MUMFORD & SONS!!
I know - you're thinking, "What is she talking about?" I'm afraid I can't deliver much with regard to last night's Academy Awards. I DVR'ed it and popped in here and there, but the show just didn't interest me at all. I'd seen 6 of the 10 Best Picture nominees so I should have cared. I couldn't connect with Anne Hathaway and James Franco - she's cute and perky but seemed to be trying too hard, and he didn't seem to be trying at all! I guess she was overcompensating for a co-host who looked stoned most of the time.
I know, I know - that's just him, right?
Anyway, I bring up Mumford & Sons because a Grammy performance paid off big time for the group from the U.K. They didn't win either award for which they were nominated, but sales for their nearly year-old album (Sigh No More) exploded after their February 13th appearance. They topped sales by Eminem, Lady Antebellum, Arcade Fire, and even Justin Bieber!
Mix 94.5 is now playing Mumford & Sons - "Little Lion Man." You can't miss the song because it's waaay different than anything else on the air! The band/song title don't sound familiar? You'll say, "Oh yeah!" as soon the video starts:
