Lately I’ve been just blabbering on about Fleet Foxes to anyone who will listen, and I’ve been trying to locate a copy of their debut EP (from 2006, self-released *not* the releases on Bella Union or Sub Pop) to the point of calling local Seattle record shops. To No Avail. The more I listen to this band, the more I love them. Still not getting all of the Beach Boys comparisons, though. Sometimes the vocal harmonies are in the ball park, but that’s as close as it gets.

The good news is that they are making a Boston appearance on Monday October 6th at the Somerville Theater (I. Am. SOOOO. There.) The bad news is that the tickets have either not yet gone on sale, or the show is sold out. A handful of online agencies are showing tickets for insane prices – like $100 US for an orchestra seat. I mean, I love the band, but they ARE an indie rock band…

Anyway.

Newbury Comics placed a TON of amazing CDs in their $1.99 clearance bin, so, guess where I was for several hours yesterday. Honestly, they should have a VIP listening suite set up for people like me. 😉

More good stuff to come. But for now…lunch.
