The Decemberists: The Hazards of Love
photo: Autumn DeWilde   Are The Decemberists able to deliver again? The Portland band upped the ante with The Crane Wife, a album that was nearly smothered to death with praise by every music publication on planet Earth.

Bonnaroo 09 Lineup Announced
Following the rather lackluster Coachella announcement last week, comes Bonnaroo’s initial lineup for 2009.  At first glance, it’s quite the stellar lineup of bands, with the one glaring addition that jumped out at me being the Beastie Boys!  The one time I attempted to see them live was back in 2000, when they were set to tour with Rage Against the Machine, but was...

Courageous story-tellers in a time...
Monday's Leaky Faucet
Who: The Decemberists Title: The Hazards of Love Release Date: March 24th Label: Capitol Records Thoughts: I suppose it shouldn’t be surprising that The Decemberists would try and create a rock opera at some point in their career.
