My first pick of 2011
 

Just got hold of a pre release of The Decemberists newest.
"The King Is Dead"
Real good stuff. Here is a sample:YouTube - The Decemberists - The King Is Dead (Available Everywhere January 18, 2011)

not my usual stuff but I kind of like it.
I love the vids of recording studios, some of the best times of my life were in the studio. Its a great feeling.
