I feel like I'm going to be hearing this song every day for the rest of my life.  I don't even hate the Decemberists (and I still like their old stuff a good deal), but PLEASE make it stop...

Peter Buck of R.E.M. is playing guitar on this track (and plays on 2 others on the album).

Is this album any more positive than their previous two?... let me restate... all albums are happier than their previous two.  Is this a happy/positive album?

6 plays in the last 30 days?  Why can't we hear each song only once month.

Going to see them at the Ryman here in Nashville (where else would the Ryman Auditorium be).  I post apres-show and enumerate the cutters, emos and southern women with Too Much Rouge and Big Hairdos ...

I like the whole album. Granted, it did get a bit over played for awhile after it was released. That seems to have settled down. I'm always happy to hear a track from this band.

Not clinically depressed, but am entitled to an opinion. On a forum where everyone is expressing their individual feelings about the  songs, it is possible that not everyone will agree with your particular tastes. Just sayin'.

the beginning notes always make me think it's going to be a replacements song.

then i hear what it really is.

then i hit the PSD.

these guys get on my nerves, bigtime.

Trying to rest my ears from the headphones is proving impossible...  Van Morrison, "Goodnight Moon" and now the Decemberists.  The "PSD" button is getting really lonely...

Tired of the banjo picking type of "alt bands" now.  It's the new grunge of this era. The Bandwagon needs to hit the end of the trail.
