MUSIC TO MY EARS

I have always been drawn to music, but over these past few years, I have made it an important hobby of mine. Finding a great album is like striking gold, so when I found The Fleet Foxes, I felt as if I was the wealthiest person alive. They where first discovered from one of those free Starbucks cards you pick up at the counter. The free itunes download led to me purchasing the entire album and obsessing over their folky melodic voices. You will find only one
complete album, but it is worth every penny.

I have a confession: My brother in law loves to record concert performances, and this year, I was able to view the Fleet Foxes performance at Glastonbury. If I wasn't already in love with their voices, I became obsessed with them as a whole band. Calm and collective on stage, the band looked as if they came straight out of the forest with their straggly beards and plaid button up shirts, but wait- they where also wearing Wellies!!! I had wanted the Hunter rain boots otherwise known as wellies for some time, but now that the fleet foxes had them (they looked so cool!) I had to HAVE them too. A few months later, I received the nicest pair of Merlot colored wellies under the Christmas tree.

As embarrassing as that story is, I truly feel that this album is an enjoyable listen on a relaxing afternoon, so let their voices be heard!

Favorite song: Mykonos & Your Protector
