The newest one is the only one I had time to download whenever I had access to a network where torrents flow like water and honey.

I'm not sure if enjoy bell woods is trolling for the fuck of it or to specifically say my music taste sucks, so this is the last post I'm going to make about it.

If you ever get the chance to see them live, they put on a great show. I saw them perform at a little church in Portand, OR once, the place was full of candles and probably only 50 other people inside, such a great show.

The Mariner's Revenge Song is done with costumes and cardboard cut outs. The Tain done live in it's entirety is pretty damn awesome, too.

He's doing it for two reasons:

1) To once again emphasize that he likes only the most super awesome music that NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF.  He's so indie he listens to SHIT THAT HASN'T EVEN BEEN WRITTEN YET.  And

2) He's a whiny little bitch.

Actually, several of my favorite bands are signed to major record labels and have sizable fanbases. That's not true. What on Earth are you talking about?

Let me put it in english- you are a pretentious little bitch with self confidence issues.  Everyone other than TVC (who just wants to bugger you) will be happy when you slither back to OA.  Now sod off.

Yeah pick up Picaresque, and don't listen to enjoy bell woods, as I've never heard him say anything close to interesting.  It I want pretentious music fans I can at least find one that can write.

Her Majesty is their best record.  Picaresque and Crane Wife both have some awesome songs, but I think Her Majesty's got the most.

I like the Decemberists but I can't listen to them too much in a short period.  I like Colin Meloy's voice, but if you listen to a lot of it in a short duration, it really emphasizes how monotonous his tone is.  And once your head is wrapped around the concept of monotony, you realize that all the Decemberists songs are mid tempo, with not a whole lot of variety.  Still, I like them a lot and they are awesome live.  I am there day 1 for the record releases. . .I just might be taking a break after day 10 or so.

I agree with this. I listened to all their stuff right away when I first discovered them, but now I can't listen to more than one song of theirs in a row.

I think I've liked Her Majesty the best, but my absolute favorite fuckign song by them is the Mariner's Revenge song.  So fucking awesome.  Best 7 plus minutes of folklore music evar.

Not really...but still awesome!

edit:

We are two mariners
Our ships' sole survivors
In this belly of a whale

Its ribs our ceiling beams
Its guts our carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill

You may not remember me
I was a child of three
And you, a lad of eighteen

But I remember you
And I will relate to you
How our histories interweave

At the time you were
A rake and a roustabout
Spending all your money
On the whores and hounds
Oh Ohhhhh

You had a charming air
All cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found so sweet

And so she took you in
Her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul disease

As time wore on you proved
A debt-ridden drunken mess
Leaving my mother
A poor consumptive wretch
Oh Ohhhhh

And then you disappeared
Your gambling arrears
The only thing you left behind

And then the magistrate
Reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost her mind

Then one day, in spring
My dear sweet mother died
But before she did
I took her hand as she, dying, cried:
Oh Ohhhhh

"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave
