MP3 of the Week

I have been getting into The Decemberists lately.

Their new record, Picaresque, has been in heavy rotation lately.

So I went searching for more Decemberists music.

I did a delicious search and found this cool blog called My Old Kentucky Blog with some good Decemberists covers.

I tagged some of them that sounded interesting with Fred'sPodcast and downloaded them to my iPod.

I liked them all, but the one I liked the best was their cover of Squeeze's Up The Junction.

So I am making The Decemberists singing Up The Junction my MP3 of the Week.

I think you would like the following bands:

Neutral Milk Hotel
Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah
Sufjan Stevens
Dungen
The Go! Team

I'll try to throw some of the tracks into your del.icio.us feed.

If you like the Decemberists, you should also check out Colin Meloy's covers of the Smiths.

Having been a party to an attempted cover of Up The Junction, all I can say is that I'm impressed bty anyone who can sing that song, a whole lotta lyrics....

Just re-read your post. Should have followed the links to the covers the first time around Sorry!

Here's the Meloy/Morrissey self-released record that I was referring to:
