or whatever

taking cell phone video of yr buddy pushing strippers off a stage so he can sing yr band's shitty songs sounds pretty 2010s Christian to me

Hahah

I mean, I was expecting at least one mention of someone attempting to spice up a lap dance with a banjo, this is all kind of anticlimactic
