Mumford and Son... first band for a while to make me go 'WOW!'.

[timeforanother]

There is a new Pixies single though...

Not surprised.

Shouldn't that "alt-right favourite" Mumford and Sons photobomb Jordan Peterson?

That is one *hell* of a bump!

 

[SpookyFrank]

OMG Sass started a whole thread to talk about how Mumford and Sons were the best thing he'd heard since Glen Miller, that's adorable.

Tragic, but adorable.

Just heard Peterson interviewed on the World Service. First time I've heard him. He didn't seem as alt right as I'd been led to expect. More old school conservative. Although it was hard to tell because every answer he gave began with "no, I've never said that" or "no, that's not what I think". So either the interviewer was rubbish (highly likely), or that's just his strategy. They both seemed like pricks to be fair.

Denying half the stuff you've ever said or done, regardless of documentary evidence, is pretty standard alt-right stuff.

To be fair I've no idea if he had said those things, nor will I ever find out.

I fucking hate mumford and sons.

This is the most shameless bit of like-farming I've seen in a while.

People do like to claim he said things he didn't, though I did see one case where he downgraded a "belief" to a "suspicion", with a decent time lag between the two tbf.

I think both right and left have fully embraced the post-truth climate, and it's fine nowadays to lie if it helps your agenda or impresses your mates. Peterson has been adopted by some of the right for some of the things he has said, but on balance he's probably to the left of pretty much the whole of the UK Tories and the US Democrats (on socialised healthcare, wealth redistribution, drug decriminalisation, for example).

I know and I'm deeply annoyed that I've only managed to muster a mere 6 likes.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

Surely George Ezra is the son of 'Mumford & Sons', popular with youngsters I believe. No idea where that weird accent comes from.

 

[mauvais]

Doing some numbers on Twitter at the minute cos one of the banjo twats went off praising Andy Ngo, fash celebrity.

 

[maomao]

And their music is still worse than their politics.

 

[ddraig]

Oh sas a fan you say

 

[Badgers]

They are a blocked sewer of a band. Both in musical abilities and opinions.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Have a 'sympathy' like.

It’s the purest form of what I think of as “private school music”. Seems a bit unfair as I can kind of imagine one or two members of Mumford & Sons working in a garage. Both before and after the band, judging by the hold the rich lad is likely to have on writing credits.

The Andy Ngo fan above is the son of Sir Paul Marshall who owns a hedge fund, co-edited The Orange Book and is worth approximately 630 million quid. He's probably never even been in a garage because he has a butler to bring the car out to the drive for him.

 

[hitmouse]

Starting a thread about the greatness of Mumford and Sons is one of the highest-quality trolls I've seen in a while, respect. If they did like a BAFTA or Brit award for trolling, this thread would have been a solid competitor.

"Read this book" has to be the absolute laziest endorsement it is possible to provide.

It could also be a selective quote: “ [ I ] read this book [and it was shit]”
Fucker Carlson though...

Soon: Tommy Robinson plays guest bongos on the next Vampire Weekend single.

Hah, deleted.

Best thing since Ed Sheeran turned out to be a landlord.
