Given it's Pitchfork Fest weekend, this week's playlist is related to last year's Pitchfork sensation Fleet Foxes. You know Fleet Foxes, right? I found their CD at Target so it's not like they're some obscure band.
One of the Fleet Foxes, Robin Pecknold, played a solo show last weekend in Seattle, and because it's 2009 somebody put it on the Internet almost immediately afterward.
Aside from a few FF songs, he threw renditions of songs by the Magnetic Fields, Fleetwood Mac (one from the Peter Green era, another from Rumours), Nilsson, and Neutral Milk Hotel into his set. For the older folks out there, that's the modern-day equivalent of a band covering the Velvet Underground, the 1910 Fruitgum Company, and The Gay Bob Dylan or something.
It's free, and (apparently) authorized:
