[Watch] Fleet Foxes & Joanna Newsom on Austin City Limits

We got to see Win Butler and Arcade Fire show why everyone loves them so much not too long ago when they performed on Austin City Limits. This weekend Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom were the guests of honour and brought along some tantalising performances. Fleet Foxes performed some tracks off of their latest LP Helplessness Blues as well as a few older tracks from the self titled LP, "Your Protector" and "Blue Ridge Mountains" both make an appearance. Joanna Newsom also played a number of tracks, three to precise. Two from Have One On Me and album opener from The Milk-Eyed Mender. Watch the show at the top of the page.

[Listen] Fleet Foxes - "Dancing On My Own" (Robyn Cover)

Well isn't this a delight for the ears. It's always nice to see bands/artists you like giving the old doff of the cap to a fellow performer in the form of a great sounding cover (there are the occasional howlers too but we'll turn a blind eye to those). Recently band Fleet Foxes covered Robyn's "Dancing On My own" and the results are pretty damn impressive. See what you make of their take on the song below. (Via Fleet Foxes Sing)

UPDATE: Yes, we realized we goofed. This song was recorded by a band that covers songs in a Fleet Foxes style. It's not the actual band. Whoops...
