Kindred spirits along the etheral throwback folk road, Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom were a natural pairing for the most recent edition of PBS' long-running Austin City Limits program. With setlists comprised largely of work from their most recent releases ( Helplessness Blues and Have One on Me , respectively), each showed why they're considered among the cream of the current crop. Watch the full episode below, or wait a couple of days and watch it in high quality television format on OPB TV this Saturday night at [...]
Something a bit different from us today, in the form of First Aid Kit. They look just exactly how they sound, huge floppy felt hats and reels of ethnic fabric floating around them. Add to this the flowing long hair and they look like the kind of people you see dancing in a particularly intense manner next to an empty stage on a lazy festival day. A visual representation of the Summer of Love. But with no Glastonbury this year, maybe these girls are what we are all missing out on. Klara & Johanna Söderberg are Swedish sisters [...]
Eric Charles Christenson - his name has the same cadence and a a similar whimsical ring to a certain famous Dutch fabulist. Unlike Hans Christian Anderson however, Eric does not lope across the countryside dishing out morals to eager children, (nor was he ever portrayed by Danny Kaye in a move in 1953.) What he does dish out is tasty earfuls of catchy Indie-pop to the delight of Chippewa Valley Music lovers via Wisconsin Built , his musical collaboration with fellow Eau Claireianite Thom Fountain. The WB recently ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to raise [...]
Para fechar definitivamente o ano musical de 2011 e tal como em anos anteriores (com excepção para o ano de 2009), faltam os famosos pRéMIOs especiais merecidos por algumas bandas/artistas (vá, podem ser chamados os "Kraaks de Ouro") merecem ter na prateleira do local onde ensaiam. A lista poderia ser algo extensa, mas vou seleccionar apenas alguns que merecem efectivamente o prémio a ver se
4. helplessness blues fleet foxes sub pop, may 3, 2011 "helplessness blues" if not for the difficulties i faced this year, helplessness blues would no doubt be higher than number 4. who knows--given my current state and the questions i have been left with concerning life and happiness, i can see myself developing a more personal connection to this album as time goes by.

Tweet This winter has been kind of a bummer. Where I'm at, we haven't experienced even one good snow. I really love winter. Not so much being cold all the time, but the feeling that you get while listening to some great winter music. Last year, for me, it was Fleet Foxes . There's something about waking up to a winter wonderland outside, making coffee, and listening to some great cold weather-inspired albums. Needless to say that around this time, I start looking for music [...]
We got to see Win Butler and Arcade Fire show why everyone loves them so much not too long ago when they performed on Austin City Limits . This weekend Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom were the guests of honour and brought along some tantalising performances. Fleet Foxes performed some tracks off of their latest LP Helplessness Blues as well as a few older tracks from the self titled LP, "Your Protector" and "Blue Ridge Mountains" both make an appearance. Joanna Newsom also played a number of tracks, three to precise. T wo [...]
Facebook Matt Ward has had a pretty good last few years thanks to his willingness to not be Matt Ward, or more specifically M. Ward . Yes, putting his solo endeavours largely on the backburner since 20092s Hold Time has allowed him to put out two She & Him albums with Zooey Deschanel and one Monsters Of Folk record with Jim James and Conor Oberst , and certainly garner more popular success than he ever has on his own. But apparently [...]
Si tan solo hace una semana veíamos el recital entero de Arcade Fire en el escenario del programa televisivo Austin City Limits , hoy ya podemos ver el siguiente episodio del envío protagonizado por Fleet Foxes y Joanna Newsom . La talentosa arpista interpretó para la ocasión sus temas Bridges and Balloons , Have One on Me y [...]
The times, they are a-changin': months ago, The New York Times quoted Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon as saying "We should not be gathering in a big room and looking at each other and pretending this is important," in reference to the Grammy Awards (and Bon Iver's four nominations). Then, the above promotional poster surfaced. No word yet as to whether or not Vernon & co. will be performing on the broadcast. Old Ideas , the new album by Leonard Cohen - his 12th, in fact - [...]

With the Fleet Foxes wrapping up their final shows in Japan last week and having fulfilled their contract for Sub Pop, their future as an entity for the short term and long term is uncertain. The gentlemen of Fleet Foxes will hardly go missing though. Josh Tillman is now FATHER JOHN MISTY with a too [...]
Lots of good music hit your television screen since Friday night in case you missed out while hitting the sauce hard over the weekend. Cults made their victory lap on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (video via the Audio Perv ). Los Campesinos will be making their way to Denver at the end of the month with a gig at the Bluebird Theater, but played Letterman Friday night. Joanna Newsom took to Austin City Limits with her harp and angelic voice for a night in the Sherwood Forrest with a split episode with the princes [...]
J. Tillman, the drummer for Fleet Foxes , has left the band and posted his farewell on Tumblr . His last show with the band was in Tokyo on January 20.

You can listen and download the song "People in her Mind" here , which will be on the band's Illusion EP that is planned for release on March 27. Click here for last [...]
Here's another great weekend video option from the fine folks over at Austin City Limits: Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom....
Há poucos dias, uma péssima notícia abalou os fãs do Fleet Foxes : a saída de J. Tillman , baterista do grupo folk. Entretanto, a emissora PBS resolveu reconfortar os fãs aflitos e transmitir uma apresentação do grupo no programa Austin City Limits, ainda com J. Tillman na formação e com uma bela setlist que incluiu algumas das melhores faixas do recente Helplessness Blues (que figurou na nossa lista de melhores de 2011 ) e dois dos sucessos do álbum de estreia do Fleet Foxes . Após a apresentação dos [...]
Photo by Philip Cosores So, you'll be seeing these Austin City Limits episodes for the next few weeks, as their impressive slate of performers this season includes Arcade Fire , Florence + The Machine, Lykke Li, and more. Last night, the hour episode was slip with Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom. Fleet Foxes, whose singer Robin Pecknold recently tweeted that the band is now without scheduled tour dates and a record deal, performed songs new ("The Shrine, An Argument" "Helplessness Blues") and old ("Your Protector" "Blue Ridge Mountains"). Joanna Newsom performed less songs in number, [...]
Παραδοσιακά, ο χρόνος στο some beans κυλάει πιο αργά. Όχι τίποτα άλλο, αλλά θα νομίζετε ότι είμαστε παλαιοημερολογί τες που τώρα γιορτάζουν την έλευση του 2012 και ήδη έχουν περάσει τις θηλιές στο λαιμό τους εν όψει της επικείμενης καταστροφής του κόσμου. Βέβαια, από ότι είδα σε μια αφίσα, αυτές τις μέρες πετάνε το σταυρό στη θάλασσα οπότε ακόμα κι έτσι αργήσαμε. Είπαμε όμως, στα αποστκτήρια του some beans ξέρουμε ότι η καλή η λίτα θέλει το χρόνο της. Ιδού λοιπόν το 2ο μέρεος με τα 70 δικά μου αγαπημένα τραγούδια του 2011. [...]
In case you missed the debut, I am sure there are plenty of replays scheduled for the Fleet Foxes performance on Austin City Limits . I've never had the opportunity to catch these guys live, but their portion on the most recent episode was extremely impressive. Frontman Robin Pecknold's voice is so unique and even with the heavy twang, I'm still a fan. Check out some behind the scenes footage and definitely get your DVR game on to see their performance at the 2011 Austin City Limits.
