    Shocked that Babel won album of the year. I honestly didnt even think it deserved to be nominated.
    There were a lot better albums released that deserved to have that spot.
    It was an ok album, not nearly as good as "Sigh No More"


    I agree. "Babel" isn't as great. It turned on a bunch of new fans, and sold more copies. "Sigh No More" is my favorite! It knocked my socks completely off. :lol: They are still finding their way....

    Winnie should win a nickname prize. Poor Guy.

    However, congrats on your Grammy guys!

    Don't mention Mumford and Sons around Dimitri. They don't get along apparently. :nono:
    Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.

    Thanks. I thought it was odd Marcus would say that. The rest of them don't really talk, they just smile or look like they feel awkward.

    I am still pissed that PJ acted that way. A grammy is a really great honor. One Guy spends every single day of the year making Grammy trophies. Each one is hand made. I wouldn't let it collect dust or use it as a door stop. That is insulting. I doubt he will make any more Grammy trophies for Ed or Stone. It's a work of art "Sculpture Art", given to another artist. Why is there such little respect?

    The gold-plated trophies, each depicting a gilded gramophone, are made and assembled by hand by Billings Artworks in Ridgway, Colorado. If this guy quits because he is not appreciated, I wouldn't blame him.

    Well he needs to stay off this thread, and I guess It's good we Have never met.

    The only communication I've had with him are disagreements, I'm not surprised.

    He's Greek but living in Canada? He should be worried with himself. I'm confused.

    I love Broken Crown. I think some people base their opinion about a band sadly on the radio hits. Probably why some people think Pearl Jam is defined by Jeremy and Daughter (which are my two least favorite songs). Mumford and Sons are the real deal and will be around for awhile.

    Having seen them live, I can honestly say your obsession will skyrocket :lol::lol:
    If you haven't done so, I HIGHLY recommend the Daytrotter sessions ep...some awesome covers done on their bus and in a gym that will blow your mind. Their Live at RedRocks DVD is magnificent as well.

    They had a link on the fan forum on their web from the musicares w/ "I'm on Fire" cover...omg it was amazing.
    I went to the Hollywood Bowl show with the Mrs, who was not a fan prior, and now its "when are they touring again, when's our next show? God they were awesome" :D Very excited for them last night to get record of the year. Its the one record I continually played, moreso then Jack Whites (which I love) and Frank Oceans (which is great).

    I cannot wait to see them live again, the vibe at their show and the energy reminds me of a band we all love and adore ;) I just hope they have the same longevity...

    Keep on rockin on Mamasan, can't wait to read your review when you finally see them - they'll floor you for sure!

    Awesome, thanks for the suggestions!!! I'll check those out for sure. Damn to see them at Red Rocks...I could probably die after that! I have a feeling I'm going to follow them around like I did for PJ circa 2000/2003!

    You have Dimitri mixed up with demetrios.

    Dimi is from Greece, posts like a freak.

    demetrios is from Canada.

    LOS ANGELES—After weeks of speculation within the music industry, English folk-rock group Mumford and Sons took home the big prize at Sunday’s 55th Annual Grammy Awards by winning the highly coveted Vest of the Year trophy. “Wow, I don’t even know where to begin,” said lead singer Marcus Mumford, after his slim-cut russet waistcoat secured the band its third win on a night in which the quartet also collected statuettes for Watch Chain of the Year and Best New Straw Hat. “We never could have imagined it. I mean, just to have our vest nominated alongside all these other amazing vests—it’s really a dream come true.” Following Mumford and Sons’ victory in the vest category, the band narrowly missed sweeping the Grammys’ four major apparel awards after losing out to indie pop trio fun. for its upbeat, critically acclaimed suspenders

    You MUST check out To Darkness (feat. Mumford & Sons, The Dharohar Project, Laura Marling) from the Dharohar Project EP- awesome stuff..., especially if you love Broken Crown ;) Recorded in Delhi, India, with fellow touring partner Laura Marling and a nine-member collective of Rajasthani musicians called the Dharohar Project...

    I'm kind of losing interest in this band to be honest. Was rather underwhelmed with the new album, too many banjo riffs that sounded the same. I can't help but wonder how they'll continue to create new albums without them all starting to sound the same... :?

    I was underwhelmed too. I like it, and I know it would have been difficult for it to "wow" me like the first one, but I am concerned that they will just keep repeating the same thing. I hope not.

    Excellent, I hope the hype goes away so I can see them at small venues again... Thank god for Babel, because Pearl Jam isn't putting out JACK SHIT!
