-Holy shit, Mumford & Sons. They've been getting a lot of airplay here in Austin, and I've just absolutely fell in love with them. I bought their album, Sigh No More, the other day, and I just...wow. I haven't felt so "Yes. This." about a band since The Mountain Goats. Also, this is the first time in years I've fallen in love with a band's music ( Read more... )

Yay Chiana costume! I look forward to pictures.

Yuck re: Rachel Adams' encounter with ICE. FWIW, *all* green-card holders have to have their papers inspected by immigration on entering the US, so I don't know why the Daily Fail is making a big thing of that. The immigration officer's rudeness was definitely out of line, though, even if said officer was probably feeling a little punchy after a long shift or something.

Oh, it wasn't the papers-inspecting, it was the telling her how McAdams should manage her career that was messed up.

I've basically been listening to the whole Sigh no More album on repeat for six months now. It doesn't get old. SO GUUUUUUUUD.

It's got a lot of the same creepy magical realism that I find (and adore) in a lot of Mountain Goats stuff, but with banjos! And fiddles!
