God knows, we love NPR, especially All Songs Considered. So it's pretty great to see the Flobots getting a nod from that show as one of this year's Overlooked Gems. Wait... what? Overlooked? Really? Not sure how Bob Boylan and company managed to miss the Flobots. "Overlooked" isn't exactly a term we'd use to describe the act at this point.

Evidently not, it turns out. -- Dave Herrera
