i don't know what i have done

pictures from our big sur trip this weekend are forthcoming and while novel designs will be proud to present said photos of fleet foxes putting on a truly astounding show at the big sur spirit garden (seriously, best show of the year, topping even g. bear with la phil) i can't stop listening to the version of tiger mountain peasant song these two swedish kids belt out. what's incredible is not only do they nail every single note and two part harmony, but they manage to make some subtle melodic changes and reinvent the song as their own. to me this is exemplary of what a cover should be: an homage with a distinctly personal touch. i will listen to anything these "unga svenskar" contribute their talents to. enjoy.
