La La Blogothèque threw a party at the end of May and invited Fleet Foxes, the Dodos, Vandaveer, Essie Jaine, and Noah And The Whale to play. As that FF still suggests, it was a dark night, offering sharp contrast to the Foxes light-as-air melodies and the Dodos buoyant harmonies and “The Fools”‘s stick work. That said, some non-Foxes join-in on “White Winter Hymnal” and kinda fuck-up the crystalline harmonies, but that sort of things happens at parties, right? (Note: It’s different when the non-FF’s are Wilco or two Swedish girls.)

    the fleets are getting too much hype…overrated! the dodos are real good though

    Dodos look like they put on a cool live show. I had a chance to see them at Siren, but didnt catch their set. Now I think that might have been a mistake

  3. That girl behind J.Tillman who thought it would be a fucking great idea to join in should be hunted down and shot. How irritating for them.

  4. For playing my least favorite song off the new album, the dodos sure rocked the fuck out of that. i cant wait to get the chance to see them live

  5. Couldnt have said it better myself, stephen.

    I think it is rather disrespectful and unintelligent to refer to First Aid Kit as “two swedish girls”, do a little research, please. But I guess Stereogum wouldn’t mind if we referred to it as “some random website”

    Fleet Foxes deserve the hype. They’re incredible.

    Cool band I heard about them on Cafemaroon.com although he sounds very similar to My Morning Jacket!!!

  9. They are “two Swedish girls.” Stereogum is also a “music website.”

    I liked when a Dodo fell off his chair at Pitchfork because he was so into it.

  10. anyone notice the incorrect title for “Fools”?

    just a thought.

    The dodo vid is so sublime. Paris at night is so surreal. What a combo.
    un probleme, I tried to find the dodo “Fool” vid @ the blogotheque site and couldn’t find it.
    Is it under a different name or what?

    please, please, help me out

    Mike
