News Decemberists Live the Single Life
Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 9:30 AM
P4K reports that the Decemberists have launched a singles series on both digital and vinyl formats. Cassingles are not welcome here.
The singles--titled Always the Bridesmaid: A Singles Series-- will be released digitally by mom & pop label Capitol Records, and on vinyl by local multi-national conglomerate Jealous Butcher Records (I think I got that right) and the band's own Y.A.B.B. Records imprint. Anyone know what "Y.A.B.B." means?
The details:
Volume One (out October 14th):
"Valerie Plame"
"O New England"
Volume Two (out November 4th):
"Days of Elaine"
"Days of Elaine [Long]"
Volume Three (out December 2nd):
"Record Year"
"Raincoat Song"
Once we hear more we'll let you know.
9:26am update:
We heard more! As of this morning, the LPs can be pre-ordered from the band, and the first orders will come on fancy colored vinyl. Speaking of, the vinyl will be 12-inch LPs, not the usual 7-inch single, or the very rare, record player breaking, 19-inch LP. I wish.
Showing 1-3 of 3
Wow. If that is the case I promise to buy every single record they ever release. I miss D'Angelo.
God, watching D die killed me. Not as much as my boy Wallace, but still....
Oh, and it's gotta stand for Youth and Beauty Brigade, right?
Need Scooter Service?
We sell and repair scooters, and have a full service department specializing in Chinese brand scooters; we work on all brands of scooters, however.
