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."

Can imagine Smith buying tix to do this every year.
If he wanted to do it every year, he'd have my full blessing.

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.

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

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

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.

the funniest thing about this story is that literally nobody who goes to the Clermont Lounge wants to see the Mumford & Sons singer doing karaoke
