mad band named after a russian party division of the first world war. They're awesome, have three full length albums, one "The Tain EP" (in a class by itself), and one more EP.
Anonymous: How come that person in headphones is dancing like an epileptic?
Me: AND WE'LL ALL GO PRAISE THE INFANTA!!!!!!!!!!"
A genre-transcending band one must actually hear to fully appreciate. Like a runaway train engineered by ragtag poets overfond of spinning literary anachronisms into exultant ballads.
Pure joy.
Have you heard of The Decemberists?
Their music makes my nipples hard.
They are that good.
The most excellent historical/literary indie rock/pop band that ever hit the airwaves. Led by frontman Colin Meloy, they constantly deliver songs that take us to worlds long gone to the sound of witty lyrics and perhaps a bit of polka or metal to back it up.
Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What're you listening to?
Me: The Tain, by The Decemberists
Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What the hell's that? All I know is that no one around me listens to it, so I shouldn't either. Everyone knows that musical taste isn't what you think sounds good, it's what other people tell me SHOULD sound good.
DECEMBERUNDERGROUND is a time and a place. It is where the cold can huddle together in darkness and isolation. It is a community of those detached and disillusioned who flee to love, like winter, in the recesses below the rest of the world.
-Davey Havok of AFI
Decemberunderground could be 11:11 on Demas Street.
The Decemberists are one of the best indie rock/folk bands out there. Keep an eye out for their soon to be released album "Picaresque". It has "The mariners revenge" track, which is possibly the best lyrical song ever written.
You: Hey, I'm bored of my music, got a recomendation?
Me: Check out the Decemberists, they're amazing.
You: K, thanks.
The latest album by AFI (A Fire Inside). Although different from their previous albums, it still kicks ass. Often dissed on by closed minded fucks that only accept AFI's older albums.
closed minded fuck: "oh god!! i hate hate hate AFI's new album!! i love "old school afi" better! they disappoint me!"
me:"uh, ya.. you need to cheer up and get over it. ill talk to you later.. im going to go listen to decemberunderground."
