What’s Live

Before I go on, I wanted to share a track I happened upon — “The Culling of the Fold,” which is a Decemberists album track in some places (like Tower Records) and not others (like iTunes). Since it is NOT listed on the album at Amazon, I don’t know if it was a presale track or some kind of exclusive track or what, but some of you may not have it. It’s creepy and gross, á la “Murder Ballads,” so give it a try even if you’re meh on the Decemberists — everyone likes a good murder song, right?

EZarchive is having a freakout, of course, so here it is on Yousendit — The Decemberists – The Culling of the Fold [eta: reposted here]. Don’t say I never did anything for you.

And now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast.

After hearing about the Bishop Allen tour, I knew I had to update my What’s Live. October and November are awesome months, but I’m old and I can’t go to concerts on a night when I have to get up at Bloody Early Hour to take my kid to kindergarten. So Bishop Allen is out, and so is Ray Lamontagne, and Rocky, and … this is depressing me. Kindergarten, you have cramped my style!!
