Decemberists - Full Interview From "A Practical Handbook" (2007)

[@patdarish6777]

I was introduced to this band with the Hazards of Love and wow that was fantastic- probably listened to it three times straight in the first sitting. Have collected and enjoyed everything since. These are “my people’ for certain. The Hazards should be a musical for sure- can never get enough of it. Keep at it Colin and the band we love you❤

I'm not surprised they were surprised they had any fans at all. If the veil hadn't been lifted from my eyes a long time ago and I hadn't learned to view humanity as they really are, I would be surprised that they don't have even more fans than they actually do, but I'm well aware that very often quality and true value has a hard time gaining more appreciation than vulgar, commercialised dross in the world we live in. I mean, their songs are meaningful, poetic, melodic; their delivery more creative, even their choice of instrumentation is a bit special, more refined and informed than your regular run-of-the-mill mainstream band...the sort of thing a more select, knowledgeable few would appreciate. But if you're in that category, when you hear them once you're hooked for good!

I have played to empty houses, I just think of it as rehearsal time until someone comes in......part of the job.
