Today's Quick Mention: Don't forget to
head downtown tonight for a little pre-Fun Fun Fun
Fest ... fun. There's quite a few free shows,
which can all be found at
Showlist Austin.
I'll be floating back and forth between Club Deville
and the Mohawk. Can't wait to the Helio
Sequence and Dana Falconberry.
The Decemberists have long been a band I've gone
back and forth on. There are times I can't get
enough, and there are probably equal moments when
all I really want to do is run away. It's
weird. I know. With all of that being
said, I'm eager to see how the new LP will play out.
The King Is Dead is due out January 18 on
Capitol Records. Enjoy.
:The
Decemberists - Down By The Water:
Colin Meloy previously mentioned that REM is who the new
album is largely influenced by, and you can definitely hear
that in this first single. In some ways, I suppose the
Decemberists always had a fair helping of semi-Americana pop
in their sound, but it's definitely more at the forefront
here. I like it. Does that mean I'll be able to
love an entire full lengths worth of it? We'll see.
