Just so we're clear, I'm not an anal rapist

Posted over 5 years ago
In case you aren't "privy" to the "joke," my mog name comes from Arrested Development, wherein Tobias Funke announces that, as the first man to combine analysis with therapy, he became the first "analrapist." So don't be frightened.I'm really enjoying The Crane Wife, the new Decemberists CD. My top track choices are1) Sons and Daughters- It's another classic shanty like song from Colin Meloy that's really happy and cathartic, with a really pretty round and some nice banjo playing.2) The Island- It's about 12 minutes long, but it's really catchy, especially the middle portion entitled "The Landlord's Daughter," which is about as close to "pirate rock" as I think anyone will ever create. There's a lot of "The Tain" in here, if you listen closely (or, hell, at all)3) The Shankill Butchers- Finally, another creepy Decemberists song, reminiscent of "Cautionary Tale." It's a decent album overall, and I'm sure I'll get into the other songs as I listen more. It's definitely not as poppy as Picaresque, and despite that album being my favorite Decemberists LP, it's a good thing.
