We were quite excited to be the only other on line emporium to offer you exclusive access to the colored vinyl editions of these fabulous new singles. As it seems that many of you were just as excited, we sold out of our colored stock. Henceforth any order you place will be the still totally limited, but strikingly black version.
First and foremost, you'll be pleased to know that we've recorded a tidy heap of material which we're releasing as 12" vinyl and digital singles over the course of three Autumnal months. This 'singles series' is aptly titled "Always the Bridesmaid" and will prominently feature songs that the Decemberists really loved but presciently felt they would not fit on the band's forthcoming LP.

The second volume, "Days of Elaine" b/w "Days of Elaine (Long)" and "I'm Sticking With You," will be released on November 4th. In celebration of both Volume 2's release and the promise of a shiny new administration, the Decemberists will be performing "Valerie Plame" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on the 3rd of November.
