So yeah, rub my head, visit my wall, have a small replica of my foot made and carry it with you, Whatever you think brings you luck, do it as I'm on the roll of my life at the moment!
Wednesday, Radiohead - managed to catch last train home as opposed to 10,000 others, Thursday - permanent job offer, Friday - degree results, Saturday - no luck BUT.. Sunday - won free tickets to Hadouken! supported by Does It Offend You, Yeah? and found my oyster card and my travel pass! Happy days! So yeah, if anyone wants me to perform some sort of miracle for you, now would be the time to ask.
And now for a shock introduction, some new music. Luckily its only a short introduction as very little is known about them.
They are called Mumford and Sons and hail from far away London. They play a mixture of folk and blue-grass, with influences as obvious as Willy Mason whilst drawing from Paul Simon's perfectly formed Graceland album to demonstrate variety. My first experience of the band was the standout track White Blank Page, a song with layer upon layer of country harmony whilst Marcus Mumford is questioning the devotion in relationships and how blame is often laid where it is not due. The entire song is perfectly constructed with subtle instrumentation and gorgeous lo-fi production.
There are only three members and the band have only been together since December 2007 so there is plenty left in the tank. Again, I've stolen these links from other blogs so as not to get in trouble but I thoroughly recommend preordering their EP which is due out on 7th july. Its available here :
