The Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Be Listening To The DecemberistsAt 3:40 PMby: Nana

#5.) The Decemberists are from the UK.

#4.) Their new album, Picaresque means:

• Of or involving clever rogues or adventurers.
• Of or relating to a genre of usually satiric prose fiction originating in Spain and depicting in realistic, often humourous detail the adventures of a roguish hero of low social degree living by his or her wits in a corrupt society.

I fancy myself a rogue.

#3.) Their songs are about trysts and debauchery: taking people in fields to play with their naughty bits. You feel like you're listening to some sort of folk songs from the 1700 or 1800s or something. It's an awesome sound. Plus, with songs called "Eli, the Barrow Boy" and "The Mariner's Revenge Song", you just can't go wrong.

#2.) Their first single "The Engine Driver" is about a guy who drives an engine (it's a bit more complex than that, but whatever).

#1.) You can get free songs (legally) here and here.

(two weeks of doing this, and both of the bands I'm talking about are on Abercrombie and Fitch's website. I'll just say right now that I'm not getting paid for any of this. To prove it, I'll say that Abercrombie are one step removed from the devil... like the devil's neighbour, or gardener or something.)
