The Long and Short of It

Via Pitchfork, how awesome is this tour, where the Decemberists play two nights at smaller venues, one with the longer songs in their catalog and one with the shorter songs. Though nothing will top the free Decemberist show at Millenium Park, I'm digging the concept tours they've got going at small or interesting venues; if it were just a regular tour, I probably wouldn't feel the need to go.

The Decemberists hit the Vic Theatre October 28 and 29 (unfortunately a Sunday and Monday, the two worst days to hit up a show) with Laura Veirs.
