The Decemberists: Live in Dallas
Colin Meloy of the Decemberists
The Decemberists and Lavender Diamond came to town last night, playing to a completely sold-out Gypsy Ballroom. Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark deftly navigated the fine line between cute, endearing drunk girl and obnoxious, annoying drunk girl (video). She described her performance as "delicate," probably in an effort to get the people at the bar to shut up. It didn't really work, but she eventually won most of the crowd over with her closing number, "You Broke My Heart."
Apparently, I'm in the minority that feels The Crane Wife isn't the Decemberists' best work (I'm in the Castaways & Cutouts camp.) The band obviously focused on the new record, and while I do enjoy some of the prog-rock leanings ("The Island" was especially awesome live), I find some of it almost unlistenable (we had to go outside during "The Perfect Crime #2"). On the other hand, "The Crane Wife" (all parts) sounded really pretty live, and the selections from Picaresque ("Engine Driver," "We Both Go Down Together") were great. Plus, Colin Meloy is a pretty charismatic geek, so it's hard not to like him regardless of how pretentious you think he is.
(Sidenote: While Petra Haden is no longer in the band (boo!), the Decemberists have enlisted a new requisite hot female violinist/xylophonist/keyboardist for this tour. Anyone know her name?)

Did you say hot? Maybe you had to be there.
yeah, not the best photo. how about "cute"?
I really enjoyed the Decemberists... God, L Diamond sucked!!!! That girl looked like the annoying girl you went to middle school with, performing in a talent show.
Philistines. I totally get it.
Aaaaanyway. In complete agreement on "The Perfect Crime 2" just... urgh. I'm still waiting on my copy of The Crane Wife from HMV online, which I guess is the trouble with cheap CD sites. There's something to be said for piracy really *snort*
Chris your icon is strangely hypnotic.
the new girl is lisa molinaro from talkdemonic. and she is super foxy...
Crane Wife is kind of blah. great live band, though.
if you truly find parts of The Crane Wife unlistenable, how on earth do you manage to listen to 85% of the crap posted on your site?
"we had to go outside during "The Perfect Crime #2")"-- lame.
Indie Mom and I saw the show in L.A. on the 21st. It looks like the stage was as dark at your show as it was at ours. We have a few pics in our review at Speed of Dark. Had to do some doctoring in CorelDraw to get anything out of them.
I'm with you on The Crane Wife. I'm not that impressed, although it came over better in a live show.
I wondered out loud what the L.D. singer takes to relax before a show, and several people near us turned around, grinned and nodded at me. Lovely girl, but spacey!
~alt-gramma~
I'm in the Crane Wife loving camp myself. Perfect Crime 2 isn't as bad as everyone complains it is.
Yeti,
It's worst than people complain about it.
It's the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect, the perfect thing to tide over major label pressures.
While Petra will be missed, from what little I've seen, Lisa does a fine job filling that particular spot.
Petra does get a thanks in the Crane Wife liner notes though.
how many pretentious fucking idiots can read one little blog?
but! but! but!
...but there's COWBELL at the end and ...
<small>I kinda like that part</small>
anon --
how many of those fat chicks did you end up fucking after the show last night?
matt,
good question. but "the perfect crime #2" still sucks.
Hot in my books. patrick should keep his pretentious criticisms to himself.
"look at those pointy knees, she is way below my standards"
i dont like the perfect crime #2, but i do love the rest of the crane wife, especially sons & daughters
The new Decemberists gets two thumbs down in my book. Unlistenable is right.
That singer's "look" sort of reminds me to John Hodgman, who wrote that "Areas of My Expertise" book.
Cool though. Thanks for posting, I love those guys!
Unlistenable?
That's just silly, unless you never liked them in the first place. I could pick out plenty of individual songs that suck the life out of good albums, but as bad as Perfect Crime #2 is, it doesn't ruin things completely.
