They are my favourite band though, I just love the nerdiness.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00286764670162439668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-91237555553878099282008-09-21T16:20:00.000+01:002008-09-21T16:20:00.000+01:00Japanther--Over on the Guardian top 1000 albums bl...Japanther--Over on the Guardian top 1000 albums blog they picked Her Majesty the Decemberists, and it does have some good songs (Red Right Ankle is a standout for me) But if I had one complaint about the Decemberists, it's that sometimes they're a bit precious and sometimes they seem like they're trying to sound British, which they ain't, and that album has a few tracks that head that way for me. I really like Castaways and Cutouts, especially July July, Grace Cathedral Hill, and Clementine (as Can be heard above). Crane Wife and Picaresque good as well.steenbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870117999742670522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-27117589590519506882008-09-20T21:20:00.000+01:002008-09-20T21:20:00.000+01:00Thanks, both.

Japanther, I've only got Picaresque and The Crane Wife for the Decemberists, although I listen to the latter more often.GarethIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049307897945686705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-90441460090933899722008-09-20T06:05:00.000+01:002008-09-20T06:05:00.000+01:00Nice playlist.
