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.

Thank you kindly!
I'm out right now, so it'll be a while afore I may listen to this, but any song with that genealogy has got to be worth the hearing. ;-)

I hope there's more redeeming features to today.

It's worth hearing. I'm hoping the rest of the album lives up to its backstory.

I'll join my hopes to yours, then.
