Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

Sorry to be doing this again but there is another Celtics game on tonight. So I will quickly just interject one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. This is The Decemberists at their best with a song that really portrays the sound that they have built for themselves over the years, really cementing themselves in the indie/folk rock world.

Here is the amazing love story of "O Valencia!"

My heart just skipped a beat

So as I was doing just a little poking around for my last post about Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck's new song "Heaven Can Wait" I stumbled upon another fantastic song.

To back-track a little and be a bit more specific, I was looking in to the duet that Lou Reed/Mo Tucker had going on "I'm Sticking With You", the Velvet Underground song (I won't lie, while I am a big VU fan, I heard this particular song first in Juno, I'm a wee-bit embarrassed) What I managed to find through the majesty of the world wide interwebs was another cover of "I'm Sticking With You" done by one of my all time favorite bands, The Decemberists. In this version Colin Meloy/Jenny Conolee duet for a version which, in my humble opinion, rivals the original. Needless to say, the lyrics are cute, far from a masterpiece, but the song is good.
