It is lovely. It was mentioned on here around Xmas time as it's a bit festive sounding, do you think?!

I love another one on that album but forget the name. Goes 'Penniless and tired with your hair all grown..'

cestlavie · 27/03/2009 15:02

It's gorgeous but I definitely prefer Your Protector from the same album...

cestlavie · 27/03/2009 15:04

"Your Protector" here

MargaretMountford · 27/03/2009 15:07

I love Fleet Foxes ! He Doesn't Know Why also good...

I got this from iTunes a few days ago, it's lovely, and my baby ds loves it too, has a very easy beat.

I've not caught all the lyrics but I have a feeling when I figure them out the words will be less pretty than the tune!

I've been listening to this album today, I love it. My favourite track is Blue Ridge Mountains, it's so good.

Heathcliffscathy · 27/03/2009 15:15

Your protector is my favourite too!

Heathcliffscathy · 27/03/2009 15:16

another top tip given to me by enid i think is midlake....v good

beanieb · 27/03/2009 15:20

best song of last year!

I was so gutted that I couldn't go to see them in Feb but they ARE playing Glastonbury! YAY! I can't wait.

Their Song 'drops in the river' is gorgeous.
plus they have beards which is always a bonus!

beanieb · 27/03/2009 15:22

sophable - yes MIDLAKE are great too. I really want to see them live but don't think they are touring

I heard a band I liked the other day - I think called leisure society which you might like.

Heathcliffscathy · 27/03/2009 15:22

they are a teensy bit worthy irl imo but their music makes up for it!

Heathcliffscathy · 27/03/2009 15:22

i'll have a hunt on itunes

beanieb · 27/03/2009 15:24

leisure society here

beanieb · 27/03/2009 15:25

sorry for the multi posting but you can see what I mean about the midlake sound of Leisure society here

Heathcliffscathy · 27/03/2009 15:30

oooo i like!

PuppyMonkey · 27/03/2009 15:36

Yes they're fab. They were on The Culture Show t'uther week playing live. Absolutely faultless voices they've got, would love to see them live!

Heathcliffscathy · 27/03/2009 15:39

actually my fave isn't your protector at all, it's he doesn't know. which is fandabulous!

daftpunk · 27/03/2009 15:45

wowooo...sure that's from... he doesn't know why (might be wrong?)

mykonos is brilliant...

Boco · 27/03/2009 16:25

Anyone else like Elvis Perkins? His album Ash Wednesday is really good. He's the son of Anthony Perkins, the psycho from psycho.

Boco · 27/03/2009 16:29

this one good

daftpunk · 27/03/2009 16:32

oh wow Boco..that 2nd link is a brilliant song...never heard of him..thanks!

Boco · 27/03/2009 16:41

He's brilliant isn't he. Am glad you like him
