Good nerd rock. Saw them this summer @ Lollapalooza. It was nice but I would much prefer them in a small venue.

Great stuff.
I like this album, but really dig the concept album/song "The Tain."

Beautifully mellow and harmonious lyrics. Good crescendo, but not as exuberant a peak as I like in songs that build like this one.

First time I ever heard the Decemberists was live at the Charlottesville Pavillion. They played the whole "Hazards of Love" album for the first set. I've been hooked ever since!

at least his voice is distintive (Dylan, Corgan, etc etc) i love to hear something different instead of some pitch perfect American Idol |

So far this has pretty much been a "bring your MP3 player to work" kind of a day.

I don't mind the attitude. I'd like this song but for the vocals going well off pitch frequently in the verses. Makes me grit my teeth. |

They certainly do ooze pretentiousness (is that a word?). But, whoa, they are writing some incredible music (IMO). I just got to Hazards of Love because it was at the bottom of a pile. Truly amazing stuff I think.

Well, as Cicero said: "De gustibus non est disputandum" (There's no accounting for taste). Go figure!  |

The beginning of this song sounds like the Home Depot jingle. (It's not, is it?) I'm having a hard time getting past that.

Dear Bill,
Please have this followed by Marianne Faithfull's version. It has been sitting in the LRC waiting chamber for far to long. I know you like (obscure) covers. This would be the one to go with it.
Warm Regards
