Because I'm still not over it...

I'm listening to nothing but the Decemberists (with some New Pornographers and Futureheads, a light sprinkling) after the awesomeness of Saturday's concert. Picaresque has been getting heavy rotation, becoming the second Decemberists album I want to listen to straight through (The Crane Wife being the other and best one). The DVD I got at the show (A Practical Handbook) is highly entertaining (the concert) and informative (the documentary). So good. And my love affair with technology continues as more and more people upload videos from the concert to YouTube.

Here's Colin leading the audience through the "la-de-da" part of "Sixteen Military Wives." I'm standing directly behind the third guy he gets to do a solo, although you can't see me.


And here's drummer John Moen crowd surfing.
