YES! I heard it this morning in the studio. It was a wonderful way to start my day. Hope you all are having a wonderful time! *a
Heard you guys for the first time this morning on npr and I thought you were fantastic! Amazing! Wonderful! When are you playing in New York again?!
YOU GUYS ARE AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!! YOUR MUSIC IS GREAT. I HEARD YOU ON NPR AND NOW IM ADDICTED. I HOPE TO SEE YOU ON SATURDAY AT SPACELAND.
Hey guys. I heard you yesterday on NPR. You have a sound that mixes between Thom Yorke and Matt Costa – but better! Phenomenal sound and lyrics. Thanks for the music on MySpace.

Great interview! Thanks to NPR and you for giving me a great way to learn about you & your music.
I heard your interview on NPR, and was so intrigued that I looked up your site and facebook info…only to learn you’re going to be in my town tomorrow night!! Awesome synchronicity.
The last time something like this happened was when I saw a band in Eugene at the farmer’s market called the Kitchen Syncopators. There was a guitarist accompanied by this guy w ith the coolest instrument ever–a cheese grater with a spoon! When I got sick treesitting I ended up crashing somewhere that he was renting a guesthouse or shed or something from. I was talking about how great the band was and there he was. So surreal.
Listened to your story on NPR the other day and scribbled your name on a bank deposit slip. I was very caught by your story of how your wrote music in the abanded building that’s roof got taken away in a storm. Keep up the wonderful stories. Our lives are full of them.
Never heard of you guys before, but loved the NPR interview. You were all so personable with fun stories and the music is great!
Thanks for exposing me to these great musicians. I’m off to buy their CD.
I heard this and i thought it was so cool! i was thinking about it all day as soon as i got home i bought you’re album you guys are really good.
Hi guys,
I heard this on the radio the other morning. I hadn’t heard of Blind Pilot before, but when I heard your music and your story, I was instantly a fan. It was a real inspiration too. I just started in a new band last night with similar instrumentation, and when I told the other guys about Blind Pilot, they were stoked. You’ve got a fantastic sound. Keep it up!
Hey, heard you guys on NPR…you guys sound great! Keep biking!
Hi! I head about you guys when I went home to Astoria last winter. There is a bar in Seoul that plays your music all the time! Safe travels.
I loved the segment on NPR! It told a great story of the band, and played portions of songs that really grabbed my attention. Thank you for sharing on NPR, and I hope it brings you much success!
Caught the NPR spot the other day, and I just wanted to say, right on! Or better, ride on.
The samples on NPR really sounded awe-inspiring, infused with that special something, soul real. I’m looking forward to seeing y’all live.
Until then, happy trails and safe travels.
I heard you guys on NPR–bought the album on ITunes later that day…you are all now my official new love child
When are you coming to Boston?!
I came to know you thanks to NPR.
Just heard your live show at SXSW. Awesome!
Keep on the good work, guys.
PS We need more people by byke, and less people by car!!!

Just got your CD and LOVED it! I wish you the best of success – you have the talent. My envelope had a drop of Oregon Pinot….next order…just put in the whole bottle!
Happy trails to you!
As an Arizona resident this was my first introduction to you guys and I promptly bought the album off iTunes that evening. Thanks for the memories!
My mom called me in a frenzy after listening to you guys on NPR . She is a fanatic about her NPR, and takes it religiously.
She knew I would like your sound, and sent me some money insisting that I buy your music (she said she thought you may need it after the cute story about you guys biking to your shows).
I can’t wait for you to come to Brooklyn!
what a great sound! I am so glad to have heard you on NPR…. my husband is a huge fan too! Hope to see you in NYC area.
This is how I discovered you guys. I’m totally in love. I loved the story about how you biked down the california coast. A co-worker of mine just asked me the other day, “have you heard of blind pilot– they’re awesome”, and after the NPR story I could say that I had heard of you and that you ARE awesome.
keep it up guys. I’ll buy every album you put out. what a refreshing sound!
Hey there, I found out about you guys on this show. I listen to it online every now and then… just bought your record thru amazone.com i think. Great sound guys! Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
Great interview! Thanks to NPR and you for giving me a great way to learn about you & your music.
