P sure you don't need permission to cover a song live, you just can't record and release it for profit. I think he's funny. He plays to his brand but he's an entertainer, that's how they pay the bills.

 

Obviously live covers are commonplace, but what if it's on a television show that is using it to profit? Seems like a loophole that would need to be closed.

 

Read somewhere they would have required permission from his publisher. Guessing he would pick up some royalties too.

First post here so should probably mention I Love You, Honeybear is a top five record of mine for the 2010s so far.

 

You might be right about that. Maybe it's up to the label and not Tilman personally

 

fjm sure knows how to #craft that #brand

 

That cover did suck though.

 

he sucks too tho so that is also #on#brand

 

I know artist comparing is always stupid and arbitrary, but for whatever reason, more than any others, people holding up Fleet Foxes and FJM as similar, associated acts in rivalry with one another are the dumbest people. I have a handful of acquaintances who don't listen to FF because "FJM is better," as if Josh ever had creative input in that group. Been hearing it an especially large amount lately, what with FF returning and FJM remaining in the news.

 

Truly meaningless comparisons.

 

His music is great, honestly I don't really care about his persona. He's funny usually, like someone else said his job is to be an entertainer and I'm usually entertained by his schtick, but mostly by his music.

 

Are we in year 3 of you jumping into FJM threads to shit on him? Haha

 

Yeah this shit gets annoying. Robin is to FF as JV is to Bon Iver. Tillman added a pretty perfect voice in an already perfect harmony when they played live and on Helplessness Blues but he had nothing to do with the writing process.

I'd probably place FF somewhere in my top 10 of favorite bands ever but I could never pick between the two.

 

anyone see FJM arguing with people at length on facebook? kinda funny. his replies are like reading a college essay of someone who is trying really hard to satisfy the word count.
