I was ambivalent towards the Fleet Foxes until a couple of weeks ago when Robin Pecknold joined the discussion on the FFs backlash on LineOut and I went from being neutral on them to really, really hoping they succeed (even if they aren't my cup o' tea). His response was eloquent and gracious and humble. Altogether perfect and far more mature than a lot of musicians many years older would give in response to their critics.
But - and I have no axe to grind or any bitterness or jealousy (and would say the same thing about my favorite local band, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground, if it were true) - TIG becoming All Fleet Foxes All The Time is getting exhausting. Do we really need a blog post on every thing they do?
