Holiday music fun

Thank you, thank you to Nathan for pointing out some new Mumford and Sons on youtube. Love, love, love it. Well, I haven’t really let the songs soak in yet, but so far I am particularly liking the first (Lover’s Eyes, with banjo and double bass – I’ve posted this one in below) and fourth songs (Below my Feet) he’s posted (am finding the second one a bit noisy). That’s what I call singing with verve. When I was down in Melbourne last year my niece inflicted me with listening to Justin Bieber, so then I put on Mumford and said “listen to this Lucy, this is a man singing” and I heard my brother-in-law burst out laughing in the kitchen (this was all in good fun – Lucy likes a good tease). I don't mind a bit of impassioned arrghhing (though prefer it in the fourth song). I liked it first on the end of When Your Mind's Made Up by Glen Hansard.

Anyway, was really good to meet Nathan and Robyn last Sunday in the flesh, as Nathan mentions here. Meeting people you know from cyber space in real life can be a sort of social experiment, because a couple of people I’ve met have been stunningly different to my expectations, but I found no such discordance with Nathan. What you read is what you get.
