I’ve gone for years listening to various albums ad nauseum, soaking in as much as possible with multiple listens a day for each record.   The most memorable of these was “The Colour and the Shape” by the Foo Fighters, which I wore down over the course of months while working at a state job.   The latest album that I find myself infatuated with is The Decemberists‘ “The Hazards of Love” — which is, to my knowledge, the truest concept album with a wide audience since the 70s.

I saw them perform it live at ACL (though it was from the comfort of my living room) and I loved it.   After multiple listens, I’m all the more intrigued by the musical and lyrical intricacies and the fun storytelling.

You can now, through the Magic of The Intarwebs, watch it live too:
