We've already seen Ben Gibbard and Peter Buck perform some R.E.M. together, but now watch what happens when The Decemberists' Colin Meloy is added to the fold. Meloy recently tweeted this clip of the trio performing "You Are the Everything, writing, "Here’s me, @gibbstack and Peter Buck doing You Are The Everything while my 14-year-old self FREAKS THE FUCK OUT." The origin of this performance is not noted in the video, though it appears to be taken from a benefit concert in Portland, Oregon earlier this week.
Hace un tiempo, el cantante de The Decemberists , el también escritor Colin Meloy , comentó en Twitter que la banda iba a aparecer en un capítulo del programa de televisión Los Simpsons . Finalmente el episodio que los tendrá como invitados especiales será estrenado en los Estados Unidos esta noche. Por un lado, el capítulo trata sobre la llegada a Springfield de un matrimonio de Portland con un hijo pretencioso y, por otro, de la [...]
The Salt Lake Tribune interviews Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy about his new book, Under Wildwood , a sequel to Wildwood . What of the critics who snarked at elements of the first book, Wildwood , who complained that it was "too Portland," with its recycling bins, bikes and cork flooring? I was only trying to create as authentic of a world as I could. That’s the world Portlanders live in. In that it’s set in Portland, it’s [...]
The Decemberists' singer returns with another beautifully illustrated young-adult fantasy.

Traditional death ballads aren't a dime a dozen on the modern papcharts, but they're a recognizable form among the folkways. Most deal frankly with unrequited and/or unequal love and its aftereffects, with gruesome detail and haunted characters; most go so far as to show the callousness of humankind through ghosts and body parts transformed, though history suggests that such lascivious imagery was more commonplace in the Puritan and previous worlds, where the funerial was a family affair, life lessons were taught and learned through song, pining could kill, and death in its stark bodily form was an everpresent [...]

This sprawling 20-track live album from Colin Meloy’s clan acts as both a robust performance souvenir and an oblique career summary, with largely endearing results.
Portland folk rockers live in concert performances.
Colin Meloy, frontman for indie folk-rock group, The Decemberists, released his debut novel last year. It is the first book in his Wildwood Trilogy that he has created with the mother of his child, award-winning illustrator Carson Ellis. It is a very impressive, if somewhat predictable, first novel from an artist who has already made his name as a musician first. Meloy created a new and exciting world with Wildwood, one that I will be happy to venture through again. I could do without the whole "machines are bad/nature is good" lesson that was thrown in there a couple times. [...]

Tweet You don’t see many bands with roots in traditional folk music making much of a stir these days. Even less often will you see them on major record labels with releases debuting at Billboard #1. If it isn’t Mumford & Sons that have sprung to mind by now, odds are worth betting it’s The Decemberists . Since the millennium, they have been bringing us their rock-infused brand of reminiscent folk music and performances in a fashion all their own. [...]
