News NPR Rides on Blind Pilot's Handlebars

This is a terrible screen capture. Sorry.
With a 7 minute-plus interview this morning, NPR's Morning Edition is the latest media outlet to fawn all over Portland's Blind Pilot. In addition to the piece—which was titled "Hugging the Highway" (How adorable!)—they also posted a couple live videos as well. It's nice to see a deserving band get attention like this, plus it also showcases NPR's improved musical coverage, which has occurred on both a local, and national, level.
Oh sure, a band tours by bicycle and gets all this press, meanwhile my band's rollerblade tour is ignored by the media and their blatant two wheel bias.
