The Onion A.V. Club has some ideas for which music artists I should be devoting more attention to. So, I gave them some attention and they all suck the mop. Except, for the first band: The Decemberists. I downloaded their album, Picaresque, and to my surprise it's the best record I've heard all year. But don't ask me what it sounds like and don't ask me if you would like it, because I really couldn't say. I guess if you like Belle and Sebastian you will like The Decemberists. But, I don't like Belle and Sebastian, really, and I love this record. So I don't know what to tell you.
