I expect you think that I should be haunted

Today's sole redeeming feature has been the discovery of the Decemberists' "The Rake's Song," a reasonably hard-rocking murder ballad. The circumstances of its album's conception—inspired by Anne Briggs, going to feature Robyn Hitchcock—also make me happy, but right now not as much as singing headbangingly about infanticide.

Wow. That song is awesome. Such a wonderful way to start the day. (Dude, I sat here grinning. Perhaps I need help.)

I've spent a lot of the past three days singing Coil's "Ostia (The Death of Pasolini)" around the house and outside, okay? Grinning to a murder ballad is quite safe and sane.

ps are you going to go to the Decemberists concert on 6/9 (I kind of hate the Bank of America Pavilion, but I really want to see them in concert in light of their awesome new song so...)? My friend Jen is going to try to get tickets tomorrow-- if you don't have tickets yet we could probably snag a couple for you...
