If this band...

doesn't simultaneosly make you jizz your pants and cry, then I don't know what will.

And honestly, I don't think I want to know what will.

Gross.



Anywho, my new obession is a little quartet of scruffy West Londoners who answer to the name "Mumford & Sons." If you've heard of them, good- we can still be friends. If not...well, lets just say, don't expect a Christmas card this year. The four friends are most known for their live performances; they made themselves known by scratching down a few ditties, jumping on a stage, and awwing the crowd (not hard if its full of girls). Now, their first ever real cd, Sigh No More, is taking iTunes and my car by storm; a certain ginger roommate and I can play a mean air guitar to "Little Lion Man."



One may ask: "O wise woman of the rock (that would be me), what is it about this band that cause you to speak so passionately about them?"


And then I would look at you really weird, cause what type of nickname is "wise woman of the rock?"


Yet after ripping you apart with my sarcasm, I would reply,"Why, ya creeper, that's easy: not only do they have an original sound, but their lyrics are deep and relatable, AND if you squint your eyes and look at an artsy photo of the band (not a close up, dear lord), they aren't half bad looking."


See what I'm saying?


Plus the lead singer's voice makes me jizz my pants.





What? It has the same effect on Healy. Don't look at me like that.


So go check 'em out. Though "Little Lion Man" is their most well-known and played single, I'm personally obsessed with "The Cave" and "Awake My Soul," though my all-time favorite is "White Blank Page."


Imagine me and Heals strumming our air guitars, eyes screwed up, cruising around in my car. If that doesn't get you to check them out, then you just aren't picturing the image very hard.
