Saw the Decemberists last night, not too shabby.

Summer and I saw them last year and couldn't believe how powerful his voice was. I did not expect to like them as much as I do.
Yeah, I could see where they could be an acquired taste.
Their first set was a little weak but overall i was pleased.
Colin has a very strong voice and a great stage presence.
They have such a varied fan base. Valerie Plame is stuck in my head lol!
they are a great band, i just have trouble listening to them after i drove five hours to boston and the lead singer was to "stressed" to do the concert.
