Mumford and Sons, Pêtr Aleksänder and the London Contemporary Orchestra butcher Ariana's "breathin"

This is more "chokin" than "breathin". And the blame falls squarely on Marcus Mumford, who appears to lack any sense of pitch or rhythm.

Wow, I had no idea the band hangs out with the alt-right, but see this comment thread for the gruesome details.

does this trash group still hang out with mra and alt-right lobster hero jordan peterson?

What i came in here to know.

Also, this version is just soooo boring. And he sounds like a cheap Chris Martin knock off. And I don’t even like Coldplay past album 2.

apparently they gave an interview in september trying to walk it back by saying they don't agree with all of his views~

i really hope ariana calls them out for associating with someone who dogwhistles about legalizing rape and then trying to get attention by covering one of her songs about female empowerment, but her feminism is very pick and choose as we saw with the whole pete debacle. maybe her stans can tweet at her about it lmao

i wondered if they ever denounced him or not. like good thing their music is ear-bleedingly unlistenable now even if you used to like them like i did.

Power: There will be Mumford and Sons fans who would be trans, who would articulate themselves perhaps as feminists, who would define themselves non-binary, who may have opinions that would be incredibly contrary to Jordan Peterson's, and you saw that in how people were posting about it online and in the reaction to this photo that went online. Aren't you worried that posting a photo like this, or having a photo like this come out, could alienate those fans?

Marshall:I don't think that having a photograph with someone means you agree with everything they say. So I don't, really. Because then I wouldn't be able to have a photograph of anyone at risk of trying to offend anyone so I think I don't see the harm in engaging in conversation. And as I said earlier, primarily I'm interested in his psychological stuff, which I find very interesting. this entire interview is basically circular talking where they refuse to condemn him and just talk about how "interesting" his views are. and they try to act like his psychology stuff is seperate

ugh is that poor girl from glee still with him? so at best all but marcus are fans of peterson. at worst marcus is too, just wasn't in the picture. this is such a bullshit answer. thanks for finding it for me.

ugh yes Winston and Diana are married

[littlelistmaker]

But I think it's precisely why Peterson and [Sam] Harris and all these other guys are having these two or three-hour-long conversations on podcasts, and that those things are so popular, is because these are incredibly long and nuanced conversations to have.

oh wow he's really deep into this shit i cannot. poor dianna.

I mean after everything he’s also a Hitler apologist now.

He’s almost made for my hatred. I’m a socialist, feminist, bisexual, atheist, vegan, analytical philosophy grad student. I don’t think I could make up a worse person if I tried (maybe his fans ?...).

bigots always run in the same circles. he was subtle about his white supremacist ties in the beginning but has slowly turned it up.

aparently the men who leave his cult call themselves ex-lobsters and reading through their stories is very very reminiscent of those "trump regrets" tweets lol

„Clack your claws with other ex lobsters“

Reading through these I actually feel a bit sorry for some of them... it’s really so much like a cult.

[swifterland]

I mean i doubt she or most people even know about all that, or who jordan peterson even is. the band hasn't been relevant for years

[sobremarina]

true, most people aren't really paying close attention to political news despite everything going on

it would still be very interesting if her stans were made aware of this band's connections and went after them and their neckbeard fans like when those conservatives tried to come for mariah and her stans trolled the shit out of them lol

[swifterland]

I mean I follow closely to political news but I didn't know who he was lol, there's so many awful major things that happen like twice a week its hard to keep track of all the evil beings in power and what shitty things they've done now

but yes omg I agree I love when stans get political and use their power for good lmao, like when taylor swift fans started going after republican fans and stuff. it's so delightful to watch

Thanks for the ☕️! Now I’m appalled by something other than Mumford’s musicianship.
