Fleet Foxes "Blue Ridge Mountains"
Something magic happens when musicians get together with the folks at La Blogotheque. The Fleet Foxes performance at the Grand Palais was no exception.
What’s on your mind tonight?
Grand Palais!
Hi ES….. too tired to go through the disable/enable the add-on to play the youtube…. will catch it tomorrow….
Good night my friend….. will dream of the blue blue waters of Crete
Hi CE and katymine.
My goodness, that’s a lot of trouble just to be able to view a youtube.
Paris is wonderful — any friends here? Aunt Toby?
Digg it!
Hey Eureka!
Hiya Chris.
Day 3 in the books.
Hey newt!
Good evening newtonusr
Hi Chris, I’m here.
Night katymine, sweet dreams.
ES. You have outdone yourself. These guys are good.
LOL. Next time they play the Palais… I think we should both go over a supervise personally. *s*
Sweet, ES.
On a side note, pups, and pardon the loose way this is phrased, but we got ourselves a government again.
I for one an very pleased.
G’evening, ES & Pups. What’s on my mind? New haircut, new Prez, life is good.
hear, hear
Parlez-vous francais?
Chris will give us lessons and we’ll go over and you supervise, I’ll just try not to get in the way.
I gave myself the funniest haircut ever this week. My barber shears messed up about halfway through, So am standing in my yard (that’s where I cut my hair) looking like I just dipped my head in a blender.. laughing ’til my side hurt.
Thank doG I don’t have close neighbors… they would have called the paddy wagon years ago.
Just wear it like you meant it to be cut that way. Artistic spirit, yanno!
I considered it for more than a few moments…)
ok *puts a quarter in the jukebox* here’s a group i just discovered thanks to my fave radio station, and i’m crazy about them. If you like old-timey music, give them a listen … Carolina Chocolate Drops playing “Cornbread and Butterbeans.”
I love CCD!
they are Teh Awesome! And their “Memphis Shakedown” is just about the most fantabulous kazoo playing i’ve EVAH heard. And for the guys, the young lady playing the kazoo is pretty easy on the eyes. Myself, i’d rather stare at the jug player *g*
ES,
You consistently amaze me man.
I am old now, gray beard and all, but those young fellers have some freaking talent and sort of remind me of a bunch of fellers that came out of England way back when.
These guys (from Seattle) are pretty big time… Though most of their youtubes suck. Tboggers in general don’t like them… and I silently agreed from what I had heard on youtube.
But this video finally did them justice… and it’s obvious a band like this requires a professional artiste’ (like Blogotheque) to capture them correctly.
I’m just glad they did.
I am a Disestablishmentarian
refers to the withdrawal of state support of an established church that was formerly part of the state establishment. A prime example is when the British monarchy under Henry VIII withdrew its support of the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 and established the Church of England. The National Secular Society is a noted contemporary advocate for the disestablishment of the modern Church of England.
Mais Oui, bein sur Les Fuax Fleet es tres interreesant. Bon Jour Alles.
The National Secular Society is a British campaigning organisation that promotes secularism, the separation of church and state, to make society fair for everyone, whatever their belief or lack of one. It holds that no-one should gain advantage or disadvantage because of religion. It was founded by Charles Bradlaugh in 1866. The society is a member organisation of the International Humanist and Ethical Union, and endorses the Amsterdam Declaration 2002.
The secular socisty taked religion out of politics where BushCo put it in with Regent folks. Obama leans in that direction. Just Saying.
ditto
If you were in Paree your haircut could be fashion setting. No?
G)
Talk about a long term plan and an uphill battle.
I’ve got a good pair of climbing boots!
They might Shakeaspearean. Certainlt studied, controlled and contemplative unlike American GaGa. Plus paris offers little nourishment in the continental breakfast of coffee, baguettes and jam. Unless you spend bucks
I doubt it.. I think those years have passed.
Never been to Paree, not yet. been all around France but never enough time.
Interesting take on my secular comment. These Foxes of yours seem more French, who do not waste so much energy on “looking clean”. No deodorant, hair spray antibacterial soaps and clean to a fault. we pour more shit down the bathroom plumbing than Carter has pills.
I still have my Whites wildland fire fighting boots and hip waders for the platitudes and glorious hope/change remarks. No prob bro. They are good for ass kickin when required to move the paradigm in the progressive direction.
Heard Amy Goodman today Norn Chomsky was sayin we are not getting the complete package from Baraks promises.
They talk really fast in Paris in SOud de France it is easy goin and moreso in the country Ces’t a Dire.
Fleet Foxes are from Seattle.
Chomsky was on Democracy Now? If so, I will definitely listen to that tomorrow.
Obama’s tactics are a policy that right and left can all pull on thr wagon. Not much change there.
I picture myself as more of a Côtes du Rhône southern type. /s
Putting it to bed – keep well pups.
