Hey matt, do you like any freak folk artists, or taken any interest whatsoever in this resurgence of 'folk' music in the U.S?

    Aside from dabbling with Animal Collective, not so much. I tend to not get into "folk" as a genre too much, but I like a lot of stuff that uses the idiom of actual folk music (traditional music) --Steve Earle, Todd Snider, Dave Alvin, Dan Zanes, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and from the generation before that John Prine, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zant . . . but honestly I don't get exposed to nearly as much new stuff as I once did, so I'm sure I'm missing out on quite a lot.
