Things I've Found

This ‘singles series’ is aptly titled “Always the Bridesmaid” and will prominently feature songs that the Decemberists really loved but presciently felt they would not fit on the band’s forthcoming LP. The first volume will hit fine indie record stores everywhere on October 14th, and will be comprised of “Valerie Plame,” and “O New England” on the A and B side, respectively. The second volume, “Days of Elaine” b/w “Days of Elaine (Long)” and “I’m Sticking With You,” will be released on November 4th. In celebration of both Volume 2’s release and the promise of a shiny new administration, the Decemberists will be performing “Valerie Plame” on Late Night with Conan O’Brien on the 3rd of November.
