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

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

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

I was bemused when sorting out some vinyl to DJ with last week to discover I had an unplayed 10" of their second EP. I was then delighted to discover it sells for £120-£180.

Never been anything but offended since I first heard them.
May the hiatus be forever indefinite.
― Austin, Sunday, 22 September 2013 04:52 (ten years ago) link
What will come first:
1) Mumford solo album that may or may not be moody and/or weird2) New band fronted by Mumford that sort of sounds like a rockier version of Mumford & Sons3) New rock-leaning band featuring the other three guys and a drummer4) New band including the other three guys and a girl singer and/or drummer that sticks to the folkish mode.5) Mostly instrumental soundtrack project featuring one or more of these dudes.

Knowing what obnoxious whores they are, at least three of those will happen in the next year to eighteen months.

"Hiatus" usually means a post-tour break followed by another album in two or three years, ie pretty standard for a band of this size. I'm sure Coldplay have said something similar between albums. More chance of a forgettable solo record here though.
― Deafening silence (DL), Monday, 23 September 2013 09:28 (ten years ago) link
"Indefinite hiatus" seems a little more forceful. Here's a Coldplay-style clarification:
"It happens to us every album. I say on stage, ‘I’ll see you in a bit’, then we always bring out another album and look silly because everyone’s like, ‘I thought you retired?'," Chris told The Sun."The album is definitely coming, unless the rest of the band decide to pursue their modelling careers of course – goodness knows mine is over."Martin also told the Daily Star that he "fired up" about their future. "I've been writing songs and I'm so fired up about the band's future.""I'm fortunate to do what I do and no way do I want to stop. This three-year break idea only came about because I said at a gig in Australia that we might not be back there for three years.""That's probably true, but that's just how a world tour works. No chance are we taking a three-year break."

Be funny if these bands all had like a google calendar thing to synchronize the end of their respective breaks. Until a killjoy like Bowie crashes the party. I'm sure Suede logged on to google that and was all "that fucker, we've had this Tuesday booked for two years straight!"
I imagine a Lumineers and Monsters and Men break is probably already on the books, so Mumford had to take a break now to get the return timing right.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 23 September 2013 13:49 (ten years ago) link
xp I think that at the end of long tours people are so frazzled that they're prone to dramatic statements but it's win-win for me: either I'm right and they'll be back in 2015 anyway or I'm wrong and I get to avoid this dreadful band for even longer.

so glad these guys won't be touring for a while, as a non-fan I was getting pretty sick of attending their concerts

The other week they played a show in my living room and I was, like, get the fuck out of here, I don't like you and my kids are trying to sleep.
Jeez, the nerve of this band.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 23 September 2013 15:59 (ten years ago) link
So when these doofuses said they were going on hiatus for a long time, I guess they meant a year and some change. Like, you know, most bands do.

My dad wants the new Mumford and Sons album for Christmas, and I know he won't like it because he's thinking of their debut, what should I get him instead? What is the good Mumford and Sons? Band of Horses? I am way off my patch here. He doesn't want any Popol Vuh or Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.

thanks MaresNest! I'll try those.
I think he already has the Country Bear Jamboree album.

oops... and niels, I got him the Fleet Foxes for Christmas, what was it? wow ten years ago.
I'm weighing Greensky Bluegrass, Trampled by Turtles, Band of Horses, Of Monsters and Men, The Head and the Heart... the Lumineers keep coming up but they seem irritating.

― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Sunday, 25 November 2018 20:35 (five years ago) link
my biggest success was getting him a copy of Ocean Rain and him loving it so much he bought copies for relatives, who also loved it! But they hated every other album by the Bunnymen, so... tricky.
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Sunday, 25 November 2018 20:37 (five years ago) link

he does like Leonard Cohen, so I can always just snag him that $24 box set of all his albums save the last 2-3
