Fake ‘Fleet Foxes’ covers
Just a quick update to everyone -
Some of you may have seen some covers of songs floating around Tumblr claiming that they are by Fleet Foxes. They are not. The covers of “Dancing On My Own”, “Halo”, “Giving Up The Gun”, “Waterfalls”, “Rolling In The Deep” and others are made by a Tumblr called Fleet Foxes Sing. Although hilariously entertaining, they’re not done by the band! Just letting everyone know. :)

"— Skye Skjelset’s top 9 things of 2011, via Pitchfork.
"1. Kurt Vile – Smoke Ring for My Halo & Bill Callahan – Apocalypse – “I got… runner ups… YEEEAAH!” and the part in “Universal Applicant” where Bill does the flare gun sound effects.
2. The license plate that said “SNUTS”
3. The section of “Codex” by Radiohead where he sings “Jump off the end” and the piano ascends but the vocal melody descends. And the drum sound that’s like tapping your finger on a chair at the airport.
4. Portishead in Poznan, Poland & Bill Callahan in Chorzow, Poland.
5. The Walkmen playing horns together in the basement of the Masonic Temple in Cleveland, recording it on my phone, and then watching it all the time.
6. Van Dyke Parks’ business card
7. The album “To My Long Lost Love” by an anonymous Portland musician. Easily the new album I’ve listened to most.
8. The show Breaking Bad
9. Etta James’ version of “God’s Song (That’s Why I Love Mankind)” by Randy Newman
10. William Tyler, BEHOLD THE SPIRIT! So awesome."
