Mumford and Sons

Mumford and Sons is quickly becoming a new favorite among my crew. As SHB said, "I'm slightly obsessed."

The other day while out for a jog (ok, it was mostly power walking since it was so freaking hot) I started thinking about how wonderful it would be to be Mumford and Sons' personal assistant.

For those of you who know me well you know this is not the first time I've dreamed of becoming a celebrity's personal assistant...obviously my first choice would be Robert Pattinson, but I'd be happy to move up the ranks working for the other Twilight stars until the chance arose. Of course I'm sure that Rob would quickly fall madly in love with me...but that is neither here nor there.

Anyways...I figured I had better do a little research on Mumford and Sons before I apply and here's what I found out:

1. As seen in the pic above, Mumford and Sons is know for their musical abilities and not their good looks...I was kind of hoping for at least one looker...Kings of Leon has several (far left and far right).



2. I went to Mumford and Sons' website where I discovered that they tour with/are BFFs with one of RPatz' friends Johnny Flynn (more to come on that in a second). I was hoping to score a sweet Mumford and Sons t-shirt seeing as most of my t-shirts are sorority t's from 2001 - 2005 and are in pretty bad shape...but their online store says coming soon. Anyways...I did find out that Mumford and Sons are hilar. Go here to see their blog:

There are great/funny recaps of what they've been up to...plus one band member is a cook and posts recipes, one has a book club/reading list, and one is the photographer of the group and posts pictures.

3. Ok so like I said, Mumford and Sons are friends with Johnny Flynn. They are also friends with Laura Marling and she is pretty great too. They had a post on their website about Johnny Flynn's new cd and a link to it in iTunes so you could buy it...I had several songs from his first cd so I figured I'd check it out...when I got to the page it said it wasn't available on the US store but it asked if I wanted to switch to the UK version of iTunes, so I did so that I could listent to the new songs...I got really excited because I started thinking that there might be some other Mumford songs/cds that were produced by small UK labels and might not be available on the US version of iTunes...but once again that was a fail.

4. If I can't get hired as their personal assistant I would at least like to see them in concert...you can do your part to help me out by going to their website and telling them to come to Atlanta...its a win, win...I mean for me its a win, win (couldn't resist sneaking in a Glee quote).
