Fleet Foxes remixed

Joe writes: I prefer F-Block's remix of Helplessness Blues to the original. Others may disagree.

Crosby, Stills and Nash + The Band

Phil writes: I bought the Fleet Foxes album. Although they have a great sound, I don't think their songs are quite there yet. They have been compared to CSN and The Band, amongst others, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to post a couple of my favourite tracks from these two prolific sources of great music.
