They're outselling Weezer. And Dennis Wilson is in the top ten. Have we slipped into another dimension?

mad innit
but good mad
not bad mad
got a
mad good review in the independent music section, thus interesting my father.
maybe dads are reet into it.
they got an ace review
in the guardian so I'm sure alot of people head about it there and in them sort of places. Its not like they are super indie unassesalbe or anything they are pretty middle of the road.
MASS APPEAL
they walked in just at the right momenr
after BoH and MMJ and Bon Iver hacked a shining path through the previously unappealing Beard Jungle,
and
the reviews say it is all Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young & Wilson & Wilson & Garfunkel
but
cleverly
FF didn't have any shit songs on their album
= blowjobs + chocolate for breakfast
No?
Its WATERED DOWN GRIZZLY BEAR, of course its popular.
grizzly bear need watering down
their shit is too tightly wrapped
gonna make themselves ill
you'll see
the Grizzly Bear Care Home for the Terminally Busy
they never close
I much preffer Grizzly Bear
would take them over Flight Foxes anyday of the week. They acctualy have tunes that stick in ya head and all that. They even get remade into hip hop tunes they are that ace hehe
Fleet Foxes have tunes that stick in your head
maybe even more so than Grizzly Bear. But I too prefere Grizzly bear as the atmosphere they create in a song is outstanding.
Both Great bands and its great news Fleet Foxes are doing well !
it is indeed cool they are doin well
I dont get the fleet foxes fuss though I cant rember a single tune after hearing them quite a bit.
well fair enough
it's all a matter of taste right?
I remember a fair few of their tunes myself.
yep indeed
it might grow on me in time and I will come and shout about how wrong I was hehe
true dat
definitely watered down. it's annoying a band like that gets such success while grizzly bear definitely didn't
yellow house is so much a superior album to the FF album, which is OK , but it's not amazing by any stretch of the imagination
also, have you listened to "english houses" on the FF EP, it's a direct rip of Grizzly Bear's easier, GB should be getting some royalties on that shit
hmm
maybe i'll go buy the album then
Ill have to do this I think
oops
i never did. oh well
Number 11!
dont think it will be top 20
by Sunday, but this is still ace.
Erm, it is
I've just said so.
it is sunday today you know
i can understand this
my dad bought the album and thought it was really fantastic,though unoriginal. most people aren't aware of all the other music that sounds quite like FF. it's the more accessable.
Grizzly Bear is dull
Fleet foxes is dull but marginally better.
I've got them both though so I'm probably dull+
not
dull at all
you the dumb
you the cumb
