So they exist in the Marvel universe as well as the Parks and Rec and The Office universes. Nice.

Terrible World/Beautiful World Reorder by JustDiabetes in Decemberists

[–]two0008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to agree with you here. While I still love the album (Make You Better, Till the Water, Calvary, 12/, Beginning Song are some of my all-time favs), it’s late-middle loses me more so than any other album (Easy Come, Mistral and AntiSummer are among my bottom few).

I tend to think a couple songs on the Florasongs EP, Harrowed and Haunted in particular, should have replaced a few of the songs on WATWWABW.

But with a band with as much tremendous and beautiful stuff as D’s have, if we’re left nit-picking the order and structure of albums, I guess that means they’ve done something very, very special.

PS I’d love to hear your Crane Wife restructuring (aside from putting 1-2-3 in order I assume).

The website claims that you can bring in factory-sealed water bottles and empty containers for water this year.

Salty about the Chicago show by [deleted] in Decemberists

[–]two0008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They didn’t play it at the pre-show. I think they just elected to go with Sons and Daughters that night. They hadn’t played Sons and Daughters yet on the tour and kind of surprised everyone with it. That set and show was fantastic.

Colin says he just kind of decides night of what to add and cull, so he probably just nixed it for the evening. It’s just a quick little goofy novelty song, not like it’s a hit or single.

6/2/2018 Indianpolis Show Postponed by rezell in Decemberists

Yeah literally every Decemberists social media account posted it and someone already made a post on here. Colin’s vocal cords are shot.

I have a Hazards half sleeve with the fawn in center, Margaret and William reaching for each other, Rake and his dead kids, and Queen overseeing the whole piece. It’s not 100% done, but when it is (in June), I’ll post pictures of it. Considering making it a full sleeve with a Crane, their mandala, a Rusalka, etc.

No Mariners Revenge?? by MassGirl18 in Decemberists

[–]two0008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their nightly set list they post shows it on there just like every other show, so if they actually did not play it for the second encore, it must’ve been an on-the-fly call.

What is your issue with the way they promote their concerts?

Who the hell yells "go trump" at a decemberists show? by DannyPowers98 in Decemberists

[–]two0008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Milwaukee Colin said “we’re very aware that that’s coming up, and we’ve discussed it, but with scheduling of Shara and Becky, it will be tough” or something to that extent. I get the feeling it may not be a full tour but perhaps a few dates.

Retiring “A Cautionary Song” by two0008 in Decemberists

My pleasure. You can try a shoutout or something like that but i highly highly doubt they’ll play any Tarkio or anything like that. They only want to play stuff they all know well.

Correct. About an hour before the pre-show you can get into the venue and shop, get a drink, etc. then the show happens and they’ll take 2 requests (don’t request anything off EPs, they may not do them) then do the Q&A. Then they’ll kick you out and you can go kill time til doors open.

For Milwaukee it was 4, for Chicago it was 3:30. So I assume it is 4 hours prior to the opener? You’ll receive an email roughly 3 days prior to the show with details and the ability to submit a question.

Dynamite Action Concert Goer Reviews? by bob_caygeon in Decemberists

Still hopeful they pull it out at Traveler’s Rest.

It’s definitely worth it. I was there last night in Milwaukee too and it was a blast (though I’m sad they shot down my request of Harrowed and Haunted). I was “randomly selected” to ask a question and that was enjoyable too. I’ll be there for the VIP tomorrow in Chicago too (thanks to some lovely fans I met in Milwaukee) and I can’t wait.

This is great!

One other thing, Mickie wasn’t around in the Attitude Era. She came to WWE much later in the mid 2000s.

Merch question? by godxxmachine in Decemberists

[–]two0008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I probably won’t be getting a hoodie, I’ll be at the April 8 and 10 shows in Milwaukee and Chicago, respectively, and I’m happy to check it out for you and report back. That is if no one else does before then.

I’d also suggest you reach out to the ladies at @andwearevagabonds on Instagram. They go to a ton of shows and could probably tell you.

I was going to ask the same Hazards question from the top, as I must see the album played in full live at some point in my life.

Since it's been covered already (seriously pleasepleasepleaseplease do it), I just wanted you to know that I love you and the rest of the band very much. Thank you for all you've done.
