MP3 of the Week
One of The Gotham Gal's favorite records of 2005 was Picaresque by The Decemberists. We must have listened to that record 100 times!
So we were excited to get a pre-release listen to their new record The Crane Wife which will be out on Oct 3rd, just in time for The Gotham Gal's birthday.
We've only listened a couple times, but we've already fallen in love with this song, called Sons and Daughters, which is the closing track on the record.

Thanks for the link, I've been digging that song all week! "Sons and Daughters" seems more like a traditional Decemberists song compared to some of the other early release tracks off The Crane Wife, like "When the War Came".

Fred - I think you might enjoy this (since we apparently share some taste in music)

I've been to their concert yesterday and I have to say I was very impressed. Never heard of them before but I started liking them real fast ;)
perhaps something of interest - their music is licensed under CC (attribution, non-commercial, share alike)
