Fleet Foxes. Letterman. Tonight.
Submitted by imaginary stella on August 4, 2008.
Surely another sign that Fleet Foxes' rocket to stardom hasn't let up just yet: The band will perform on Letterman tonight. Set your preferred method of recording television -- or stay up late -- to catch the action.
My guy told me that the Foxes will play "Blue Ridge Mountains." I don't know how he knows that. Guess I'll need to tune in to see if he's right!

The second song they played was so stunningly beautiful that I jumped online to find out more.... I've never heard of this group before. Their harmonies were divine!
Can anyone tell me the name of the second song?

So, my guy was right! Here's the vid of the "Blue Ridge Mountains" performance:

Gorgeous, as always!
I missed the 2nd song. I'll have to search for that.

I'm pretty sure they didn't play two songs...
They played "Blue Ridge Mountains", finished, Letterman came out to shake their hands, and then the show ended...

Yeah, that's what I saw on YouTube, too.
@ Tivius, tell us what you saw! Maybe you have a secret portal to the Foxes, ala "Being John Malcovich"? :)

Their songs are often kind of divided and sound like two. "Blue Ridge Mountains" does that less so than others (like Mykonos), but my guess is that Tivius perked up at the chorus, which kicks in a little less than about halfway through the clip. (shivering forest/where the quivering dog rests, etc.) It really is beautiful.
