Decemberists and Clearlake

[skonster]

I missed them last time due to Belle and Sebastian, but am actually looking forward to the show. And the pantaloon comment was all I could come up with.  Something could be made of them singing about chimblysweeps as well - I like them but some of the lyrics are a bit needlessly obscure/archaic.

 I will make you a DVD. Dont mess it up this time   :p  .
 
 Oh and dont bring your chatty friends   :p  

I'm solo on this, so if there's chatting, it's me with myself, and then you can (and should) openly mock me.
 
 I'll have a coupla blank DVDs with me in exchange...thanks.

Myla's the author of "Bee Season," a widely acclaimed novel about spelling bees.  She's originally from Laurel, MD.

 I would've thought a book on that subject would have an author by the name of "Dong Chin" or something.

I am gettting really excited.......
 
 The decemberists were near perfect last time. I hope they play July July or legionnaires lament this time. I think apology song could be good too.....
 
 
 Anybody want any CDs burning?

[nkotb]

I'll be in attendance as well.

thoughts? i thought the first half was much better. definite west coast sound, not anything you'd hear on the east coast (but perhaps that a topic of discussion?)
 
 that "oompah oompah" song that reminded me of a cross between a german oompah band and the song that the midgets dance to in willy wonka was painful.
 
 how long did they end up laying for? my ride had to leave after an hour so i missed the ending.

I thought it was a good, tight show... though I have to agree that I'm not sure about their strategy of putting all the slow (translation: sleepy, especially for 11:30 on a Tuesday!) songs in one part of the show.
 
 The Decemberists have a They Might Be Giants- like sound at a time, what with their goofy lyrics and accordian.  It's nice that they have a sense of humor about things, though.
 
 They're great artists, though, and I think "Red Right Ankle" really showed what the singer had in him.  Though they need to take British Sea Power's cue and get an on-stage owl.  (a must.)
 
 I liked Clearlake (go Wisconsin!) and thought they need a little work but have great potential.
