NPR votes yes on bearded musicians!


From All Songs Considered on NPR, we have more confirmation that beards are taking over. A quote from the description of their year end roundtable discussion of the best albums of the year: "It was an impressively bearded year — a year when many bands seemed to retreat to the woods, literally and figuratively, to make quieter, more personal recordings." To hear them talk about Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Blitzen Trapper, and other beards in music, listen to the program at npr.org.

I saw Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes at Lollapalooza last year! Front row!

Fleet Foxes made beard jokes the entire time...so wonderful.
