What the names to these stores you speak about?

Like, if there are any non Barnes & Noble/Borders places in your town that sells albums. Like, in Athens (my town) I go to a place called Schoolkids Records. They have fantastic selection.

The new album is due out May 3. *bleep* yeah.

Same here, me and my friends wanted to see them in New York when we all got back from college but they sold out in a few hours. Guess I should have expected that.

I've been listening to Helplessness Blues intently for the last few days and it's phenomenal. There's really no way that a Fleet Foxes fan won't appreciate it since there's not much deviation from their style, but as always, they're producing fresh, new material that's really just great. There's a lot of prospective albums dropping this year but as of right now it's my top album of the year.

I was debating whether or not I should try to afford catching their show here in May, but they've reaffirmed with this album that I absolutely have to go.

Helplessness Blues is just sublime. I love it. I might even go so far to say it's better than their debut, at least personally speaking.

When Robin sings "Sunlight over me no mater what I do" in 'The Shrine', it's pure magic.

Very well said.

Here, I thought Fleet Foxes couldn't top their eponymous album. I started paying attention when they said they wanted their next album to be "less poppy and more groovy" - less poppy? How damn folk can you get? Of course, they didn't let me down. "Oh, Montezuma, this sounds awesome. Definitely my favori- no, no, Blue Spotted Tail is just too pretty, that has to be th- no, Bitter Dancer, definit- or maybe Helplessness Blues, that's- no, Grown Ocean- no, The Shrine- GAH" I can't choose any favorite song. The whole album is gorgeous.

I saw them live last night, oh god it was awesome. I was in the second row. The entire crowd was singing to every song. The Shrine was *bleep*ing incredible. They played a new song during the encore, it was beautiful. They ended with Helplessness Blues, it was orgasmic.
