Decemberists Albums Free Download Torrent the Decemberists Release Music Video on Bittorrent decemberists albums free download torrent The Decemberists Release Music Video on BitTorrent. The indie rock band “The Decemberists” has more faith in BitTorrent than MTV. The band from Portland, Oregon want their video to be available to a wide public, and BitTorrent is the easiest way to do so. For the most part, MTV and VH1 won’t touch video unless bands have sold a huge number of records, it’s impossible to get rotation.” Publishing a video on BitTorrent, is cheap, easy and efficient. The hardcore fans helped to seed the torrent and within a couple of days the torrent was downloaded more that 2000 times. Slim Moon, founder of Kill Rock Stars, the Decemberists’ record label responds: “No matter where you stand on issues of copyright, a network like BitTorrent is really for exactly this kind of thing When you have content that you want to freely distribute, it seems like … the most logical way to distribute.” The video for “Sixteen Military Wives” was shot for less than $6,000 at a high school in Portland, Oregon, and features members of the band participating in a Model United Nations, a simulation popular in high schools to teach students about problem-solving and international relations. In the video, Decemberists singer Colin Meloy represents the United States and boldly declares war on Luxembourg, a not-so-subtle jab at the Bush administration’s decision to go to war. By the way, their album “Castaways and Cutouts” probably looks familiar to most people in the BitTorrent community. The Decemberists Albums: Ranked from Worst to Best. The Decemberists rode the wave of early 21st century Indie to success, attracting attention with their predilection for historic epics and olde English folk music. They hail from Portland, Oregon, but the band was named for the Decembrist Revolution in 19th century Imperial Russia. The band’s invented back story describes how they met in a Turkish bathhouse and how they only travel by dirigible balloon. Front-man Colin Meloy is the band’s leader, writing their material, often in a storytelling mode that recalls historical events and uses long words. Meloy is an anglophile, whose favourite music includes The Smiths, Shirley Collins, and The Waterboys. The band’s folk rock often features acoustic instruments like bouzouki and accordion, and they’ve dabbled in genres like progressive rock and Americana. The Decemberists have attracted ridicule for their grandiose concepts, but I’ve always enjoyed them – although as a bearded, thirty-something history graduate, I’m essentially their target demographic. Here are their eight studio albums to date, ranked from worst to best. What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World. #8, 2015 What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World repeats the stripped down sound of The King is Dead . The band’s grand concepts are tucked away, replaced by more personal songs from Meloy. But at 57 minutes of unambitious material, What a Terrible World… outstays its welcome, despite highlights like ‘Calvary Captain’ and ‘Philomena’. What a terrible world, what a beautiful world 12/17/12. I’ll Be Your Girl. #7, 2018 Most bands’ output diminishes in productivity and focus as its members grow older and start families. This is particularly evident for The Decemberists. As well as family responsibilities, Meloy’s enjoying a parallel career as a children’s writer. I’ll Be Your Girl is The Decemberists least coherent album, trying different styles with little focus. The band adding 1980s synths to their sonic palette, but the best song is the folk epic ‘Rusalka, Rusalka / Wild Rushes’. Come down, my little darling, oh farther come in For deeper the water, the sweeter the sin Rusalka, Rusalka / Wild Rushes. Her Majesty The Decemberists. #6, 2003 The Decemberists’ second album captures them at their most theatrical, with songs like ‘I Was Meant For The Stage’. But Her Majesty The Decemberists often feels too light on musical ideas, overwhelmed by the group’s mid 19th century whimsy. All a-drifting, he’s a nogood boyo Sent a-fishing for a whalebone corset frame (His only catch all day) Billy Liar. The Hazards of Love. #5, 2009 The Decemberists had previously flirted with multi-part suites and progressive rock, but the entirety of The Hazards of Lov e is given over to an hour long rock opera. Guest vocalists like My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and Shara Nova of My Brightest Diamond sing the roles of characters along with Meloy, including the Forest Queen and a shape-shifter. I enjoy the folk and progressive rock palette of this record – it’s sometimes reminiscent of Jethro Tull – but it suffers from the standard weaknesses of rock operas, like repeated melodic ideas. And painting rings around your eyes these peppered holes so filled with crying A whisper weighed upon the tattered down where you and I were lying The Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowned) Picaresque. #4, 2005 The exaggerated Victorian theatricality of Her Majesty the Decemberists was an evolutionary dead end, and the group reinvigorated themselves with the poppier Picaresque . There are great pop tunes like the brassy ’16 Military Wives’ and the acoustic ‘The Engine Driver’, although Meloy’s lyrics are too grandiloquent for mainstream radio. But the album suffers from the long and salty narrative of ‘The Mariner’s Revenge Song’; a fun story that doesn’t offer enough musically to hold up for multiple listens. Fifteen celebrity minds Leading their fifteen sordid, wretched, checkered lives Will they find the solution in time Using their fifteen crispy moderate liberal minds 16 Military Wives. Castaways and Cutouts. #3, 2002 Meloy had already made an album with Tarkio, and the group had already released the EP 5 Songs , so it’s not surprising that The Decemberists started strongly. Their debut album is assured, with their historical shtick and prominent acoustic instrumentation already in place. Opener ‘Leslie Anne Levine’ stakes out their career territory beautifully – a dark tale with a pretty acoustic arrangement. My name is Leslie Anne Levine My mother birthed me down a dry ravine My mother birthed me far too soon Born at nine and dead at noon Leslie Anne Levine. The Crane Wife. #2, 2006 The Crane Wife marks the end of The Decemberists’ initial burst of creativity, their fourth album in just over four years. It’s divided between long, prog-rock flavoured songs like ‘The Island’, and succinct, accessible pieces like ‘Summersong’ and ‘Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)’. With this balance, it’s probably the most representative of the group’s oeuvre; it’s a great place to start with their music. Its contents watched by Sycorax And Patagon in parallax The Island. The King is Dead. #1, 2011 The Decemberists streamlined for the new decade, stripping back their material to short, succinct songs, and showcasing a sound that leaned more heavily on Americana than on British influences. The group, aided by collaborators like Peter Buck, Gillian Welch, and Dave Rawlings, serve up a terrific set of songs like the rollicking ‘Rox in the Box’ and the pastoral prettiness of ‘January Hymn’. Hail the winter days after dark Wandering the gray memorial park A fleeting beating of hearts January Hymn. The definitive ranking of The Decemberists’ discography. I love The Decemberists. So much. It’s been four years since their last studio album and I could not be more excited for the new album to release on Tuesday. As such, I re-listened to all of their studio releases to reacquaint myself with the albums and develop my ranking of least to most favorite. There are definitely worse things I could do to my ears 6. Castaways and Cutouts. The Decemberists’ first studio album, it’s not as strong as their other releases. There are a few standout tracks – A Cautionary Song is a three- minute long “yo mama” joke that I enjoy very, very much – but the rest aren’t anything to brag about. Granted, the “worst” Decemberists album is still far above a lot of other musical choices. 5. Her Majesty the Decemberists. I promise my rankings aren’t just the order of the discography. One of my favorite Decemberists songs ever – Red Right Ankle – is featured on the album. The songs are a little catchier and the album flows better, not dragging as much as the previous one. On Her Majesty the Decemberists, the band really develops and establishes the sound that flows through the next three releases. 4. The King is Dead. A lot of people have gripes with this album. It’s not my favorite album by the band but it’s definitely not my least favorite. It has a different sound than the others as it ventures into a more folk country vibe. It was a new experiment for the band but I think it works. And I have a lot of respect for a band that takes risks with their sound. 3. The Crane Wife. Admittedly, these last three albums were very difficult to rank. I tried listening to the attached EPs/bonus tracks to help decide and it still didn’t work. But this is what I landed on. The Crane Wife is beautiful and its out-of-order story tracks make this a dedicated listening experience. This one tends to be a favorite of die-hard Decemberists fans and it is certainly a favorite of mine, but it’s just not quite there for me. It doesn’t hold my attention quite as deeply as the next two. Also, I included any bonus tracks in my judgment of these albums, and while After the Bombs and Culling of the Fold are so good they deserve to be on the album proper, The Perfect Crime #1 is a boring 15 minutes compared to the rest of the tracks.

