I managed to come by a promo (through legit means I might add) and I have to say I've been playing it non stop the last two weeks its a mighty record and its got some of their finest work ever on this album I reckon. Also Peter Buck makes a couple of great cameos with that Rickenbacker of his and Gillian Welch is all over it.

I saw an elsebound train, on the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can't go
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.

now you can watch The Decemberists play the awesomness that is their new album live in full right here...

you might be interested in this eoin- dunno if you've seen it yet or not- and for everyone else NYC Taper is a great site with live recordings from across New York's huge music scene (but not the shit stuff) including a show by a certain British galavant from 2007/2008ish

great , thanks for that I'll take a look. Have been following their tour updates on facebook and those set lists they are coming up with on this tour are just perfect and tickets for their show in March funnily enough just hit my doormat about half an hour ago. Cant hardly wait.
