I discuss the Seattle five-piece's self-titled debut album with MOG outsider, The Girlfriend (a.k.a Jill).
During Ragged Wood...
The GF: I thought this was supposed to be folk music?
Me: It is.
The GF: No, it isn’t. It’s a much bigger sound.
Me: What were you expecting, a one-man band?
The GF: It’s not exactly humble, using all the instrumentation.
Me: Would it help if they doffed their caps every now and then during songs? They could tap them against the mike, and say "Very so... MORE
I've gotta give my pick to: Fleet Foxes "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" from their S/T 2008 release. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Post your 5 star song as a new post and reply here with a link to your posts... or just post it here...whatever floats your boats. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes I dig in my heels, usually for no good reason. Last December my good friend Jaye went to a show I wanted to go to, except my sister was visiting. David Bazan was playing at The Crocodile Café in Seattle and another local band, Fleet Foxes, was opening for him. I skipped it to fight with my sister and it so happens that was the last night the Croc was open. The next day my favorite dive music venue was shut down. So I was jealous of Jaye and her g... MORE
"He Doesn't Know," as you'll see from one of the photos below, was the 8th song of the night.
The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Stanley Kubrick, Ethan Hawke, Jane Fonda, Mark Twain, Dylan Thomas, Jack Kerouac, Arthur Miller, Thomas Wolfe and that's just the beginning. New York City is unique in that it can shine as the superhero of uniqueness as much as it can fall victim to being just another stereotye. And the city by no m... MORE
Fleet Foxes: the second coming of My Morning Jacket? Has Jim James bifurcated somehow? Or taken a new identity & appearance after the Prince stylings of "Evil Urges"?
So many questions.
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 really - just the same old Duffy and Lil Wayne posters everywhere in Londo... MORE
And for any Vancouverites out there...Fleet Foxes will be coming to VanCity on the 16th of September playing at Richards on Richards. My calendar is abundant with happy music news, and seeing Fleet Foxes perform is one glowing highlight!
Former Chalky's Choice, Fleet Foxes have released a new video to accompany their song White Winter Hymnal.
Here it is: White Winter Hymnal - Ignore the message about the video no longer being available, if you press play it'll work anyhow!
This video is like parts of the album, quite dark but covered in the sweetest of rhythms and melodies. Apparently tickets for their midnight show at Union Hall, NY sold out in under 4 minutes!

Who Are Fleet Foxes? I’ll let them give their own introduction:
"We're a group of five from Seattle that sing for the fun of it and are into all kinds of music. We'd call this stuff baroque harmonic pop jams. Our names are Skye, Robin, Joshua, Casey, and Christian. We'll make some mistakes along the way but we hope you enjoy our little family business." Family business it might be, but small? Not any more. Fleet Foxes are taking the music world by storm and may find... MORE

Fleet Foxes - ragged woods Titus Andronicus - arms agaisnst apathy Big Mountain - Baby i love your way I have played these songs quite frequently this week for different purposes. ‘ragged woods’ strikes me because of the ethereal voice of the lead singer. There are many elements present in their style that are blended remarkably well. They are vastly becoming a favorite band of mine. ‘arms against apathy’ is an angry rant against what; I have no idea. The... MORE