Thanks for the hospitality Eureka.
Fleet Foxes are from Seattle.
I like the unpretentious stlye that under whelms. No electrics theatre in the round and a solid message you can live with. A real treat.
G’ nite SunnyN
Not very busy at the lake tonight?
Just back from an Alaskans for Truth meeting in Anchorage. Our first in about three weeks.
Dennis Zaki is back from Emmonak. He’s pumped by what he learned. I’m hoping to get him onto firedoglake sometime over the next three days for a Q & A session. He needs sleep right now, though. And he may have caught the whooping cough from the whooping cough epidemic going on in the Y-K Rivers delta.
Isn’t that close to Aix-en-Provence?
Alaskans for Truth?
What an area of the planet with 300 days of sun 45″ of rain 20 miles from the Med. My dog what a place and all their wine has to be 11% alcohol by volume. You have expensive taste ES. Writers paradise and if I remember Picasso headed that way with his many lady friends.
Bill Moyers…”Hard to tell the robbers from the bankers”. Almost feel over laughing.
Yeah, I could blog from there….)
Well I’m calling it a night.
Be well, see you soon.
nite
Alaskans for Truth.
Maybe we could get the Fleet Foxes up here from the Seattle area to do a benefit in the Wasilla Sports Complex. ETette saw and heard them play last summer.
David Sirota and Thomas Frank on Bill Moyers
The three of them all recognise Barak as a brilliant guy. That is making a politically strategic mistake…trying to get 80% vote by reaching across the aisle and giving away unecessarily,
They say like Roosevelt that he needs to be pushed to the progessive agenda. After all he won the elections resoundingly. He promised change and needs to regulate wall street. He he needs congress to open up investigations to find out what the banks did to destroy the economy so John Q Public can know to…transparency. We also, not discussed need, fairness in media ownership…McCain gave it to the conservatives.
My dog woke me up. Then I saw this about Coleman folks maybe doctoring documents. I may never get back to sleep.
Morning, folks; it’s windy and cold here in Upstate NY this morning; the indoor outdoor thermometer is still on the fritz so I have no idea just how cold it is but it feels darned cold.
Morning all, winter has returned here with snow in the forecast for the next several days.
Loo Hoo – saw that piece yesterday. Coleman’s attorney said golly gee how did that happen – must have been the evil nasty photo copier
the respond does not seem to be working right, but this is for you Mike – as you know, you can never trust copiers – they jumpt up, grab your stuff, mangle it and spit it out the back.
Yes. I’m hoping Coleman’s team gets caught on tampering.
That’s continually happening to my documents.
See…Coleman is just a victim..a victim, I tell you, of malevolent Democratic leaning copier machines.
Maybe we should have a commission to study the issue of photo copier attacks.
Absolutely – obviously the copiers, esp the newer ones that you can scan and email stuff from, are in cahoots with the Left Bloggisphere to deny Sen. Coleman from his seat…
Good morning, pups. It’s Collins, Blow and Herbert today. Ms. Collins, in “The New Hillary,” asks why, in a state chock full of distinguished residents, was it so hard to scrounge up a senatorial replacement for Hillary Clinton? Mr. Blow gives us “No More Excuses?” He says Barack Obama’s ascent to the presidency does not mean that all black children will automatically have an easier — or equal — route to success. Mr. Herbert says it’s “More Than Charisma.” He’s seen charismatic politicians come and go like sunrises and sunsets over the years. There was something more that was making people go ga-ga over Barack Obama. Something deeper.
Here they are.
The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got some banana walnut muffins today. We’ve got some cloud cover, which makes a nice blanket, so our temperatures are more back to what’s normal for us. The private client has swamped me with work, so I’m off to apply my nose to the grindstone. Have a great day.
It’s a copy machine conspiracy!
Back to bed for me.
Aw, Marion….well, take care of your nose and don’t grind it too vigorously….
Hey, the next thing you know, the copiers and left blogistan will hook up with SkyNet and then, as we all know…it’s all over…
Those dang subversive photo copiers must have taken over Eric Canters office too, Why else would he say that the economic rescue package is spending more on grass than it is on business.
Caution, Caution, Caution there. If you are not careful, “le plunjour” will detect another nefariously hidden conspiracy to connect with his web-works of crypto-conspiracies. Then we will never hear the end of “I told you so”. /s
Cantor is another Rethug Whiner. They still are under the impression that their jobs in terms of serving the American People is to do anything to stop the democrats from actually accomplishing something. I think Obama’s remark to them yesterday of “I won” is an indication that they should just suck it up and get out of the way. They can stick pins in their Obama voodoo dolls all they want to, but they are not showing any leadership on this one.
Just give a tax break that will solve everything
Think that one has been photo-copied, well beyond its use by date.
OK….time to pick up the coffee cups and drag a chair upstairs……
