"This popular band we've produced and the whole world loves? I wholeheartedly support it!"

To fulfill the wish of Line Out commenter ndrwmtsn, I post the sentence in the subject line.

And seriously, let me repeat, deep congrats to Fleet Foxes and Sub Pop and Phil Ek for writing, creating, and releasing a record that thrilled the shit out of people all over the world and will, for many music fans, be the record to remember 2008 by.

(Also, the perverse flipside to nrdwmstn's claim that not enough folks are willing to admit to enjoying Fleet Foxes is the fact that Fleet Foxes are immensely enjoyable. Your sulky teenaged niece will love them, your Dylan-loving dad will love them (if he isn't overly bugged by the too-diffuse ren-faire lyrics), and if you're looking for an easy way to support local businesses and local artists this holiday season, you could very well buy a copy of Fleet Foxes for every single person on your shopping list.)

I don't know, I kinda think the lead singer sounds like Kermit the Frog. I guess if I'm supposed to like them I could, but won't get crazy like nrd from above.
