Yup that's them. The last time I really really obsessively fell in love with a band was when I started listening to Snow Patrol. I have multiple levels of in-love-ness with bands/artists but Snow Patrol is on its own level, and to even consider having another band be on that level is pretty incredible--> that's how much I really like mumford & sons.
I first found them through random trails of myspace (they're the best ways to find music). I remember liking 'Little Lion Man' but not really following up with it b/c they're folky and i'm not initially into folk.
Then sitting in BU Central, with my headphones on but volume low, the music video for 'Little Lion Man' comes on and I literally stop what I'm doing and go 'hey i know this song, how do i know this song? this song is incredible.' i was very entranced and could not stop looking at the screen. That day and beyond I googled, youtubed, myspaced, etc. the sh** out of mumford & sons.
& marcus mumford is so attractive. tehe. (the one on the right)
but found out he's dating laura marling
(she actually kinda looks like anna faris in 'smiley face' here haha)Anywho, so for the past month and maybe half, I've been on a quest in search for tickets to see mumford & sons live. two shows in nyc=sold out. show in boston the same day I'm actually coming back to boston=sold out. the only show left? in philly. and graciously one of my great friends, becca, was willing to come with me to see them even though she knew not of them. she knew how desperately i wanted to see them even through a facebook message. (that's saying loads.)
craigslist was very unsuccessful for I wasn't willing to pay more than $25 for an originally $15 ticket, and although philly became a likely option, it wasn't quite favorable.
ALAS. wednesday, during a lecture (ha), at a low almost accepting the fact i was not going to see them, I saw the girl in front of me on craigslist. so I decided to go for it again, see if any new postings showed up.
i had upped my price to $50 b/c becca and i went through the costs and if we paid $50 for a nyc show, it'd be pretty much the same price for transportation + ticket +food if we went to philly. I saw a posting for $55/ticket and I decided to e-mail the person.
'LO AND BEHOLD. 44 minutes later I received a message back! HALLELUJAH. saying he would hold the tickets for me until wednesday (b/c he just left for a four day trip to dc) He has yet to reply to my meet when/where-ness but I WAS/AM SO PSYCHED.
although I am trying to hold it down (twss) b/c I do not have these tickets with me yet. BUT ZOMG. and now I must patiently wait (thankfully I have all this finals stuff to do to preoccupy me).
yeah, that's what's going on.
