They can play outside my tent every morning, the effects of their music will overpower the waking effect of the early morning sun
Have you seen them live?
I have. At the Ryman. I understand the ZZZZZzzzzzz. I really do. On CD it does seem slow and sleep inducing. But live they gave one hell of a fun show. I stood up and danced for most of it.
Nah, I don't really dislike FF that much but I've always just felt that they are just My Morning Jacket with the boring knob up to 11. I know the vocals are the only similar aspect but it's all I hear. And Bon Iver is just better songwriting, IMO, so I dont find him boring. In all honesty I'd probably hang in the back for Fleet Foxes if they played and I didn't have any conflicts.

I haven't seen them live and probably never will, they are just not a band I'm willing to cough up $35-55 for which is what the tickets cost when they came to Tucson and for the upcoming show in Phoenix. To me 75% of their songs are a bad rip-off of CSN without Y. Its all just a little too perfect, I want a little chaos in my music even if it is quite folk stuff. Now if some Neil like figure joined up with them and taught them to not be so concerned with perfect tuning and harmony and be more concerned with pumping emotion into their songs then I would be interested in seeing them.
By the way Bon Iver gets the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzs too
Ya he has a nice voice and they all play their instruments well but I have no emotional connection or response at all. This is generally my response to all so called "indie-folk"

I like them a lot, but not enough to spend $52 to see them in Chicago, plus all the money for gas and parking. Probably the biggest reason I want them at Roo so bad next year cause it's the only real chance I'd have of seeing them.
Also, I get the whole "different strokes" thing and yada yada yada, but I'll be damned if this is boring:
No chills over here either, unfortunately. They're definitely not bad - but they've just never fully clicked for me. This is another band that should have been on my list over in the 'should but don't' thread. I don't dislike them, per se - I even have a handful of songs by them on my computer that I enjoy - but I really don't see how they get the kind of hype that they do.

I'm not generally huge on the whole indie-folk thing, either. I get it, and they're generally talented musicians, but it's not really my thing. Fleet Foxes, on the other hand, most definitely IS my thing. I saw them at Pitchfork after trying hard to for many years, and they killed it. I like their first album a lot better, so I was glad the show was about half and half as far as albums go.
