“mykonos”

fleet foxes are going to be on saturday night live this saturday the 17th. they are going to play two of my favorite songs, “mykonos” and “blue ridge mountains.” also, the same snl will be hosted by none other than the beautiful and talented rosario dawson. that has to be the best snl in recent memory. i won’t even care if the skits are shit like they always are, it will be worth it to see fleet foxes and rosario dawson.

if you’ve never heard fleet foxes, do yourself a favor and check them out. on their myspace they have both songs that they will be performing on snl and a few more from their latest highly acclaimed album. fleet foxes are one of my most cherished bands of late, and will continue to be for years to come.

as per usual, if you miss fleet foxes’ performance i will post it here if it becomes available, otherwise i will provide a link so you can watch it.

below is a good introductory if you’re new to fleet foxes, and it’s also just a beautiful song.

“he doesn’t know why”

new video by fleet foxes for the song “white winter hymnal” off their new self-titled album. this is a very creative and beautiful video. i love stop motion animation.
