See this ancient riverbed, see where all our follies are led, down by the water and down by the old main drag... (The Decemberists - Down By the Water)
The reason for this post is 2 parts: (1) I wanted to check to see how Soundcloud worked (2) I really love this song; I just realized that that is Gilian Welch singing with The Decemberists. This is one of my favorite songs of the year so far.

Bob Dylan is 70
How does it feel to be on your own; With no direction home, like a complete unknown... (Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone)
Bob Dylan was born as Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941. Happy Birthady Bob! Here are 10 of my favorite Dylan covers.

The King is Dead
Had a dream you and me and the war of the end times... (The Decemberists - The Calamity Song)
I bought the new Decemberists cd The King is Dead based on hearing the fine song Down By the Water. After repeated listens I have to put the cd in my early list for best of 2011. The King is Dead is so solid with no weak spots and a lot of high points.
Down By the Water is sort of a cross between a Springsteen & R.E.M. song, musically along the lines of The One I Love; The Calamity Song reminds me of Murmer era R.E.M., a song about the end of the world (come to think of it didn't R.E.M. do a song about the end of the world...); Rox in the Box is a nice work-sing along song about a working in a granite mine; another high point is This Is Why We Fight; I highly recommend the King is Dead.
