It seems back in May that I went pretty mainstream for a while. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am to see Mumford & Sons and Adele at the top of all the nominations this year. I'm one of those people that tunes into awards shows just to see GaGa get all bat shit, just so I know what the hell everyone is talking about the next day. Usually, most of the night is spent with me yelling phrases like "That's not music!" and "Kids these days!" Mumford & Sons gets extra credit because their lead singer Marcus Mumford looks like Stephen Fry's straight love child.

Isn't your whole day better?
And here's another song that everyone loved at first, clapped along with, then slowly started to hate. I'm still on the "Dog Days" bandwaggon because it'sjust a great song for walking around the city, and to be honest, that's really what I'm after in music. Whether you love or hate it, or loved it and now hate it, or hated it all along, I'm going to make this one wager. Ten years from now, you're going to be driving for some long distance, and somehow this song is going to sneak in the playlist, or whatever we're calling it then, and you're going to start singing along with abandon, nostalgic for the days you couldn't escape Florence + the Machine. Then you'll get on your whatever we're using then and download it from the Cloud or iForce or whatever. Then you'll come across "You've Got the Love" and say "Oh! I hated this one too" and immediately start jamming. Enjoy yourself, ten-years-older you, enjoy yourself.
