So I saw The Grammys on Sunday. Before Sunday, I had never heard any of the music of Mumford & Sons. Their performance absolutely blew me away, sent chills up my spine, and sent me straight to iTunes where I bought their album and have been listening to it nonstop ever since.
Yesterday - Monday, aka “The Day After The Grammys” - I wanted to relive that magical moment of discovering a band that I suddenly loved blow my mind out of my brainpan in a killer live performance that every band hopes for and nearly all bands never get. I had seen said performance on The Grammys the night before, so surely there must be video of the performance up the next day… Right?
I went to The Grammys site. They had nothing but videos of people accepting awards. Hey, you know what the most boring parts of The Grammys were? Exactly.
I went to Youtube, and found two videos of the awesome Mumford & Sons performance - both made by people videotaping their television sets while the performance was playing. Yes, you read that right: They videotaped their TVs and uploaded them to YouTube. Jesus.
