The Decemberists on Vinyl! (2002-2024)

In light of The Decemberists' 2024 album As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again, I'm digging deep into my vinyl record collection and sharing the band's journey from their formation in 2000 through the latest from the new album. I'll share all studio albums in my collection, a handful of EPs, and a few 7-inch singles as well. AND, I share my thoughts on the first two songs the band has dropped from the upcoming album!

Colin Meloy also wrote my favorite book ever, The Whiz Mob and the Grenadine Kid

[@TheRudieLibrarian]

I am so glad to see both you and @vinylreckoning talking about them. I love them so much. I saw them at Radio City Music Hall when I was in vacation in NY in like 2008 or something. Do you have Colin Meloy’s solo stuff or Tarkio as well?

[@AndyFenstermaker]

I used to have Colin Melloy Live on vinyl but sold it a number of years ago. I do have a few of his solo cover CD EPs still though!

[@garyocicki4120]

Crane wife! 😊🎉

[@AndyFenstermaker]

So good!! Dude… you gotta check out “Joan in the Garden”

[@alaizquierdadeldial]

bro! finally a channel that talks about one of my most beloved bands! I precisely have the 3 albums that you are missing from your The Decemberist collection. My favorite will always be The King is Dead because of his relationship with R.E.M. Good video bro!

[@AndyFenstermaker]

I need to give The King Is Dead another listen for sure! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeyfromnowhere]

King is Dead is a notoriously bad pressing: majorly off-center so the needle jumps all over the place.

Hi Andy, loving the enthusiasm! I’m a big fan of the Decemberists, all on CD however. I wasn’t aware of The Tain or Always the Bridesmaid so will check them out. By the way you do know it’s Pennyfarthing and not Pennyfarther? Andy

[@AndyFenstermaker]

I do, but always forget re: Pennyfarthing. 🤦‍♂️ The Tain is one of my favorites by the band… you are in for a treat!

[@vinylreckoning]

Look at us liking the same band. To be fair I’m not an “active” fan but I’ve never heard a song I didn’t like.

[@AndyFenstermaker]

Do check out “Joan in the Garden” - seriously blew my mind! It’s kind of a three parter across it’s 19.3 minute length, with the middle one being more of an instrumental breakdown. The third part is a hefty rocker and the first one is just plain GOOD! I’m probably going to do a road trip to Nashville in late May to catch them, even though they’ll be in DFW earlier that month.
