The Decemberists — California One / Youth and Beauty Brigade
Castaways and Cutouts has never been one of my favorite albums, but I’ve recently had a new appreciation for this song. It’s on my list of would-love-to-hear-them-play-this-live songs, along with Crane Wife 1, 2 & 3.

The Decemberists — Row Jimmy
And apparently it’s a Grateful Dead cover. I don’t think I could name one song of theirs so… I learned something new today! That may be the only positive statement I can make about this morning. Monday again, is it?

Colin Meloy — The Bachelor and the Bride
You know how on American Idol when the judges really like one of the contestants, they’ll say that he/she could sing the phonebook & it would still be amazing? (They do, you can take my word for it.)
I have a sneaking suspicion that Colin Meloy really could sing the phonebook and I would enjoy it.
Happy Thursday Feels Like Friday!
The Decemberists — January Hymn
This fortuitously came up on my drive into work today, & I thought it was fitting, given the snow I left behind in Blacksburg and the dusting we got here. Which is almost all melted, apart (of course) from the bit that dusted on my car, then slightly melted and refroze, leaving this sheet of snow-ice that I had to scrape off this AM.
Don’t mind me, i’m just going to go listen to The King is Dead now. And then probably Long Live the King. Please come back to Raleigh soon, y’all.
The Decemberists — Won’t Want for Love (Margaret in the Taiga)
I was definitely not ready for yesterday to be Monday. Let’s just pretend the week starts today, shall we? True story: I own enough Decemberists to listen to them exclusively during my 5+ hour drive back on Sunday, & not be finished listening to it all. So I just let my iPod continue the playlist & have also listened to all Decemberists all the time during my drive into work both yesterday & today. And probably tomorrow.
The Decemberists — Won’t Want for Love
Good Morning Music! I totally thought today was Friday when I woke up this morning. I was ready to buy Darius Rucker tickets! Which will be on sale…. tomorrow. But that’s good, I have a good bit of work left on Operation: Clean ALL the Things in preparation for my family visiting this weekend. Still got one more day.
Better Than Ezra — Recognize
A little late with my Good Morning today, hope yours has been productive so far too! (This was not my first choice of song; however, The Decemberists’ Perfect Crime #2 was “too large.” Boo, Tumblr.)
