I went down to the Bay Area last weekend to see my girlfriend and get friendly with the Oakland bar scene. I had fleeting notions of watching a favorite SF band (Bridez, for example, would have been sick) tear up some dark gay bar, but we ended up passing the two days exactly how I wanted to: drunk and laying in the sun.
However, I did spend some time - fairly wasted and in the nude - listening to the Fleet Foxes (a Seattle band) album on vinyl. I saw Fleet Foxes singer Robin Pecknold at the Department of Eagles show in Seattle last week. Apparently he cut his hair recently, leading to very few people noticing the beloved vocalist in their midst. Here's my favorite Fleet Foxes video, directed by Robin's brother Sean (who directs all their videos) ably assisted by one or two of my newish friends at That-Go productions. I heard a rumor that Sean and the band have a new video in the works.
