Meh. They put on a free concert as a draw for an Obama visit to Portland during the 2008 campaign. I’ll pass.
Look up “Decemberists” in relation to 1917 Russia.
Ugh, hipster music. Do not want.
I like a lot of the Decemberists stuff. On the Bus Mall I thought was a great alt rock song. And January Hymn on their last album is a really nice tune.
It’s pretty obvious just from sampling lead singer Meloy’s twitter account that he’s a pretty standard leftish, Obama supporter. But if I eradicated all the music from my playlist who had different political views to mine I’d pretty much be left with Alice Cooper.
