December in April

Nealey and I thoroughly enjoyed over an hour and a half of Decemberists last night. They were great. Very tight, very enjoyable, very entertaining. I was really happy that they played a bunch of their older stuff, not just stuff off of Crane Wife. Included were: Billy Liar, Sixteen Military Wives, Mariner's Revenge Song, The Tain, The Island, Yankee Bayonet, O Valencia, The Perfect Crime 2, Shankill Butchers, The Crane Wife 1, and others. On Yankee Bayonet, the lead singer of My Brightest Diamond sang the woman's part. It was a lot of fun.

Get into Couch

Here is the new couch Nealey and I just got. It was a lot easier to buy it than to get it up three flights of stairs.
