These guys.... they really make me smile. And while the lead singer was born 4 years after I graduated from High School, I can still dream, can't I? He's hot...
Yup. Happy. Sunshine. Puppies, unicorns and rainbows. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Heh. So...I had heard Mumford & Sons before, just hadn't paid attention to their lyrics - I knew they sounded a bit like DMB, kind of mellow & acoustic & stuff. One day in class (I teach 8th grade) I decided to play them on grooveshark on my interactive white board whilst the students were working on homework. Y'know - be the cool, hip teacher and all. I was busy working at my desk, not really paying attention. I heard the kids laughing, but I thought it was because they didn't like the music. Then. Then I heard the freaking CHORUS & PAID ATTENTION!! Oh. My. Gosh. I almost broke my leg running to turn the volume down. Keep in mind - they had already heard it over and over and over again - and you know that chorus just sounds...right...it fits & just makes sense, y'know? I was almost in tears ('cause I'm sure they'd NEVER heard the f-bomb before). I lived in fear for a week of a parent phone call. Never happened. All this to say - I love this band, too.

Looks like a winner to me!
Mumford and Sons got me thru this past winter. I kid you not.
