• Today In Music News: Fleet Foxes Like To Download, Panic Hits Voodoo Fest, Reznor Leaves Touring

  Your daily dose of national music news for Monday, June 15, 2009... Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknhold used to be an illegal music downloader. But he thinks it helped him make the music he and other bands are making today, so it's cool. The New Orleans Voodoo Festival has added touring monsters Widespread Panic as this year's headliner. Trent Reznor told the crowd at Bonnaroo this weekend that he's done touring. He said he'll continue to make music, he just won't tour.
