I'm pretty much a gushing Decemberists fan through and through, sans most of The Hazards of Love. The Crane Wife might be one of my all-time favorite albums. But anyway, yes the new album is a big step back to the basics and I think it sounds great. Nothing piratey about it haha

Thank god.

No it's definitely not piratey, but after one listen, it's a little boring for me right now. But I'll give it its due process.

Are we talking piratey, or piracy?

A couple chunes take things back to the "Red Right Ankle" sound, which absolutely warms my heart haha

So this year is looking pretty damn amazing. The thought of having a record from Burial, Madvillain, Radiohead, Portishead and The Avalanches seems too good to be true. It probably is, but the thought is mind blowing.

The Tain.

And the 6th song on 5 songs will always have a piece of my heart.

but the Fancy Pirate thing has been getting old ever since the second time I heard 'A Cautionary Song'.

Decembarrrrrrrists.

I hate to even tell this story, but I used to have a copy of '5 Songs' that only had the five songs on it. It came in a hand-screened sleeve; I bought it from their website right before Hush reissued that disc. I lost it somewhere along the way, and I hate that.

Still in my collection, though, is one of the first pressings of 'Her Majesty...' on vinyl from Jealous Butcher Records. Original (different) artwork hand-screened by Carson Ellis, full size pull-out poster, lyric sheet and an original short story by Meloy. Hand-numbered edition of 500 copies, with only the first 200 copies being pressed on snow-white vinyl. I have #174.

I'd post pictures but I don't want Peatrick jizzing on his keyboard, and also I am enjoying my morning coffee.

Does that get your dick sucked a lot? Actually I've got a buddy with that same Her Majesty. He's a huge Decemberists fan.

Colin Meloy's from Helena, where I live. My advisor in college was his aunt. And he plays little solo shows here every now and then. But he's not even the most talented in his family - his sister's written two of my favorite novels of the last ten years

Ugh, Maile's prose is so dull.
