I really don’t get excited for new music very often. As a matter of fact it is remarkable how much new music I do listen to via Spotify, Sirius and Slacker but do not buy.

That said, I had the epiphany today that Mumford & Son’s sophomore album, Babel, comes out Sept. 24.

The last memorable live show I went to was at this little place called the Bluebird in Bloomington, Ind. where Mumford played during a heavy spring storm and I was soaked.

Sigh No More also made for some emotive running music as I trained for my first half marathon.
