  • 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.

Huppert’s presentation focused on how social media has affected the field of jour- nalism and how news organizations can use it. Huppert said that he is still learning how to best utilize social media. “I’ve been trying to figure social media out, and I made a lot of mistakes early on because I tried to write teases, and people don’t share teases,” Huppert said. Teases are short promotional announcements for upcoming TV news stories. Instead, Huppert said that he has started writing narratives in his posts and carrying a camera to take high-quality photos to post on Facebook and Twitter. Huppert said that he used to be the person in the back of the newsroom asking why so- cial media was important. He talked about presenting a session at the Excellence in Journalism conference in Orlando, Florida, in September. “I told the group there that me doing a session on social media would be equivalent to Donald Trump hosting a welcome party for immigrants,” Huppert said.

  • A Conversation with Alicia J. Rose by Frank Goodman (5/2007, Puremusic.Com)
    A Conversation with Alicia J. Rose by Frank Goodman (5/2007, Puremusic.com) Certainly one of the more outrageous personalities we've come upon in recent memory crossed our path first as a photographer, and then as a musical artist. Alicia J. Rose of Portland, OR, was the source for the photos we used in our recent conversation with the fast rising Portland act Sophe Lux, fronted by Gwynneth Haynes. Then right after that, she coincidentally turned out to be the shooter for Menomena, reviewed here by Robert Karmin of Portland. One of our designers said that we had to take a closer look at this person, as she is also a musician of repute. (Ill repute, she might say.) The musical alter ego of photographer Alicia Rose is an avant-garde accordionist and composer known as Miss Murgatroid. Miss M has made some genre and mindbending solo CDs, but some of her finest work has been with the illustrious Petra Haden, daughter of jazz bass icon Charlie Haden; Petra is notorious for cutting an a cappella version of The Who Sell Out. (She also made a beautiful record with Bill Frisell, was a member of The Decemberists, played on a zillion records, is one of incredibly talented triplet sisters, has an equally talented brother, etc.) The first duo record with Miss Murgatroid and Petra Haden was Bella Neurox, which met with wide acclaim on many fronts, and the latest from the duo, Hearts and Daggers, is sure to do even more. It is extremely special and multi-purpose music, and needs to be investigated on the Listen page, to see whether you are on the fast growing list of people who feel they must have it in their life.

In advance of their fifth full-length, The Hazards Of Love , due out March 24, Portland art-rock band The Decemberists is offering a free download of one of the album's tracks, "A Rake's Song." Or at least they're trying to; their website, decemberists.com , currently seems to be choking under the load, with the "sign up for this download" form and the front page only working sporadically. Here's a sneak preview of the sneak preview: "The Rake's Song," a typically grim, catchy Decemberists chant-along about a selfish man who guiltlessly murders his children, is likely the best track to ease fans from the relative simplicity of the group's last album, The Crane Wife , into the heavily stylized new album, which is being billed as a rock opera, and is much more heavily produced and layered than past Decemberists albums.
