Fleet Foxes
Just a quick shout out to recent Pitchfork laudees Fleet Foxes.
Not only did they put on a kick ass show at Walter's last night opening for Blitzen Trapper (who were also good), but they get some extra cool points as well.
I went to buy their new EP, sound unheard, on the strength of their vocally harmonious 70s-ish folk rock, and the band member that sold me the EP not only offered to negotiate the price (thankfully I had no problem spending the $7 asked), but told me that if I was internet-savy, I should download the leak of their new album.
Which I would have done anyway. But it's good to see an artist recognize that I just want to hear the music, and have faith that if I like it, I'll buy it when the product itself.
Nice job, guys.
