I completely forgot about this, and it’s almost not worth having its own post, but the fan-run Decemberists purevolume site got updated with some new tunes a while back. The three new songs are: Like a Lion, The Kingdom of Spain, and Human Behavior (a Bjork cover). Check it out, homeslice: link

Jealous Butcher to release the Picaresqueties EP

Bonus MP3: The Decemberists – The Bandit Queen
All this talk about Picaresqueties made me want to upload this track from one of the Decemberists’ vaguely recent radio appearances. I think this was back when The Bandit Queen was supposed to be on Picaresque (it was lated deemed “too silly”) It’s a good enough song in its own right, and I think it would have stood up nicely to the other songs on the album. Howver, we’ll have to wait a little while to hear the finalized version.