I thought it was a pretty engaging show, thanks largely to Colin's aforementioned charisma. And though it may sound blasphemous, Ms. Molinaro kinda made me forget about Petra Hayden.
just for the record, by no means do i think the whole album is unlistenable. i think about half of it is really good, a few mediocre songs, then the one unlistenable one.
Right on - that was more in response to zak's comment than to yours.
Garrison pretty much nailed Perfect Crime #2, well, perfectly.
I don't understand how somebody could find that song 'unlistenable'.. Okay, the chorus is very repetetive, but the way people talk about it, you'd expect some screeching noise squall or something.. The instrumental parts are cool, particularly the sneaky little keyboard and bass riffs.
I'm pretty sure that "When the War Came" is also unlistenable. They must have ripped off that riff from the latest Jimmy Eat World.
"Sons and Daughters" is great and "Shankhill Butchers" is alright.
In Tucson, they didn't play "Mariner's Revenge." Have they played it anywhere on this tour?
Thank goodness I'm not the only one that thinks "Perfect Crime 2" is pretty damn lame. Listening to it a couple times I've not been able to place my finger on it, but all in all it's corny, doesn't utilize the song writing talent everyone lauds Meloy for having, and it may not be nails on a chalkboard, but it's getting there.
Bummer about Petra Haden, she was (is) awesome.
Hey-
I just posted The Decemberists live at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR over at Sleepytalk.
Sweet hyperbole, Batman! Perfect Crime 2 'unlistenable'? It's by far the weakest song on a very good album- the lyrics are crap and the tune repetitive, but it's not THAT bad.
Maybe Chris needs to explain "unlistenable." If you say "yeah, it's repetitive", "has crap lyrics", and "is the weakest track on the record", how does that possibly describe something you proudly listen to? No it's not literally unlistenable. It's just something we do not in enjoy listening to or avoid listening to = unlistenable.
Garrison: Yeah, I understand your point; maybe I should have been a bit clearer and a bit less glib. Although it's the weakest song on the album, it's not terrible (it's got a perfectly decent bassline). It's just boring and shrugworthy. I wouldn't particularly choose to listen to it, but I wouldn't go "OMFG THIS SONG OFFENDS ME SO MUCH I MUST CHANGE IT RIGHT NOW." So no, I wouldn't call it "unlistenable".
But, meh, it's all semantics.
I did rather enjoy the debut of, "Male Junkie Prostitute." Playing a B-side and "I was Meant For The Stage," for the encore was a very nice choice.
Becky Stark is completely obnoxious as a performer. She was tanked off her mind and kept yelling "I love you" and "this is the best night of my life" at the crowd between songs when I saw her open before. God and she writes shitty songs.
Lavender Diamond was so horrible.
Just terrible!
The Decemberists were amazing.
Someone mentioned above that the 'new girl' is Lisa Molinaro from Talkdemonic, but I just have to state that Talkdemonic is incredible. Beat Romatic is one of my favorite albums of this past year, and if you want to get a feel for the music that she makes, you have to check it out.
You guys are crazy. Lavender Diamond were amazing and I'm almost 100% certain that Becky Stark was stone cold sober. That is just her insane personality. Their music is super anthemic and great, reminded me of The Band.
sometimes you can go to earn the Rose zuly for your own life and you can also get a lot of happiness in the game if you play the game well. you can brush the rose zulie to upgrade and then you are very strong. You think that you want to play the game well and then you can get the rose online zuly for your own. you can earn the rose online zulie alone and you can give some for your friends; it can make you very happy I think. As long as you play the game you can get the Arua ROSE zuly as the rewards in this game.

「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上，最重要的一件事，就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己，你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗，耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己，你才能體會所有美好的東西，所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己，你才有愛人的能力，也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步，就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去，以無沾無滯的輕快心情，大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步，則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇，願意接受未知的指引；也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊，一路雲淡風輕。親愛的，你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人，在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.........................................................................................................................................................................................
