Hooray Friday (a day late)!
Just back from vacation with the LOML+1. You missed me, it's okay to admit it...
- Sneak peak the Cold War Kids' first single "Something Is Not Right With Me" off of Loyalty to Loyalty, out September 23rd. I'd say it's average.
- Being cable-less I've only been able to catch the Sundance Channel's Live from Abbey Road once or twice. This week featured The Black Keys and from the looks of the schedule, you can catch a replay tomorrow (Sunday) at 9am. Future episodes feature MGMT, Elbow, the Kills, the Fratellis, Gnarls Barkley and Ben Harper.
- Wilco covers galore (part 1 and 2) thanks to I am fuel. I've been a fan of these guys for years, but after their concert at the 9:30 in February, I'm pretty much addicted.
- Fleet Foxes stopped by NPR's World Cafe and recorded a three song Lillywhite Session.

Hooray Friday!
- Stream The Vines' latest effort, Melodia out July 19th. Thanks to MOKB for the K.
- Merge Records is making three M. Ward demos available for download. I am fuel alway with her fingers on the pulse.
- If you don't make your way over to NPR's music section periodically, you are missing out. Besides Monday's Fleet Foxes concert at the Black Cat, you can also stream recent gigs from Jim James (solo acoustic in Austin, TX) and Shearwater. Put that in your pipe...

Fleet Foxes - Black Cat (7/7/08)
Fleet Foxes is one of those bands that I feared was too good to be true. Their vocals and harmonies are so polished on their EP and self-titled debut, it wouldn't have surprised me if it was a product of technology and good production.
I couldn't have been more wrong. These guys are for real. Even with lead singer Robin Pecknold sick, they still made great music and belted out incredible harmonies for the sold out Black Cat. I was happy to see that for the most part the crowd cooperated as well, keeping the chatter to a minimum during songs. But if they were like me, it was because they were both captivated and blown away by Fleet Foxes' sound.
Don't take my word for it, listen for yourself on NPR.
