I’m losing my mind over the “Tortured Pistons Department” Taylor Swift reference 😂 So looking forward to hearing Joan live! I can’t believe it’s only a few weeks away! I still haven’t figured out what to ask during the Q&A because I feel like you guys are always very transparent with the music and very open on Substack. But I’ll come up with something wacky I’m sure!!
Decemberists ARISE! OFF THE COUCHES! UP FROM THE BASEMENT (that's you, Funk). Jenny's gonna whip everyone into SHAPE! Go Jenny! Can't wait to see you on the tour finale! (Spoiler mode on for me from now until then!)
Please don't think any of this is boring to share!! As a person with absolutely no musical knowledge or skill I am so interested and love the behind the scenes peeks! I'm so excited to hear Oh No!
OMG! Kingston is your first show- cool. —-we have been to see you several times and will be at the Kingston show. We are on a Mariner’s Revenge quest, please consider playing it in Kingston. We have never seen it performed live. Pleaaase….
Thanks for giving us a peek into the process. We are excited to see you all live again and hope you are able to return to Ohio on a tour soon!
Can't wait to see how 'Joan' is handled live. I imagine it is a challenge but also gives you some freedom to try new things in the interlude/spaced-out spiritual vision section?
Pour one out for Ratfucker.
Whispering to the wind, I know, but please consider "East India Lanes." It's a brilliant song and needs more love.
Looking forward to the tour!
I think there's a Ratfucker in all of us.

My son and his wife are coming down from Montreal to catch the DC show at The Anthem with us. Can't wait!

Can't wait for the KEXP set!
Any idea what sized drums John is playing? Looks like it might be 22/13/16” vintage Gretsch, but can’t tell.

Your diaries are the best. Love seeing behind the curtain.

“imperved”!!!!
God bless you, Mr. Meloy.
“your lighting designer goes by the sobriquet ‘Ratfucker’ and likes to do sprinting laps in the bus corridor at 3am while chroming Arrid Extra Dry.”
Honestly, haven’t we all done a little bit of spray-on deodorant huffing every now and again? Good for the soul. Perspective-granting.
Colin, we just want you to know how much we appreciate your diaries. Thank you. We are literally pumped for your upcoming live shows.
Hnnnggg Funk's pedal Steel is on Long White Veil? WHY MUST WE WAIT UNTIL JUNE 14TH!?!?!?
