Can obsessions be a good thing?

I've found a new obsession.  Mumford & Sons.  I'm trying not to let it become a full-blown obsession, but I've listened to them every day for the past two weeks.  I am however refusing to Google them (except to get this picture for my blog, I promise), so I think that's a step in the right direction.  

I first heard about this band (and then unfortunately forgot all about them) in October when I visited my friend Anna in Philly.  She mentioned this band she liked that had thoughtful lyrics and hailed from England.  I was informed the lead singer was the son of the pastor of the church I visited when I was in London (did you get all that?) And once she mentioned London, all thoughts of a band from there evaporated like vapor as I regaled her with all the reasons I loved London and the SW London Vineyard.  


Then, I started hearing this amazing song on CD 101 called the Cave, listened to more of their songs on YouTube, added them as a station on Pandora and finally discovered my sister had the album.  I love home share!


I think everyone needs to discover this wonderful band.  Here's a link to their website where you can check out a few of their videos.

 The Cave is a great one to start with!  Just a warning, one of their songs has the f-word, if it bothers you just skip over the song Little Lion Man (but it's really good so if it helps you can remind yourself that the f-word is not as bad in the UK as it is here, I don't really know if that's true but 2 people have told me it is true).
