--- - |- I've been blessed this year in that I've had an almost continual stream of new music to capitvate my ears. At some point, though, I got so backed up in listening to new albums that some simply fell through the cracks. At the time I'm writing this I still have over thirty five albums in digital format that have never even been unzipped {yeah, I'm a little backed up}. One band that...
Entering the UK album chart at number 11 this week, new comers Fleet Foxes are giving a "whatsup wave" to the industry biggies just ahead of them such as Coldplay, Duffy, Neil Diamond, Paul Weller and The Fratelis. This is all the more impressive when you notice that L.A. rockers Weezer charted at only number 21 this week with their new album. Either Fleet Foxes are being majorly hyped (not r...

[Photos by Merry Swankster]July 22, 2008 : Hi-Dive Denver, COFleet Foxes rolled through the Mile-High and the buzz was palpable. A pre-show sell out at the 200 capacity Hi-Dive left many without a way in. After sitting thru a so-so opening set from The Dutchess and the Duke, the Seattle five-piece took to the stage. With only one proper LP and one EP to their credit, the question of would th...
Apparently it's been snowing all day in New York (image above not actual). I stepped outside a few hours ago only to realize this. Despite my urge to make a snowball gloveless, I came back inside. Then, despite my urge to stream shows online and eat candy simultaneously, I decided to write a post. Tonight bears Ruff Club, and I'm blogging in an attempt to remind you all that you should still...

"In the quivering forest/ Where the shivering dog rests," the group sings, in the dulcet harmonies that won me over at the Pitchfork Festival. The song is Fleet Foxes' "Blue Ridge Mountains", with mandolin and piano comp...

Fleet Foxes / Photo by David GreenwaldI hate to say it, but '08's not so great so far. Last year I had most of my year-end favorites early on thanks to Rawkblog staples such as the National, Wilco, Elliott Smith and Jens Lekman, but most of my regulars have taken this year off. I'm still excited about Cut Copy, Fleet Foxes and the Hold Steady but outside of that, I don't know how things are goi...