The Eastern Michigan University Choral Department and the Michigan American Choral Directors Association are so pleased to welcome you to Sing for Justice, Michigan! Music has always been way for people to express themselves and the call for justice is not new to our age. We each understand that the arts have a role to play, and that is why we are here. To understand and to maximize that role is critical to the artist and we are here to discuss the intersection of arts and justice issues. While we have differences among us, the arts can be a common ground for people of myriad backgrounds, whether those variations be political, religious, cultural, or otherwise. Today we celebrate these differences and we gather to examine how we can help inspire others to celebrate them, as well. EMU and ACDA-MI are thrilled to host renowned composer and arranger Stacey Gibbs, singer-songwriter Shara Nova from the band My Brightest Diamond, and a variety of other presenters and performing ensembles as they seek to find ways to use the arts for justice issues.

  • The Decemberists's the Tain
    November 2, 2015 American Folk Rock Cattle Raid: The Decemberists’s The Tain Kendra Leonard (Humble, TX) The Decemberists’s The Tain is a five-part, 18-minute audiovisual piece in which the music and lyrics obliquely comment on the story, crafted in stop-motion animation using paper silhouettes. In this confluence of music and literature, we hear and see an ancient Irish epic become a twentieth-century folk rock narrative. The combination of roots music with an edge and sly, knowing lyrics—together with the animation—offers an imaginative approach to the legend, the action of which is said to have taken place in the first century CE. The Decemberists’s The Tain. It’s worth the whole 18 minutes, I promise. In the original Irish legend—Táin Bó Cúailnge (pronounced “Tane bo coo-lenje”) or The Cattle Raid of Cooley—Queen Medb of Connacht plots to steal the prize bull of Ulster, the neighboring kingdom. But the bull is protected by the great Irish hero Cúchulainn, who has a number of supernatural friends who mostly help him in his quest to save the bull and, ultimately, Ulster. The battles of the Raid generally involve Cúchulainn (“coo hull-an”) against a single foe, but at times he must take on an entire army by himself, as the other warriors of Ulster are cursed and suffer a debilitating illness. The story of the Raid is one of the oldest in Irish literature and has been translated into English several times. In The Decemberists’s video, the artists include a simplified version of the story using intertitles—a technique from silent film where frames of text help viewers understand the action sequences.

    2009-2010 Four Quarter Set #1 Round 12 First Quarter, Ten Tossups 1. Along with Szilard, this man invented a refrigerator that has no mechanical parts. He is the namesake of a model of heat capacity that is similar to Debye's. He gives his name to rings that occur when light bends around by a large mass. This man's namesake field equations describe gravitation. In 1905, this man wrote a paper on Brownian motion, and another paper on the quantized nature of the photoelectric effect. He also envisioned a theory that led to the twin paradox. For 10 points, name this physicist behind special and general relativity. ANSWER: Albert Einstein 001-09-1-12101 2. One character created by this author escapes from a tower with the aid of his aunt Gina, and earlier stumbles onto the Waterloo battlefield.
